1 GIT v1.5.4.6 Release Notes
2 ==========================
4 I personally do not think there is any reason anybody should want to
5 run v1.5.4.X series these days, because 'master' version is always
6 more stable than any tagged released version of git.
8 This is primarily to futureproof "git-shell" to accept requests
9 without a dash between "git" and subcommand name (e.g. "git
10 upload-pack") which the newer client will start to make sometime in
16 * Command line option "-n" to "git-repack" was not correctly parsed.
18 * Error messages from "git-apply" when the patchfile cannot be opened
21 * Error messages from "git-bisect" when given nonsense revisions have
24 * reflog syntax that uses time e.g. "HEAD@{10 seconds ago}:path" did not
25 stop parsing at the closing "}".
27 * "git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name ^master^2" printed solitary "^",
28 but it should print nothing.
30 * "git apply" did not enforce "match at the beginning" correctly.
32 * a path specification "a/b" in .gitattributes file should not match
33 "sub/a/b", but it did.
35 * "git log --date-order --topo-order" did not override the earlier
36 date-order with topo-order as expected.
38 * "git fast-export" did not export octopus merges correctly.
40 * "git archive --prefix=$path/" mishandled gitattributes.
42 As usual, it also comes with many documentation fixes and clarifications.
