1 GIT v1.5.4.4 Release Notes
2 ==========================
7 * Building and installing with an overtight umask such as 077 made
8 installed templates unreadable by others, while the rest of the install
9 are done in a way that is friendly to umask 022.
11 * "git cvsexportcommit -w $cvsdir" misbehaved when GIT_DIR is set to a
14 * "git http-push" had an invalid memory access that could lead it to
17 * When "git rebase -i" gave control back to the user for a commit that is
18 marked to be edited, it just said "modify it with commit --amend",
19 without saying what to do to continue after modifying it. Give an
20 explicit instruction to run "rebase --continue" to be more helpful.
22 * "git send-email" in 1.5.4.3 issued a bogus empty In-Reply-To: header.
24 * "git bisect" showed mysterious "won't bisect on seeked tree" error message.
25 This was leftover from Cogito days to prevent "bisect" starting from a
26 cg-seeked state. We still keep the Cogito safety, but running "git bisect
27 start" when another bisect was in effect will clean up and start over.
29 * "git push" with an explicit PATH to receive-pack did not quite work if
30 receive-pack was not on usual PATH. We earlier fixed the same issue
31 with "git fetch" and upload-pack, but somehow forgot to do so in the
34 * git-gui's info dialog was not displayed correctly when the user tries
35 to commit nothing (i.e. without staging anything).
37 * "git revert" did not properly fail when attempting to run with a
40 * "git merge --no-commit --no-ff <other>" incorrectly made commits.
42 * "git merge --squash --no-ff <other>", which is a nonsense combination
43 of options, was not rejected.
45 * "git ls-remote" and "git remote show" against an empty repository
46 failed, instead of just giving an empty result (regression).
48 * "git fast-import" did not handle a renamed path whose name needs to be
49 quoted, due to a bug in unquote_c_style() function.
51 * "git cvsexportcommit" was confused when multiple files with the same
52 basename needed to be pushed out in the same commit.
54 * "git daemon" did not send early errors to syslog.
56 * "git log --merge" did not work well with --left-right option.
58 * "git svn" prompted for client cert password every time it accessed the
61 * The reset command in "git fast-import" data stream was documented to
62 end with an optional LF, but it actually required one.
64 * "git svn dcommit/rebase" did not honor --rewrite-root option.
66 Also included are a handful documentation updates.
