1 GIT v1.5.1.6 Release Notes
2 ==========================
4 Fixes since v1.5.1.4
5 --------------------
7 * Bugfixes
9 - git-send-email did not understand aliases file for mutt, which
10 allows leading whitespaces.
12 - git-format-patch emitted Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding
13 headers for non ASCII contents, but failed to add MIME-Version.
15 - git-name-rev had a buffer overrun with a deep history.
17 - contributed script import-tars did not get the directory in
18 tar archives interpreted correctly.
20 - git-svn was reported to segfault for many people on list and
21 #git; hopefully this has been fixed.
23 - git-svn also had a bug to crash svnserve by sending a bad
24 sequence of requests.
26 - "git-svn clone" does not try to minimize the URL
27 (i.e. connect to higher level hierarchy) by default, as this
28 can prevent clone to fail if only part of the repository
29 (e.g. 'trunk') is open to public.
31 - "git checkout branch^0" did not detach the head when you are
32 already on 'branch'; backported the fix from the 'master'.
34 - "git-config section.var" did not correctly work when
35 existing configuration file had both [section] and [section "name"]
36 next to each other.
38 - "git clone ../other-directory" was fooled if the current
39 directory $PWD points at is a symbolic link.
41 - (build) tree_entry_extract() function was both static inline
42 and extern, which caused trouble compiling with Forte12
43 compilers on Sun.
45 - Many many documentation fixes and updates.
