1 Git v1.6.5.4 Release Notes
2 ==========================
4 Fixes since v1.6.5.3
5 --------------------
7 * "git help" (without argument) used to check if you are in a directory
8 under git control. There was no breakage in behaviour per-se, but this
9 was unnecessary.
11 * "git prune-packed" gave progress output even when its standard error is
12 not connected to a terminal; this caused cron jobs that run it to
13 produce crufts.
15 * "git pack-objects --all-progress" is an option to ask progress output
16 from write-object phase _if_ progress output were to be produced, and
17 shouldn't have forced the progress output.
19 * "git apply -p<n> --directory=<elsewhere>" did not work well for a
20 non-default value of n.
22 * "git merge foo HEAD" was misparsed as an old-style invocation of the
23 command and produced a confusing error message. As it does not specify
24 any other branch to merge, it shouldn't be mistaken as such. We will
25 remove the old style "git merge <message> HEAD <commit>..." syntax in
26 future versions, but not in this release,
28 * "git merge -m <message> <branch>..." added the standard merge message
29 on its own after user-supplied message, which should have overrided the
30 standard one.
32 Other minor documentation updates are included.
