1 GIT v1.6.1.1 Release Notes
2 ==========================
7 * "git add frotz/nitfol" when "frotz" is a submodule should have errored
10 * "git apply" took file modes from the patch text and updated the mode
11 bits of the target tree even when the patch was not about mode changes.
13 * "git bisect view" on Cygwin did not launch gitk
15 * "git checkout $tree" did not trigger an error.
17 * "git commit" tried to remove COMMIT_EDITMSG from the work tree by mistake.
19 * "git describe --all" complained when a commit is described with a tag,
22 * "git diff --no-index --" did not trigger no-index (aka "use git-diff as
23 a replacement of diff on untracked files") behaviour.
25 * "git format-patch -1 HEAD" on a root commit failed to produce patch
28 * "git fsck branch" did not work as advertised; instead it behaved the same
31 * "git log --pretty=format:%s" did not handle a multi-line subject the
32 same way as built-in log listers (i.e. shortlog, --pretty=oneline, etc.)
34 * "git daemon", and "git merge-file" are more careful when freopen fails
35 and barf, instead of going on and writing to unopened filehandle.
37 * "git http-push" did not like some RFC 4918 compliant DAV server
40 * "git merge -s recursive" mistakenly overwritten an untracked file in the
41 work tree upon delete/modify conflict.
43 * "git merge -s recursive" didn't leave the index unmerged for entries with
44 rename/delete conflicts.
46 * "git merge -s recursive" clobbered untracked files in the work tree.
48 * "git mv -k" with more than one erroneous paths misbehaved.
50 * "git read-tree -m -u" hence branch switching incorrectly lost a
51 subdirectory in rare cases.
53 * "git rebase -i" issued an unnecessary error message upon a user error of
54 marking the first commit to be "squash"ed.
56 * "git shortlog" did not format a commit message with multi-line
59 Many documentation updates.
