   1GIT v1.5.4.6 Release Notes
   2==========================
   3
   4I personally do not think there is any reason anybody should want to
   5run v1.5.4.X series these days, because 'master' version is always
   6more stable than any tagged released version of git.
   7
   8This is primarily to futureproof "git-shell" to accept requests
   9without a dash between "git" and subcommand name (e.g. "git
  10upload-pack") which the newer client will start to make sometime in
  11the future.
  12
  13Fixes since v1.5.4.5
  14--------------------
  15
  16 * Command line option "-n" to "git-repack" was not correctly parsed.
  17
  18 * Error messages from "git-apply" when the patchfile cannot be opened
  19   have been improved.
  20
  21 * Error messages from "git-bisect" when given nonsense revisions have
  22   been improved.
  23
  24 * reflog syntax that uses time e.g. "HEAD@{10 seconds ago}:path" did not
  25   stop parsing at the closing "}".
  26
  27 * "git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name ^master^2" printed solitary "^",
  28   but it should print nothing.
  29
  30 * "git apply" did not enforce "match at the beginning" correctly.
  31
  32 * a path specification "a/b" in .gitattributes file should not match
  33   "sub/a/b", but it did.
  34
  35 * "git log --date-order --topo-order" did not override the earlier
  36   date-order with topo-order as expected.
  37
  38 * "git fast-export" did not export octopus merges correctly.
  39
  40 * "git archive --prefix=$path/" mishandled gitattributes.
  41
  42As usual, it also comes with many documentation fixes and clarifications.
