1GIT v1.6.4.2 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.6.4.1 5-------------------- 6 7* --date=relative output between 1 and 5 years ago rounded the number of 8 years when saying X years Y months ago, instead of rounding it down. 9 10* "git add -p" did not handle changes in executable bits correctly 11 (a regression around 1.6.3). 12 13* "git apply" did not honor GNU diff's convention to mark the creation/deletion 14 event with UNIX epoch timestamp on missing side. 15 16* "git checkout" incorrectly removed files in a directory pointed by a 17 symbolic link during a branch switch that replaces a directory with 18 a symbolic link. 19 20* "git clean -d -f" happily descended into a subdirectory that is managed by a 21 separate git repository. It now requires two -f options for safety. 22 23* "git fetch/push" over http transports had two rather grave bugs. 24 25* "git format-patch --cover-letter" did not prepare the cover letter file 26 for use with non-ASCII strings when there are the series contributors with 27 non-ASCII names. 28 29* "git pull origin branch" and "git fetch origin && git merge origin/branch" 30 left different merge messages in the resulting commit. 31 32Other minor documentation updates are included.
