1Git v1.7.11.5 Release Notes 2=========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.7.11.4 5--------------------- 6 7 * The Makefile rule to create assembly output (primarily for 8 debugging purposes) did not create it next to the source. 9 10 * The code to avoid mistaken attempt to add the object directory 11 itself as its own alternate could read beyond end of a string while 12 comparison. 13 14 * On some architectures, "block-sha1" did not compile correctly 15 when compilers inferred alignment guarantees from our source we 16 did not intend to make. 17 18 * When talking to a remote running ssh on IPv6 enabled host, whose 19 address is spelled as "[HOST]:PORT", we did not parse the address 20 correctly and failed to connect. 21 22 * git-blame.el (in compat/) have been updated to use Elisp more 23 correctly. 24 25 * "git checkout <branchname>" to come back from a detached HEAD state 26 incorrectly computed reachability of the detached HEAD, resulting 27 in unnecessary warnings. 28 29 * "git mergetool" did not support --tool-help option to give the list 30 of supported backends, like "git difftool" does. 31 32 * "git grep" stopped spawning an external "grep" long time ago, but a 33 duplicated test to check internal and external "grep" was left 34 behind. 35 36Also contains minor typofixes and documentation updates.
