1 GIT v1.6.0.5 Release Notes
2 ==========================
7 * "git checkout" used to crash when your HEAD was pointing at a deleted
10 * "git checkout" from an un-checked-out state did not allow switching out
11 of the current branch.
13 * "git diff" always allowed GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF and --no-ext-diff was no-op for

20 * "git fast-export" did not export all tags.
22 * "git ls-files --with-tree=<tree>" did not work with options other
23 than -c, most notably with -m.
25 * "git pack-objects" did not make its best effort to honor --max-pack-size
26 option when a single first object already busted the given limit and

37 to remove new paths from the working tree.
39 * "git tag" did not complain when given mutually incompatible set of options.
41 * The message constructed in the internal editor was discarded when "git
42 tag -s" failed to sign the message, which was often caused by the user
43 not configuring GPG correctly.
45 * "make check" cannot be run without sparse; people may have meant to say
46 "make test" instead, so suggest that.
48 * Internal diff machinery had a corner case performance bug that choked on
49 a large file with many repeated contents.
51 * "git repack" used to grab objects out of packs marked with .keep
54 * Many unsafe call to sprintf() style varargs functions are corrected.
56 * Also contains quite a few documentation updates.
