1 Git v1.6.5.3 Release Notes
2 ==========================
4 Fixes since v1.6.5.2
5 --------------------
7 * info/grafts file didn't ignore trailing CR at the end of lines.
9 * Packages generated on newer FC were unreadable by older versions of
10 RPM as the new default is to use stronger hash.
12 * output from "git blame" was unreadable when the file ended in an
13 incomplete line.
15 * "git add -i/-p" didn't handle deletion of empty files correctly.
17 * "git clone" takes up to two parameters, but did not complain when
18 given more arguments than necessary and silently ignored them.
20 * "git cvsimport" did not read files given as command line arguments
21 correctly when it is run from a subdirectory.
23 * "git diff --color-words -U0" didn't work correctly.
25 * The handling of blank lines at the end of file by "git diff/apply
26 --whitespace" was inconsistent with the other kinds of errors.
27 They are now colored, warned against, and fixed the same way as others.
29 * There was no way to allow blank lines at the end of file without
30 allowing extra blanks at the end of lines. You can use blank-at-eof
31 and blank-at-eol whitespace error class to specify them separately.
32 The old trailing-space error class is now a short-hand to set both.
34 * "-p" option to "git format-patch" was supposed to suppress diffstat
35 generation, but it was broken since 1.6.1.
37 * "git imap-send" did not compile cleanly with newer OpenSSL.
39 * "git help -a" outside of a git repository was broken.
41 * "git ls-files -i" was supposed to be inverse of "git ls-files" without -i
42 with respect to exclude patterns, but it was broken since 1.6.5.2.
44 * "git ls-remote" outside of a git repository over http was broken.
46 * "git rebase -i" gave bogus error message when the command word was
47 misspelled.
49 * "git receive-pack" that is run in response to "git push" did not run
50 garbage collection nor update-server-info, but in larger hosting sites,
51 these almost always need to be run. To help site administrators, the
52 command now runs "gc --auto" and "u-s-i" by setting receive.autogc
53 and receive.updateserverinfo configuration variables, respectively.
55 * Release notes spelled the package name with incorrect capitalization.
57 * "gitweb" did not escape non-ascii characters correctly in the URL.
59 * "gitweb" showed "patch" link even for merge commits.
61 * "gitweb" showed incorrect links for blob line numbers in pathinfo mode.
63 Other minor documentation updates are included.
