   1GIT v1.6.2.4 Release Notes
   2==========================
   3
   4Fixes since v1.6.2.3
   5--------------------
   6
   7* The configuration parser had a buffer overflow while parsing an overlong
   8  value.
   9
  10* pruning reflog entries that are unreachable from the tip of the ref
  11  during "git reflog prune" (hence "git gc") was very inefficient.
  12
  13* "git-add -p" lacked a way to say "q"uit to refuse staging any hunks for
  14  the remaining paths.  You had to say "d" and then ^C.
  15
  16* "git-checkout <tree-ish> <submodule>" did not update the index entry at
  17  the named path; it now does.
  18
  19* "git-fast-export" choked when seeing a tag that does not point at commit.
  20
  21* "git init" segfaulted when given an overlong template location via
  22  the --template= option.
  23
  24* "git-ls-tree" and "git-diff-tree" used a pathspec correctly when
  25  deciding to descend into a subdirectory but they did not match the
  26  individual paths correctly.  This caused pathspecs "abc/d ab" to match
  27  "abc/0" ("abc/d" made them decide to descend into the directory "abc/",
  28  and then "ab" incorrectly matched "abc/0" when it shouldn't).
  29
  30* "git-merge-recursive" was broken when a submodule entry was involved in
  31  a criss-cross merge situation.
  32
  33Many small documentation updates are included as well.
