1GIT v1.5.3.5 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.5.3.4 5-------------------- 6 7 * Comes with git-gui 0.8.4. 8 9 * "git-config" silently ignored options after --list; now it will 10 error out with a usage message. 11 12 * "git-config --file" failed if the argument used a relative path 13 as it changed directories before opening the file. 14 15 * "git-config --file" now displays a proper error message if it 16 cannot read the file specified on the command line. 17 18 * "git-config", "git-diff", "git-apply" failed if run from a 19 subdirectory with relative GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE set. 20 21 * "git-blame" crashed if run during a merge conflict. 22 23 * "git-add -i" did not handle single line hunks correctly. 24 25 * "git-rebase -i" and "git-stash apply" failed if external diff 26 drivers were used for one or more files in a commit. They now 27 avoid calling the external diff drivers. 28 29 * "git-log --follow" did not work unless diff generation (e.g. -p) 30 was also requested. 31 32 * "git-log --follow -B" did not work at all. Fixed. 33 34 * "git-log -M -B" did not correctly handle cases of very large files 35 being renamed and replaced by very small files in the same commit. 36 37 * "git-log" printed extra newlines between commits when a diff 38 was generated internally (e.g. -S or --follow) but not displayed. 39 40 * "git-push" error message is more helpful when pushing to a 41 repository with no matching refs and none specified. 42 43 * "git-push" now respects + (force push) on wildcard refspecs, 44 matching the behavior of git-fetch. 45 46 * "git-filter-branch" now updates the working directory when it 47 has finished filtering the current branch. 48 49 * "git-instaweb" no longer fails on Mac OS X. 50 51 * "git-cvsexportcommit" didn't always create new parent directories 52 before trying to create new child directories. Fixed. 53 54 * "git-fetch" printed a scary (but bogus) error message while 55 fetching a tag that pointed to a tree or blob. The error did 56 not impact correctness, only user perception. The bogus error 57 is no longer printed. 58 59 * "git-ls-files --ignored" did not properly descend into non-ignored 60 directories that themselves contained ignored files if d_type 61 was not supported by the filesystem. This bug impacted systems 62 such as AFS. Fixed. 63 64 * Git segfaulted when reading an invalid .gitattributes file. Fixed. 65 66 * post-receive-email example hook was fixed for non-fast-forward 67 updates. 68 69 * Documentation updates for supported (but previously undocumented) 70 options of "git-archive" and "git-reflog". 71 72 * "make clean" no longer deletes the configure script that ships 73 with the git tarball, making multiple architecture builds easier. 74 75 * "git-remote show origin" spewed a warning message from Perl 76 when no remote is defined for the current branch via 77 branch.<name>.remote configuration settings. 78 79 * Building with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER excessively rebuilt contents 80 of perl/ subdirectory by rewriting perl.mak. 81 82 * http.sslVerify configuration settings were not used in scripted 83 Porcelains. 84 85 * "git-add" leaked a bit of memory while scanning for files to add. 86 87 * A few workarounds to squelch false warnings from recent gcc have 88 been added. 89 90 * "git-send-pack $remote frotz" segfaulted when there is nothing 91 named 'frotz' on the local end. 92 93 * "git-rebase --interactive" did not handle its "--strategy" option 94 properly.
