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.
