1GIT v1.6.3.2 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.6.3.1 5-------------------- 6 7 * A few codepaths picked up the first few bytes from an sha1[] by 8 casting the (char *) pointer to (int *); GCC 4.4 did not like this, 9 and aborted compilation. 10 11 * Some unlink(2) failures went undiagnosed. 12 13 * The "recursive" merge strategy misbehaved when faced rename/delete 14 conflicts while coming up with an intermediate merge base. 15 16 * The low-level merge algorithm did not handle a degenerate case of 17 merging a file with itself using itself as the common ancestor 18 gracefully. It should produce the file itself, but instead 19 produced an empty result. 20 21 * GIT_TRACE mechanism segfaulted when tracing a shell-quoted aliases. 22 23 * OpenBSD also uses st_ctimspec in "struct stat", instead of "st_ctim". 24 25 * With NO_CROSS_DIRECTORY_HARDLINKS, "make install" can be told not to 26 create hardlinks between $(gitexecdir)/git-$builtin_commands and 27 $(bindir)/git. 28 29 * command completion code in bash did not reliably detect that we are 30 in a bare repository. 31 32 * "git add ." in an empty directory complained that pathspec "." did not 33 match anything, which may be technically correct, but not useful. We 34 silently make it a no-op now. 35 36 * "git add -p" (and "patch" action in "git add -i") was broken when 37 the first hunk that adds a line at the top was split into two and 38 both halves are marked to be used. 39 40 * "git blame path" misbehaved at the commit where path became file 41 from a directory with some files in it. 42 43 * "git for-each-ref" had a segfaulting bug when dealing with a tag object 44 created by an ancient git. 45 46 * "git format-patch -k" still added patch numbers if format.numbered 47 configuration was set. 48 49 * "git grep --color ''" did not terminate. The command also had 50 subtle bugs with its -w option. 51 52 * http-push had a small use-after-free bug. 53 54 * "git push" was converting OFS_DELTA pack representation into less 55 efficient REF_DELTA representation unconditionally upon transfer, 56 making the transferred data unnecessarily larger. 57 58 * "git remote show origin" segfaulted when origin was still empty. 59 60Many other general usability updates around help text, diagnostic messages 61and documentation are included as well.
