1 GIT v1.6.3.2 Release Notes
2 ==========================
7 * A few codepaths picked up the first few bytes from an sha1[] by
8 casting the (char *) pointer to (int *); GCC 4.4 did not like this,
9 and aborted compilation.
11 * http-push had a small use-after-free bug.
13 * command completion code in bash did not reliably detect that we are
16 * "git for-each-ref" had a segfaulting bug when dealing with a tag object
17 created by an ancient git.
19 * Some unlink(2) failures went undiagnosed.
21 * The "recursive" merge strategy misbehaved when faced rename/delete
22 conflicts while coming up with an intermediate merge base.
24 * GIT_TRACE mechanism segfaulted when tracing a shell-quoted aliases.
26 * "git add ." in an empty directory complained that pathspec "." did not
27 match anything, which may be technically correct, but not useful. We
28 silently make it a no-op now.
30 * "git format-patch -k" still added patch numbers if format.numbered
31 configuration was set.
33 * OpenBSD also uses st_ctimspec in "struct stat", instead of "st_ctim".
35 * With NO_CROSS_DIRECTORY_HARDLINKS, "make install" can be told not to
36 create hardlinks between $(gitexecdir)/git-$builtin_commands and
39 * "git push" was converting OFS_DELTA pack representation into less
40 efficient REF_DELTA representation unconditionally upon transfer,
41 making the transferred data unnecessarily larger.
43 Many other general usability updates around help text, diagnostic messages
44 and documentation are included as well.
