1GIT v1.5.4.5 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.5.4.4 5-------------------- 6 7 * "git fetch there" when the URL information came from the Cogito style 8 branches/there file did not update refs/heads/there (regression in 9 1.5.4). 10 11 * Bogus refspec configuration such as "remote.there.fetch = =" were not 12 detected as errors (regression in 1.5.4). 13 14 * You couldn't specify a custom editor whose path contains a whitespace 15 via GIT_EDITOR (and core.editor). 16 17 * The subdirectory filter to "git filter-branch" mishandled a history 18 where the subdirectory becomes empty and then later becomes non-empty. 19 20 * "git shortlog" gave an empty line if the original commit message was 21 malformed (e.g. a botched import from foreign SCM). Now it finds the 22 first non-empty line and uses it for better information. 23 24 * When the user fails to give a revision parameter to "git svn", an error 25 from the Perl interpreter was issued because the script lacked proper 26 error checking. 27 28 * After "git rebase" stopped due to conflicts, if the user played with 29 "git reset" and friends, "git rebase --abort" failed to go back to the 30 correct commit. 31 32 * Additional work trees prepared with git-new-workdir (in contrib/) did 33 not share git-svn metadata directory .git/svn with the original. 34 35 * "git-merge-recursive" did not mark addition of the same path with 36 different filemodes correctly as a conflict. 37 38 * "gitweb" gave malformed URL when pathinfo stype paths are in use. 39 40 * "-n" stands for "--no-tags" again for "git fetch". 41 42 * "git format-patch" did not detect the need to add 8-bit MIME header 43 when the user used format.header configuration. 44 45 * "rev~" revision specifier used to mean "rev", which was inconsistent 46 with how "rev^" worked. Now "rev~" is the same as "rev~1" (hence it 47 also is the same as "rev^1"), and "rev~0" is the same as "rev^0" 48 (i.e. it has to be a commit). 49 50 * "git quiltimport" did not grok empty lines, lines in "file -pNNN" 51 format to specify the prefix levels and lines with trailing comments. 52 53 * "git rebase -m" triggered pre-commit verification, which made 54 "rebase --continue" impossible. 55 56As usual, it also comes with many documentation fixes and clarifications.
