1 GIT v1.6.0.2 Release Notes
2 ==========================
4 Fixes since v1.6.0.1
5 --------------------
7 * Installation on platforms that needs .exe suffix to git-* programs were
8 broken in 1.6.0.1.
10 * Installation on filesystems without symbolic links support did nto
11 work well.
13 * In-tree documentations and test scripts now use "git foo" form to set a
14 better example, instead of the "git-foo" form (which is an acceptable
15 form if you have "PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH" in your script)
17 * Many commands did not use the correct working tree location when used
18 with GIT_WORK_TREE environment settings.
20 * Some systems needs to use compatibility fnmach and regex libraries
21 independent from each other; the compat/ area has been reorganized to
22 allow this.
25 * "git apply --unidiff-zero" incorrectly applied a -U0 patch that inserts
26 a new line before the second line.
28 * "git blame -c" did not exactly work like "git annotate" when range
29 boundaries are involved.
31 * "git checkout file" when file is still unmerged checked out contents from
32 a random high order stage, which was confusing.
34 * "git clone $there $here/" with extra trailing slashes after explicit
35 local directory name $here did not work as expected.
37 * "git diff" on tracked contents with CRLF line endings did not drive "less"
38 intelligently when showing added or removed lines.
40 * "git diff --dirstat -M" did not add changes in subdirectories up
41 correctly for renamed paths.
43 * "git diff --cumulative" did not imply "--dirstat".
45 * "git for-each-ref refs/heads/" did not work as expected.
47 * "git gui" allowed users to feed patch without any context to be applied.
49 * "git gui" botched parsing "diff" output when a line that begins with two
50 dashes and a space gets removed or a line that begins with two pluses
51 and a space gets added.
53 * "git gui" translation updates and i18n fixes.
55 * "git index-pack" is more careful against disk corruption while completing
56 a thin pack.
58 * "git log -i --grep=pattern" did not ignore case; neither "git log -E
59 --grep=pattern" triggered extended regexp.
61 * "git log --pretty="%ad" --date=short" did not use short format when
62 showing the timestamp.
64 * "git log --author=author" match incorrectly matched with the
65 timestamp part of "author " line in commit objects.
67 * "git log -F --author=author" did not work at all.
69 * Build procedure for "git shell" that used stub versions of some
70 functions and globals was not understood by linkers on some platforms.
72 * "git stash" was fooled by a stat-dirty but otherwise unmodified paths
73 and refused to work until the user refreshed the index.
75 * "git svn" was broken on Perl before 5.8 with recent fixes to reduce
76 use of temporary files.
78 * "git verify-pack -v" did not work correctly when given more than one
79 packfile.
81 Also contains many documentation updates.
