| GIT v1.6.4.4 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.6.4.4 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * The workaround for Github server that sometimes gave 500 (Internal server |
| error) response to HEAD requests in 1.6.4.3 introduced a regression that |
| caused re-fetching projects over http to segfault in certain cases due |
| to uninitialized pointer being freed. |
| |
| * "git pull" on an unborn branch used to consider anything in the work |
| tree and the index discardable. |
| |
| * "git diff -b/w" did not work well on the incomplete line at the end of |
| the file, due to an incorrect hashing of lines in the low-level xdiff |
| routines. |
| |
| * "git checkout-index --prefix=$somewhere" used to work when $somewhere is |
| a symbolic link to a directory elsewhere, but v1.6.4.2 broke it. |
| |
| * "git unpack-objects --strict", invoked when receive.fsckobjects |
| configuration is set in the receiving repository of "git push", did not |
| properly check the objects, especially the submodule links, it received. |
| |
| Other minor documentation updates are included. |
