   1GIT v1.6.0.5 Release Notes
   2==========================
   3
   4Fixes since v1.6.0.4
   5--------------------
   6
   7* "git checkout" used to crash when your HEAD was pointing at a deleted
   8  branch.
   9
  10* "git checkout" from an un-checked-out state did not allow switching out
  11  of the current branch.
  12
  13* "git diff" always allowed GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF and --no-ext-diff was no-op for
  14  the command.
  15
  16* Giving 3 or more tree-ish to "git diff" is supposed to show the combined
  17  diff from second and subsequent trees to the first one, but the order was
  18  screwed up.
  19
  20* "git fast-export" did not export all tags.
  21
  22* "git ls-files --with-tree=<tree>" did not work with options other
  23  than -c, most notably with -m.
  24
  25* "git pack-objects" did not make its best effort to honor --max-pack-size
  26  option when a single first object already busted the given limit and
  27  placed many objects in a single pack.
  28
  29* "git-p4" fast import frontend was too eager to trigger its keyword expansion
  30  logic, even on a keyword-looking string that does not have closing '$' on the
  31  same line.
  32
  33* "git push $there" when the remote $there is defined in $GIT_DIR/branches/$there
  34  behaves more like what cg-push from Cogito used to work.
  35
  36* when giving up resolving a conflicted merge, "git reset --hard" failed
  37  to remove new paths from the working tree.
  38
  39* "git tag" did not complain when given mutually incompatible set of options.
  40
  41* The message constructed in the internal editor was discarded when "git
  42  tag -s" failed to sign the message, which was often caused by the user
  43  not configuring GPG correctly.
  44
  45* "make check" cannot be run without sparse; people may have meant to say
  46  "make test" instead, so suggest that.
  47
  48* Internal diff machinery had a corner case performance bug that choked on
  49  a large file with many repeated contents.
  50
  51* "git repack" used to grab objects out of packs marked with .keep
  52  into a new pack.
  53
  54* Many unsafe call to sprintf() style varargs functions are corrected.
  55
  56* Also contains quite a few documentation updates.
