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.
