| Git v1.7.6.1 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.7.6 |
| ------------------ |
| |
| * Various codepaths that invoked zlib deflate/inflate assumed that these |
| functions can compress or uncompress more than 4GB data in one call on |
| platforms with 64-bit long, which has been corrected. |
| |
| * "git unexecutable" reported that "unexecutable" was not found, even |
| though the actual error was that "unexecutable" was found but did |
| not have a proper she-bang line to be executed. |
| |
| * Error exits from $PAGER were silently ignored. |
| |
| * "git checkout -b <branch>" was confused when attempting to create a |
| branch whose name ends with "-g" followed by hexadecimal digits, |
| and refused to work. |
| |
| * "git checkout -b <branch>" sometimes wrote a bogus reflog entry, |
| causing later "git checkout -" to fail. |
| |
| * "git diff --cc" learned to correctly ignore binary files. |
| |
| * "git diff -c/--cc" mishandled a deletion that resolves a conflict, and |
| looked in the working tree instead. |
| |
| * "git fast-export" forgot to quote pathnames with unsafe characters |
| in its output. |
| |
| * "git fetch" over smart-http transport used to abort when the |
| repository was updated between the initial connection and the |
| subsequent object transfer. |
| |
| * "git fetch" did not recurse into submodules in subdirectories. |
| |
| * "git ls-tree" did not error out when asked to show a corrupt tree. |
| |
| * "git pull" without any argument left an extra whitespace after the |
| command name in its reflog. |
| |
| * "git push --quiet" was not really quiet. |
| |
| * "git rebase -i -p" incorrectly dropped commits from side branches. |
| |
| * "git reset [<commit>] paths..." did not reset the index entry correctly |
| for unmerged paths. |
| |
| * "git submodule add" did not allow a relative repository path when |
| the superproject did not have any default remote url. |
| |
| * "git submodule foreach" failed to correctly give the standard input to |
| the user-supplied command it invoked. |
| |
| * submodules that the user has never showed interest in by running |
| "git submodule init" was incorrectly marked as interesting by "git |
| submodule sync". |
| |
| * "git submodule update --quiet" was not really quiet. |
| |
| * "git tag -l <glob>..." did not take multiple glob patterns from the |
| command line. |
