1Git v1.7.6.1 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.7.6 5------------------ 6 7 * Various codepaths that invoked zlib deflate/inflate assumed that these 8 functions can compress or uncompress more than 4GB data in one call on 9 platforms with 64-bit long, which has been corrected. 10 11 * "git unexecutable" reported that "unexecutable" was not found, even 12 though the actual error was that "unexecutable" was found but did 13 not have a proper she-bang line to be executed. 14 15 * Error exits from $PAGER were silently ignored. 16 17 * "git checkout -b <branch>" was confused when attempting to create a 18 branch whose name ends with "-g" followed by hexadecimal digits, 19 and refused to work. 20 21 * "git checkout -b <branch>" sometimes wrote a bogus reflog entry, 22 causing later "git checkout -" to fail. 23 24 * "git diff --cc" learned to correctly ignore binary files. 25 26 * "git diff -c/--cc" mishandled a deletion that resolves a conflict, and 27 looked in the working tree instead. 28 29 * "git fast-export" forgot to quote pathnames with unsafe characters 30 in its output. 31 32 * "git fetch" over smart-http transport used to abort when the 33 repository was updated between the initial connection and the 34 subsequent object transfer. 35 36 * "git fetch" did not recurse into submodules in subdirectories. 37 38 * "git ls-tree" did not error out when asked to show a corrupt tree. 39 40 * "git pull" without any argument left an extra whitespace after the 41 command name in its reflog. 42 43 * "git push --quiet" was not really quiet. 44 45 * "git rebase -i -p" incorrectly dropped commits from side branches. 46 47 * "git reset [<commit>] paths..." did not reset the index entry correctly 48 for unmerged paths. 49 50 * "git submodule add" did not allow a relative repository path when 51 the superproject did not have any default remote url. 52 53 * "git submodule foreach" failed to correctly give the standard input to 54 the user-supplied command it invoked. 55 56 * submodules that the user has never showed interest in by running 57 "git submodule init" was incorrectly marked as interesting by "git 58 submodule sync". 59 60 * "git submodule update --quiet" was not really quiet. 61 62 * "git tag -l <glob>..." did not take multiple glob patterns from the 63 command line.
