- Git v1.6.5.4 Release Notes
- ==========================
-
- Fixes since v1.6.5.3
- --------------------
-
- * "git help" (without argument) used to check if you are in a directory
- under git control. There was no breakage in behaviour per-se, but this
- was unnecessary.
-
- * "git prune-packed" gave progress output even when its standard error is
- not connected to a terminal; this caused cron jobs that run it to
- produce crufts.
-
- * "git pack-objects --all-progress" is an option to ask progress output
- from write-object phase _if_ progress output were to be produced, and
- shouldn't have forced the progress output.
-
- * "git apply -p<n> --directory=<elsewhere>" did not work well for a
- non-default value of n.
-
- * "git merge foo HEAD" was misparsed as an old-style invocation of the
- command and produced a confusing error message. As it does not specify
- any other branch to merge, it shouldn't be mistaken as such. We will
- remove the old style "git merge <message> HEAD <commit>..." syntax in
- future versions, but not in this release,
-
- * "git merge -m <message> <branch>..." added the standard merge message
- on its own after user-supplied message, which should have overridden the
- standard one.
-
- Other minor documentation updates are included.
