Junio C Hamano7fb6bcf2009-09-13 01:04:23 -07001GIT v1.6.4.3 Release Notes
2==========================
3
4Fixes since v1.6.4.2
5--------------------
6
7* "git clone" from an empty repository gave unnecessary error message,
8 even though it did everything else correctly.
9
10* "git cvsserver" invoked git commands via "git-foo" style, which has long
11 been deprecated.
12
13* "git fetch" and "git clone" had an extra sanity check to verify the
Ralf Wildenhues22e5e582010-08-22 13:12:12 +020014 presence of the corresponding *.pack file before downloading *.idx
Junio C Hamano7fb6bcf2009-09-13 01:04:23 -070015 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).
20
21* "git grep" did not like relative pathname to refer outside the current
22 directory when run from a subdirectory.
23
24* an error message from "git push" was formatted in a very ugly way.
25
26* "git svn" did not quote the subversion user name correctly when
27 running its author-prog helper program.
28
29Other minor documentation updates are included.
