1 GIT v1.6.4.3 Release Notes
2 ==========================
4 Fixes since v1.6.4.2
5 --------------------
7 * "git clone" from an empty repository gave unnecessary error message,
8 even though it did everything else correctly.
10 * "git cvsserver" invoked git commands via "git-foo" style, which has long
11 been deprecated.
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).
21 * "git grep" did not like relative pathname to refer outside the current
22 directory when run from a subdirectory.
24 * an error message from "git push" was formatted in a very ugly way.
26 * "git svn" did not quote the subversion user name correctly when
27 running its author-prog helper program.
29 Other minor documentation updates are included.
