1GIT v1.6.3.2 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.6.3.1 5-------------------- 6 7 * A few codepaths picked up the first few bytes from an sha1[] by 8 casting the (char *) pointer to (int *); GCC 4.4 did not like this, 9 and aborted compilation. 10 11 * http-push had a small use-after-free bug. 12 13 * command completion code in bash did not reliably detect that we are 14 in a bare repository. 15 16 * "git for-each-ref" had a segfaulting bug when dealing with a tag object 17 created by an ancient git. 18 19 * Some unlink(2) failures went undiagnosed. 20 21 * The "recursive" merge strategy misbehaved when faced rename/delete 22 conflicts while coming up with an intermediate merge base. 23 24 * GIT_TRACE mechanism segfaulted when tracing a shell-quoted aliases. 25 26 * "git add ." in an empty directory complained that pathspec "." did not 27 match anything, which may be technically correct, but not useful. We 28 silently make it a no-op now. 29 30 * "git format-patch -k" still added patch numbers if format.numbered 31 configuration was set. 32 33 * OpenBSD also uses st_ctimspec in "struct stat", instead of "st_ctim". 34 35 * With NO_CROSS_DIRECTORY_HARDLINKS, "make install" can be told not to 36 create hardlinks between $(gitexecdir)/git-$builtin_commands and 37 $(bindir)/git. 38 39 * "git push" was converting OFS_DELTA pack representation into less 40 efficient REF_DELTA representation unconditionally upon transfer, 41 making the transferred data unnecessarily larger. 42 43Many other general usability updates around help text, diagnostic messages 44and documentation are included as well. 45 46--- 47exec >/var/tmp/1 48O=v1.6.3.1-51-g2a1feb9 49echo O=$(git describe maint) 50git shortlog --no-merges $O..maint 51
