- Git v1.7.0.1 Release Notes
- ==========================
-
- Fixes since v1.7.0
- ------------------
-
- * In a freshly created repository "rev-parse HEAD^0" complained that
- it is dangling symref, even though "rev-parse HEAD" didn't.
-
- * "git show :no-such-name" tried to access the index without bounds
- check, leading to a potential segfault.
-
- * Message from "git cherry-pick" was harder to read and use than necessary
- when it stopped due to conflicting changes.
-
- * We referred to ".git/refs/" throughout the documentation when we
- meant to talk about abstract notion of "ref namespace". Because
- people's repositories often have packed refs these days, this was
- confusing.
-
- * "git diff --output=/path/that/cannot/be/written" did not correctly
- error out.
-
- * "git grep -e -pattern-that-begin-with-dash paths..." could not be
- spelled as "git grep -- -pattern-that-begin-with-dash paths..." which
- would be a GNU way to use "--" as "end of options".
-
- * "git grep" compiled with threading support tried to access an
- uninitialized mutex on boxes with a single CPU.
-
- * "git stash pop -q --index" failed because the unnecessary --index
- option was propagated to "git stash drop" that is internally run at the
- end.
-
- And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
