1 Git v1.6.6.2 Release Notes
2 ==========================
7 * recursive merge didn't correctly diagnose its own programming errors,
8 and instead caused the caller to segfault.
10 * The new "smart http" aware clients probed the web servers to see if
11 they support smart http, but did not fall back to dumb http transport
12 correctly with some servers.
14 * Time based reflog syntax e.g. "@{yesterday}" didn't diagnose a misspelled
15 time specification and instead assumed "@{now}".
17 * "git archive HEAD -- no-such-directory" produced an empty archive
20 * "git blame -L start,end -- file" misbehaved when given a start that is
21 larger than the number of lines in the file.
23 * "git checkout -m" didn't correctly call custom merge backend supplied
26 * "git config -f <file>" misbehaved when run from a subdirectory.
28 * "git cvsserver" didn't like having regex metacharacters (e.g. '+') in
31 * "git fast-import" did not correctly handle large blobs that may
32 bust the pack size limit.
34 * "git gui" is supposed to work even when launched from inside a .git
37 * "git gui" misbehaved when applying a hunk that ends with deletion.
39 * "git imap-send" did not honor imap.preformattedHTML as documented.
41 * "git log" family incorrectly showed the commit notes unconditionally by
42 mistake, which was especially irritating when running "git log --oneline".
44 * "git status" shouldn't require an write access to the repository.
46 Other minor documentation updates are included.
