- GIT v1.6.0.5 Release Notes
- ==========================
-
- Fixes since v1.6.0.4
- --------------------
-
- * "git checkout" used to crash when your HEAD was pointing at a deleted
- branch.
-
- * "git checkout" from an un-checked-out state did not allow switching out
- of the current branch.
-
- * "git diff" always allowed GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF and --no-ext-diff was no-op for
- the command.
-
- * Giving 3 or more tree-ish to "git diff" is supposed to show the combined
- diff from second and subsequent trees to the first one, but the order was
- screwed up.
-
- * "git fast-export" did not export all tags.
-
- * "git ls-files --with-tree=<tree>" did not work with options other
- than -c, most notably with -m.
-
- * "git pack-objects" did not make its best effort to honor --max-pack-size
- option when a single first object already busted the given limit and
- placed many objects in a single pack.
-
- * "git-p4" fast import frontend was too eager to trigger its keyword expansion
- logic, even on a keyword-looking string that does not have closing '$' on the
- same line.
-
- * "git push $there" when the remote $there is defined in $GIT_DIR/branches/$there
- behaves more like what cg-push from Cogito used to work.
-
- * when giving up resolving a conflicted merge, "git reset --hard" failed
- to remove new paths from the working tree.
-
- * "git tag" did not complain when given mutually incompatible set of options.
-
- * The message constructed in the internal editor was discarded when "git
- tag -s" failed to sign the message, which was often caused by the user
- not configuring GPG correctly.
-
- * "make check" cannot be run without sparse; people may have meant to say
- "make test" instead, so suggest that.
-
- * Internal diff machinery had a corner case performance bug that choked on
- a large file with many repeated contents.
-
- * "git repack" used to grab objects out of packs marked with .keep
- into a new pack.
-
- * Many unsafe call to sprintf() style varargs functions are corrected.
-
- * Also contains quite a few documentation updates.
