1 GIT v1.6.0.3 Release Notes
2 ==========================
7 * "git archive --format=zip" did not honor core.autocrlf while
10 * Continuing "git rebase -i" was very confused when the user left modified
11 files in the working tree while resolving conflicts.
13 * Continuing "git rebase -i" was also very confused when the user left
14 some staged changes in the index after "edit".
16 * "git rebase -i" now honors the pre-rebase hook, just like the
17 other rebase implementations "git rebase" and "git rebase -m".
19 * Behaviour of "git diff --quiet" was inconsistent with "diff --exit-code"
20 with the output redirected to /dev/null.
22 * "git diff --no-index" on binary files no longer outputs a bogus
23 "diff --git" header line.
25 * Hunk headers in "git diff" default to using extended regular
26 expressions, fixing some of the internal patterns on non-GNU
29 * New config "diff.*.xfuncname" exposes extended regular expressions
30 for user specified hunk header patterns.
32 * "git stash apply sash@{1}" was fixed to error out. Prior versions
33 would have applied stash@{0} incorrectly.
35 * "git stash apply" now offers a better suggestion on how to continue
36 if the working tree is currently dirty.
38 * "git for-each-ref --format=%(subject)" fixed for commits with no
39 no newline in the message body.
41 * "git remote" fixed to protect printf from user input.
43 * "git remote show -v" now displays all URLs of a remote.
45 * "git checkout -q" once again suppresses the locally modified file list.
47 * "git clone -q", "git fetch -q" asks remote side to not send
48 progress messages, actually making their output quiet.
50 * Cross-directory renames are no longer used when creating packs. This
51 allows more graceful behavior on filesystems like sshfs.
53 * Stale temporary files under $GIT_DIR/objects/pack are now cleaned up
54 automatically by "git prune".
56 * "git merge" once agrain removes directories after the last file has
57 been removed from it during the merge.
59 * "git blame -C -C" no longer segfaults while trying to pass blame if
60 it encounters a submodule reference.
62 * "git svn" fixed to display an error message when 'set-tree' failed,
63 instead of a Perl compile error.
65 * "git submodule" fixed to handle checking out a different commit
66 than HEAD after initializing the submodule.
68 * The "git commit" error message when there are still unmerged
69 files present was clarified to match "git write-tree".
71 * Some segfaults due to uncaught NULL pointers were fixed multiple
72 tools such as apply, reset, update-index.
74 * Solaris bulds now default to OLD_ICONV=1 to avoid compile warnings.
76 * "Git.pm" tests relied on unnecessarily more recent version of Perl.
78 * "gitweb" triggered undef warning on commits without log messages.
80 * "gitweb" triggered undef warnings on missing trees.
82 * "gitweb" now removes PATH_INFO from its URLs so users don't have
83 to manually set the url in the gitweb configuration.
85 * Bash completion removed support for legacy "git-fetch", "git-push"
86 and "git-pull" as these are no longer installed. Dashless form
87 ("git fetch") is still however supported.
89 Many other documentation updates.
