| GIT v1.5.4.4 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.5.4.3 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * Building and installing with an overtight umask such as 077 made |
| installed templates unreadable by others, while the rest of the install |
| are done in a way that is friendly to umask 022. |
| |
| * "git cvsexportcommit -w $cvsdir" misbehaved when GIT_DIR is set to a |
| relative directory. |
| |
| * "git http-push" had an invalid memory access that could lead it to |
| segfault. |
| |
| * When "git rebase -i" gave control back to the user for a commit that is |
| marked to be edited, it just said "modify it with commit --amend", |
| without saying what to do to continue after modifying it. Give an |
| explicit instruction to run "rebase --continue" to be more helpful. |
| |
| * "git send-email" in 1.5.4.3 issued a bogus empty In-Reply-To: header. |
| |
| * "git bisect" showed mysterious "won't bisect on seeked tree" error message. |
| This was leftover from Cogito days to prevent "bisect" starting from a |
| cg-seeked state. We still keep the Cogito safety, but running "git bisect |
| start" when another bisect was in effect will clean up and start over. |
| |
| * "git push" with an explicit PATH to receive-pack did not quite work if |
| receive-pack was not on usual PATH. We earlier fixed the same issue |
| with "git fetch" and upload-pack, but somehow forgot to do so in the |
| other direction. |
| |
| * git-gui's info dialog was not displayed correctly when the user tries |
| to commit nothing (i.e. without staging anything). |
| |
| * "git revert" did not properly fail when attempting to run with a |
| dirty index. |
| |
| * "git merge --no-commit --no-ff <other>" incorrectly made commits. |
| |
| * "git merge --squash --no-ff <other>", which is a nonsense combination |
| of options, was not rejected. |
| |
| * "git ls-remote" and "git remote show" against an empty repository |
| failed, instead of just giving an empty result (regression). |
| |
| * "git fast-import" did not handle a renamed path whose name needs to be |
| quoted, due to a bug in unquote_c_style() function. |
| |
| * "git cvsexportcommit" was confused when multiple files with the same |
| basename needed to be pushed out in the same commit. |
| |
| * "git daemon" did not send early errors to syslog. |
| |
| * "git log --merge" did not work well with --left-right option. |
| |
| * "git svn" prompted for client cert password every time it accessed the |
| server. |
| |
| * The reset command in "git fast-import" data stream was documented to |
| end with an optional LF, but it actually required one. |
| |
| * "git svn dcommit/rebase" did not honor --rewrite-root option. |
| |
| Also included are a handful documentation updates. |
