1 Git v1.7.11.5 Release Notes
2 ===========================
7 * The Makefile rule to create assembly output (primarily for
8 debugging purposes) did not create it next to the source.
10 * The code to avoid mistaken attempt to add the object directory
11 itself as its own alternate could read beyond end of a string while
14 * On some architectures, "block-sha1" did not compile correctly
15 when compilers inferred alignment guarantees from our source we
16 did not intend to make.
18 * When talking to a remote running ssh on IPv6 enabled host, whose
19 address is spelled as "[HOST]:PORT", we did not parse the address
20 correctly and failed to connect.
22 * git-blame.el (in compat/) have been updated to use Elisp more
25 * "git checkout <branchname>" to come back from a detached HEAD state
26 incorrectly computed reachability of the detached HEAD, resulting
27 in unnecessary warnings.
29 * "git mergetool" did not support --tool-help option to give the list
30 of supported backends, like "git difftool" does.
32 * "git grep" stopped spawning an external "grep" long time ago, but a
33 duplicated test to check internal and external "grep" was left
36 Also contains minor typofixes and documentation updates.
