1GIT v1.6.4.4 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.6.4.4 5-------------------- 6 7* The workaround for Github server that sometimes gave 500 (Internal server 8 error) response to HEAD requests in 1.6.4.3 introduced a regression that 9 caused re-fetching projects over http to segfault in certain cases due 10 to uninitialized pointer being freed. 11 12* "git pull" on an unborn branch used to consider anything in the work 13 tree and the index discardable. 14 15* "git diff -b/w" did not work well on the incomplete line at the end of 16 the file, due to an incorrect hashing of lines in the low-level xdiff 17 routines. 18 19* "git checkout-index --prefix=$somewhere" used to work when $somewhere is 20 a symbolic link to a directory elsewhere, but v1.6.4.2 broke it. 21 22* "git unpack-objects --strict", invoked when receive.fsckobjects 23 configuration is set in the receiving repository of "git push", did not 24 properly check the objects, especially the submodule links, it received. 25 26Other minor documentation updates are included.
