1Git v1.6.5.5 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.6.5.4 5-------------------- 6 7 * Manual pages can be formatted with older xmlto again. 8 9 * GREP_OPTIONS exported from user's environment could have broken 10 our scripted commands. 11 12 * In configuration files, a few variables that name paths can begin with 13 ~/ and ~username/ and they are expanded as expected. This is not a 14 bugfix but 1.6.6 will have this and without backporting users cannot 15 easily use the same ~/.gitconfig across versions. 16 17 * "git diff -B -M" did the same computation to hash lines of contents 18 twice, and held onto memory after it has used the data in it 19 unnecessarily before it freed. 20 21 * "git diff -B" and "git diff --dirstat" was not counting newly added 22 contents correctly. 23 24 * "git format-patch revisions... -- path" issued an incorrect error 25 message that suggested to use "--" on the command line when path 26 does not exist in the current work tree (it is a separate matter if 27 it makes sense to limit format-patch with pathspecs like that 28 without using the --full-diff option). 29 30 * "git grep -F -i StRiNg" did not work as expected. 31 32 * Enumeration of available merge strategies iterated over the list of 33 commands in a wrong way, sometimes producing an incorrect result. 34 35 * "git shortlog" did not honor the "encoding" header embedded in the 36 commit object like "git log" did. 37 38 * Reading progress messages that come from the remote side while running 39 "git pull" is given precedence over reading the actual pack data to 40 prevent garbled progress message on the user's terminal. 41 42 * "git rebase" got confused when the log message began with certain 43 strings that looked like Subject:, Date: or From: header. 44 45 * "git reset" accidentally run in .git/ directory checked out the 46 work tree contents in there. 47 48 49Other minor documentation updates are included.
