1 GIT v1.5.4.5 Release Notes
2 ==========================
4 Fixes since v1.5.4.4
5 --------------------
7 * You couldn't specify a custom editor whose path contains a whitespace
8 via GIT_EDITOR (and core.editor).
10 * The subdirectory filter to "git filter-branch" mishandled a history
11 where the subdirectory becomes empty and then later becomes non-empty.
13 * "git shortlog" gave an empty line if the original commit message was
14 malformed (e.g. a botched import from foreign SCM). Now it finds the
15 first non-empty line and uses it for better information.
17 * When the user fails to give a revision parameter to "git svn", an error
18 from the Perl interpreter was issued because the script lacked proper
19 error checking.
21 * After "git rebase" stopped due to conflicts, if the user played with
22 "git reset" and friends, "git rebase --abort" failed to go back to the
23 correct commit.
25 * Additional work trees prepared with git-new-workdir (in contrib/) did
26 not share git-svn metadata directory .git/svn with the original.
28 * "git-merge-recursive" did not mark addition of the same path with
29 different filemodes correctly as a conflict.
31 * "gitweb" gave malformed URL when pathinfo stype paths are in use.
33 * "-n" stands for "--no-tags" again for "git fetch".
35 * "git format-patch" did not detect the need to add 8-bit MIME header
36 when the user used format.header configuration.
38 * "rev~" revision specifier used to mean "rev", which was inconsistent
39 with how "rev^" worked. Now "rev~" is the same as "rev~1" (hence it
40 also is the same as "rev^1"), and "rev~0" is the same as "rev^0"
41 (i.e. it has to be a commit).
43 * "git quiltimport" did not grok empty lines, lines in "file -pNNN"
44 format to specify the prefix levels and lines with trailing comments.
46 * "git rebase -m" triggered pre-commit verification, which made
47 "rebase --continue" impossible.
