1GIT v1.6.1.1 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.6.1 5------------------ 6 7* "git add frotz/nitfol" when "frotz" is a submodule should have errored 8 out, but it didn't. 9 10* "git apply" took file modes from the patch text and updated the mode 11 bits of the target tree even when the patch was not about mode changes. 12 13* "git bisect view" on Cygwin did not launch gitk 14 15* "git checkout $tree" did not trigger an error. 16 17* "git commit" tried to remove COMMIT_EDITMSG from the work tree by mistake. 18 19* "git describe --all" complained when a commit is described with a tag, 20 which was nonsense. 21 22* "git diff --no-index --" did not trigger no-index (aka "use git-diff as 23 a replacement of diff on untracked files") behaviour. 24 25* "git format-patch -1 HEAD" on a root commit failed to produce patch 26 text. 27 28* "git fsck branch" did not work as advertised; instead it behaved the same 29 way as "git fsck". 30 31* "git log --pretty=format:%s" did not handle a multi-line subject the 32 same way as built-in log listers (i.e. shortlog, --pretty=oneline, etc.) 33 34* "git daemon", and "git merge-file" are more careful when freopen fails 35 and barf, instead of going on and writing to unopened filehandle. 36 37* "git http-push" did not like some RFC 4918 compliant DAV server 38 responses. 39 40* "git merge -s recursive" mistakenly overwritten an untracked file in the 41 work tree upon delete/modify conflict. 42 43* "git merge -s recursive" didn't leave the index unmerged for entries with 44 rename/delete conflictd. 45 46* "git merge -s recursive" clobbered untracked files in the work tree. 47 48* "git mv -k" with more than one errorneous paths misbehaved. 49 50* "git read-tree -m -u" hence branch switching incorrectly lost a 51 subdirectory in rare cases. 52 53* "git rebase -i" issued an unnecessary error message upon a user error of 54 marking the first commit to be "squash"ed. 55 56* "git shortlog" did not format a commit message with multi-line 57 subject correctly. 58 59Many documentation updates.
