   1Git v1.6.5.3 Release Notes
   2==========================
   3
   4Fixes since v1.6.5.2
   5--------------------
   6
   7 * info/grafts file didn't ignore trailing CR at the end of lines.
   8
   9 * Packages generated on newer FC were unreadable by older versions of
  10   RPM as the new default is to use stronger hash.
  11
  12 * output from "git blame" was unreadable when the file ended in an
  13   incomplete line.
  14
  15 * "git add -i/-p" didn't handle deletion of empty files correctly.
  16
  17 * "git clone" takes up to two parameters, but did not complain when
  18   given more arguments than necessary and silently ignored them.
  19
  20 * "git cvsimport" did not read files given as command line arguments
  21   correctly when it is run from a subdirectory.
  22
  23 * "git diff --color-words -U0" didn't work correctly.
  24
  25 * The handling of blank lines at the end of file by "git diff/apply
  26   --whitespace" was inconsistent with the other kinds of errors.
  27   They are now colored, warned against, and fixed the same way as others.
  28
  29 * There was no way to allow blank lines at the end of file without
  30   allowing extra blanks at the end of lines.  You can use blank-at-eof
  31   and blank-at-eol whitespace error class to specify them separately.
  32   The old trailing-space error class is now a short-hand to set both.
  33
  34 * "-p" option to "git format-patch" was supposed to suppress diffstat
  35   generation, but it was broken since 1.6.1.
  36
  37 * "git imap-send" did not compile cleanly with newer OpenSSL.
  38
  39 * "git help -a" outside of a git repository was broken.
  40
  41 * "git ls-files -i" was supposed to be inverse of "git ls-files" without -i
  42   with respect to exclude patterns, but it was broken since 1.6.5.2.
  43
  44 * "git ls-remote" outside of a git repository over http was broken.
  45
  46 * "git rebase -i" gave bogus error message when the command word was
  47   misspelled.
  48
  49 * "git receive-pack" that is run in response to "git push" did not run
  50   garbage collection nor update-server-info, but in larger hosting sites,
  51   these almost always need to be run.  To help site administrators, the
  52   command now runs "gc --auto" and "u-s-i" by setting receive.autogc
  53   and receive.updateserverinfo configuration variables, respectively.
  54
  55 * Release notes spelled the package name with incorrect capitalization.
  56
  57 * "gitweb" did not escape non-ascii characters correctly in the URL.
  58
  59 * "gitweb" showed "patch" link even for merge commits.
  60
  61 * "gitweb" showed incorrect links for blob line numbers in pathinfo mode.
  62
  63Other minor documentation updates are included.
