1GIT v1.5.4.4 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.5.4.3 5-------------------- 6 7 * Building and installing with an overtight umask such as 077 made 8 installed templates unreadable by others, while the rest of the install 9 are done in a way that is friendly to umask 022. 10 11 * "git cvsexportcommit -w $cvsdir" misbehaved when GIT_DIR is set to a 12 relative directory. 13 14 * "git http-push" had an invalid memory access that could lead it to 15 segfault. 16 17 * When "git rebase -i" gave control back to the user for a commit that is 18 marked to be edited, it just said "modify it with commit --amend", 19 without saying what to do to continue after modifying it. Give an 20 explicit instruction to run "rebase --continue" to be more helpful. 21 22 * "git send-email" in 1.5.4.3 issued a bogus empty In-Reply-To: header. 23 24 * "git bisect" showed mysterious "won't bisect on seeked tree" error message. 25 This was leftover from Cogito days to prevent "bisect" starting from a 26 cg-seeked state. We still keep the Cogito safety, but running "git bisect 27 start" when another bisect was in effect will clean up and start over. 28 29 * "git push" with an explicit PATH to receive-pack did not quite work if 30 receive-pack was not on usual PATH. We earlier fixed the same issue 31 with "git fetch" and upload-pack, but somehow forgot to do so in the 32 other direction. 33 34 * git-gui's info dialog was not displayed correctly when the user tries 35 to commit nothing (i.e. without staging anything). 36 37 * "git revert" did not properly fail when attempting to run with a 38 dirty index. 39 40 * "git merge --no-commit --no-ff <other>" incorrectly made commits. 41 42 * "git merge --squash --no-ff <other>", which is a nonsense combination 43 of options, was not rejected. 44 45 * "git ls-remote" and "git remote show" against an empty repository 46 failed, instead of just giving an empty result (regression). 47 48 * "git fast-import" did not handle a renamed path whose name needs to be 49 quoted, due to a bug in unquote_c_style() function. 50 51 * "git cvsexportcommit" was confused when multiple files with the same 52 basename needed to be pushed out in the same commit. 53 54 * "git daemon" did not send early errors to syslog. 55 56 * "git log --merge" did not work well with --left-right option. 57 58 * "git svn" prompted for client cert password every time it accessed the 59 server. 60 61 * The reset command in "git fast-import" data stream was documented to 62 end with an optional LF, but it actually required one. 63 64 * "git svn dcommit/rebase" did not honor --rewrite-root option. 65 66Also included are a handful documentation updates.
