   1GIT v1.6.2.2 Release Notes
   2==========================
   3
   4Fixes since v1.6.2.1
   5--------------------
   6
   7* A longstanding confusing description of what --pickaxe option of
   8  git-diff does has been clarified in the documentation.
   9
  10* "git-blame -S" did not quite work near the commits that were given
  11  on the command line correctly.
  12
  13* "git diff --pickaxe-regexp" did not count overlapping matches
  14  correctly.
  15
  16* "git diff" did not feed files in work-tree representation to external
  17  diff and textconv.
  18
  19* "git-fetch" in a repository that was not cloned from anywhere said
  20  it cannot find 'origin', which was hard to understand for new people.
  21
  22* "git-format-patch --numbered-files --stdout" did not have to die of
  23  incompatible options; it now simply ignores --numbered-files as no files
  24  are produced anyway.
  25
  26* "git-ls-files --deleted" did not work well with GIT_DIR&GIT_WORK_TREE.
  27
  28* "git-read-tree A B C..." without -m option has been broken for a long
  29  time.
  30
  31* git-send-email ignored --in-reply-to when --no-thread was given.
  32
  33* 'git-submodule add' did not tolerate extra slashes and ./ in the path it
  34  accepted from the command line; it now is more lenient.
  35
  36* git-svn misbehaved when the project contained a path that began with
  37  two dashes.
  38
  39* import-zips script (in contrib) did not compute the common directory
  40  prefix correctly.
  41
  42* miscompilation of negated enum constants by old gcc (2.9) affected the
  43  codepaths to spawn subprocesses.
  44
  45Many small documentation updates are included as well.
