1 GIT v1.5.3.5 Release Notes
2 ==========================
7 * "git-config" silently ignored options after --list; now it will
8 error out with a usage message.
10 * "git-config --file" failed if the argument used a relative path
11 as it changed directories before opening the file.
13 * "git-config --file" now displays a proper error message if it
14 cannot read the file specified on the command line.
16 * "git-config", "git-diff", "git-apply" failed if run from a
17 subdirectory with relative GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE set.
19 * "git-blame" crashed if run during a merge conflict.
21 * "git-add -i" did not handle single line hunks correctly.
23 * "git-rebase -i" and "git-stash apply" failed if external diff
24 drivers were used for one or more files in a commit. They now
25 avoid calling the external diff drivers.
27 * "git-log --follow" did not work unless diff generation (e.g. -p)
30 * "git-log" printed extra newlines between commits when a diff
31 was generated internally (e.g. -S or --follow) but not displayed.
33 * "git-push" error message is more helpful when pushing to a
34 repository with no matching refs and none specified.
36 * "git-filter-branch" now updates the working directory when it
37 has finished filtering the current branch.
39 * "git-instaweb" no longer fails on Mac OS X.
41 * "git-cvsexportcommit" didn't always create new parent directories
42 before trying to create new child directories. Fixed.
44 * "git-fetch" printed a scary (but bogus) error message while
45 fetching a tag that pointed to a tree or blob. The error did
46 not impact correctness, only user perception. The bogus error
49 * Git segfaulted when reading an invalid .gitattributes file. Fixed.
51 * post-receive-email example hook fixed was fixed for
52 non-fast-forward updates.
54 * Documentation updates for supported (but previously undocumented)
55 options of "git-archive" and "git-reflog".
57 * "make clean" no longer deletes the configure script that ships
58 with the git tarball, making multiple architecture builds easier.
