1GIT v1.6.1.2 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.6.1.1 5-------------------- 6 7* The logic for rename detection in internal diff used by commands like 8 "git diff" and "git blame" has been optimized to avoid loading the same 9 blob repeatedly. 10 11* We did not allow writing out a blob that is larger than 2GB for no good 12 reason. 13 14* "git format-patch -o $dir", when $dir is a relative directory, used it 15 as relative to the root of the work tree, not relative to the current 16 directory. 17 18* v1.6.1 introduced an optimization for "git push" into a repository (A) 19 that borrows its objects from another repository (B) to avoid sending 20 objects that are available in repository B, when they are not yet used 21 by repository A. However the code on the "git push" sender side was 22 buggy and did not work when repository B had new objects that are not 23 known by the sender. This caused pushing into a "forked" repository 24 served by v1.6.1 software using "git push" from v1.6.1 sometimes did not 25 work. The bug was purely on the "git push" sender side, and has been 26 corrected. 27 28* "git status -v" did not paint its diff output in colour even when 29 color.ui configuration was set. 30 31* "git ls-tree" learned --full-tree option to help Porcelain scripts that 32 want to always see the full path regardless of the current working 33 directory. 34 35* "git grep" incorrectly searched in work tree paths even when they are 36 marked as assume-unchanged. It now searches in the index entries. 37 38* "git gc" with no grace period needlessly ejected packed but unreachable 39 objects in their loose form, only to delete them right away.
