1GIT v1.6.4.3 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.6.4.2 5-------------------- 6 7* "git clone" from an empty repository gave unnecessary error message, 8 even though it did everything else correctly. 9 10* "git cvsserver" invoked git commands via "git-foo" style, which has long 11 been deprecated. 12 13* "git fetch" and "git clone" had an extra sanity check to verify the 14 presence of the corresponding *.pack file before downloading *.idx 15 file by issuing a HEAD request. Github server however sometimes 16 gave 500 (Internal server error) response to HEAD even if a GET 17 request for *.pack file to the same URL would have succeeded, and broke 18 clone over HTTP from some of their repositories. As a workaround, this 19 verification has been removed (as it is not absolutely necessary). 20 21* "git grep" did not like relative pathname to refer outside the current 22 directory when run from a subdirectory. 23 24* an error message from "git push" was formatted in a very ugly way. 25 26* "git svn" did not quote the subversion user name correctly when 27 running its author-prog helper program. 28 29Other minor documentation updates are included.
