1Git v1.6.5.3 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.6.5.2 5-------------------- 6 7 * info/grafts file didn't ignore trailing CR at the end of lines. 8 9 * Packages generated on newer FC were unreadable by older versions of 10 RPM as the new default is to use stronger hash. 11 12 * output from "git blame" was unreadable when the file ended in an 13 incomplete line. 14 15 * "git add -i/-p" didn't handle deletion of empty files correctly. 16 17 * "git clone" takes up to two parameters, but did not complain when 18 given more arguments than necessary and silently ignored them. 19 20 * "git cvsimport" did not read files given as command line arguments 21 correctly when it is run from a subdirectory. 22 23 * "git diff --color-words -U0" didn't work correctly. 24 25 * The handling of blank lines at the end of file by "git diff/apply 26 --whitespace" was inconsistent with the other kinds of errors. 27 They are now colored, warned against, and fixed the same way as others. 28 29 * There was no way to allow blank lines at the end of file without 30 allowing extra blanks at the end of lines. You can use blank-at-eof 31 and blank-at-eol whitespace error class to specify them separately. 32 The old trailing-space error class is now a short-hand to set both. 33 34 * "-p" option to "git format-patch" was supposed to suppress diffstat 35 generation, but it was broken since 1.6.1. 36 37 * "git imap-send" did not compile cleanly with newer OpenSSL. 38 39 * "git help -a" outside of a git repository was broken. 40 41 * "git ls-files -i" was supposed to be inverse of "git ls-files" without -i 42 with respect to exclude patterns, but it was broken since 1.6.5.2. 43 44 * "git ls-remote" outside of a git repository over http was broken. 45 46 * "git rebase -i" gave bogus error message when the command word was 47 misspelled. 48 49 * "git receive-pack" that is run in response to "git push" did not run 50 garbage collection nor update-server-info, but in larger hosting sites, 51 these almost always need to be run. To help site administrators, the 52 command now runs "gc --auto" and "u-s-i" by setting receive.autogc 53 and receive.updateserverinfo configuration variables, respectively. 54 55 * Release notes spelled the package name with incorrect capitalization. 56 57 * "gitweb" did not escape non-ascii characters correctly in the URL. 58 59 * "gitweb" showed "patch" link even for merge commits. 60 61 * "gitweb" showed incorrect links for blob line numbers in pathinfo mode. 62 63Other minor documentation updates are included.
