   1GIT v1.5.4.5 Release Notes
   2==========================
   3
   4Fixes since v1.5.4.4
   5--------------------
   6
   7 * You couldn't specify a custom editor whose path contains a whitespace
   8   via GIT_EDITOR (and core.editor).
   9
  10 * The subdirectory filter to "git filter-branch" mishandled a history
  11   where the subdirectory becomes empty and then later becomes non-empty.
  12
  13 * "git shortlog" gave an empty line if the original commit message was
  14   malformed (e.g. a botched import from foreign SCM).  Now it finds the
  15   first non-empty line and uses it for better information.
  16
  17 * When the user fails to give a revision parameter to "git svn", an error
  18   from the Perl interpreter was issued because the script lacked proper
  19   error checking.
  20
  21 * After "git rebase" stopped due to conflicts, if the user played with
  22   "git reset" and friends, "git rebase --abort" failed to go back to the
  23   correct commit.
  24
  25 * Additional work trees prepared with git-new-workdir (in contrib/) did
  26   not share git-svn metadata directory .git/svn with the original.
  27
  28 * "git-merge-recursive" did not mark addition of the same path with
  29   different filemodes correctly as a conflict.
  30
  31 * "gitweb" gave malformed URL when pathinfo stype paths are in use.
  32
  33 * "-n" stands for "--no-tags" again for "git fetch".
  34
  35 * "git format-patch" did not detect the need to add 8-bit MIME header
  36   when the user used format.header configuration.
  37
  38 * "rev~" revision specifier used to mean "rev", which was inconsistent
  39   with how "rev^" worked.  Now "rev~" is the same as "rev~1" (hence it
  40   also is the same as "rev^1"), and "rev~0" is the same as "rev^0"
  41   (i.e. it has to be a commit).
  42
  43 * "git quiltimport" did not grok empty lines, lines in "file -pNNN"
  44   format to specify the prefix levels and lines with trailing comments.
  45
  46 * "git rebase -m" triggered pre-commit verification, which made
  47   "rebase --continue" impossible.
