2==========================
34
Fixes since v1.6.0.4
5--------------------
67
* "git checkout" used to crash when your HEAD was pointing at a deleted
8branch.
910
* "git checkout" from an un-checked-out state did not allow switching out
11of the current branch.
1213
* "git diff" always allowed GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF and --no-ext-diff was no-op for
14the command.
1516
* Giving 3 or more tree-ish to "git diff" is supposed to show the combined
17diff from second and subsequent trees to the first one, but the order was
18screwed up.
1920
* "git fast-export" did not export all tags.
2122
* "git ls-files --with-tree=<tree>" did not work with options other
23than -c, most notably with -m.
2425
* "git pack-objects" did not make its best effort to honor --max-pack-size
26option when a single first object already busted the given limit and
27placed many objects in a single pack.
2829
* "git-p4" fast import frontend was too eager to trigger its keyword expansion
30logic, even on a keyword-looking string that does not have closing '$' on the
31same line.
3233
* "git push $there" when the remote $there is defined in $GIT_DIR/branches/$there
34behaves more like what cg-push from Cogito used to work.
3536
* when giving up resolving a conflicted merge, "git reset --hard" failed
37to remove new paths from the working tree.
3839
* "git tag" did not complain when given mutually incompatible set of options.
4041
* The message constructed in the internal editor was discarded when "git
42tag -s" failed to sign the message, which was often caused by the user
43not configuring GPG correctly.
4445
* "make check" cannot be run without sparse; people may have meant to say
46"make test" instead, so suggest that.
4748
* Internal diff machinery had a corner case performance bug that choked on
49a large file with many repeated contents.
5051
* "git repack" used to grab objects out of packs marked with .keep
52into a new pack.
5354
* Many unsafe call to sprintf() style varargs functions are corrected.
5556
* Also contains quite a few documentation updates.
