- GIT v1.6.4.4 Release Notes
- ==========================
-
- Fixes since v1.6.4.4
- --------------------
-
- * The workaround for Github server that sometimes gave 500 (Internal server
- error) response to HEAD requests in 1.6.4.3 introduced a regression that
- caused re-fetching projects over http to segfault in certain cases due
- to uninitialized pointer being freed.
-
- * "git pull" on an unborn branch used to consider anything in the work
- tree and the index discardable.
-
- * "git diff -b/w" did not work well on the incomplete line at the end of
- the file, due to an incorrect hashing of lines in the low-level xdiff
- routines.
-
- * "git checkout-index --prefix=$somewhere" used to work when $somewhere is
- a symbolic link to a directory elsewhere, but v1.6.4.2 broke it.
-
- * "git unpack-objects --strict", invoked when receive.fsckobjects
- configuration is set in the receiving repository of "git push", did not
- properly check the objects, especially the submodule links, it received.
-
- Other minor documentation updates are included.
