- Git v1.6.5.5 Release Notes
- ==========================
-
- Fixes since v1.6.5.4
- --------------------
-
- * Manual pages can be formatted with older xmlto again.
-
- * GREP_OPTIONS exported from user's environment could have broken
- our scripted commands.
-
- * In configuration files, a few variables that name paths can begin with
- ~/ and ~username/ and they are expanded as expected. This is not a
- bugfix but 1.6.6 will have this and without backporting users cannot
- easily use the same ~/.gitconfig across versions.
-
- * "git diff -B -M" did the same computation to hash lines of contents
- twice, and held onto memory after it has used the data in it
- unnecessarily before it freed.
-
- * "git diff -B" and "git diff --dirstat" was not counting newly added
- contents correctly.
-
- * "git format-patch revisions... -- path" issued an incorrect error
- message that suggested to use "--" on the command line when path
- does not exist in the current work tree (it is a separate matter if
- it makes sense to limit format-patch with pathspecs like that
- without using the --full-diff option).
-
- * "git grep -F -i StRiNg" did not work as expected.
-
- * Enumeration of available merge strategies iterated over the list of
- commands in a wrong way, sometimes producing an incorrect result.
-
- * "git shortlog" did not honor the "encoding" header embedded in the
- commit object like "git log" did.
-
- * Reading progress messages that come from the remote side while running
- "git pull" is given precedence over reading the actual pack data to
- prevent garbled progress message on the user's terminal.
-
- * "git rebase" got confused when the log message began with certain
- strings that looked like Subject:, Date: or From: header.
-
- * "git reset" accidentally run in .git/ directory checked out the
- work tree contents in there.
-
-
- Other minor documentation updates are included.
