GIT v1.5.4.6 Release Notes
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
I personally do not think there is any reason anybody should want to
|
|
run v1.5.4.X series these days, because 'master' version is always
|
|
more stable than any tagged released version of git.
|
|
|
|
This is primarily to futureproof "git-shell" to accept requests
|
|
without a dash between "git" and subcommand name (e.g. "git
|
|
upload-pack") which the newer client will start to make sometime in
|
|
the future.
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.5.4.5
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* Command line option "-n" to "git-repack" was not correctly parsed.
|
|
|
|
* Error messages from "git-apply" when the patchfile cannot be opened
|
|
have been improved.
|
|
|
|
* Error messages from "git-bisect" when given nonsense revisions have
|
|
been improved.
|
|
|
|
* reflog syntax that uses time e.g. "HEAD@{10 seconds ago}:path" did not
|
|
stop parsing at the closing "}".
|
|
|
|
* "git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name ^master^2" printed solitary "^",
|
|
but it should print nothing.
|
|
|
|
* "git apply" did not enforce "match at the beginning" correctly.
|
|
|
|
* a path specification "a/b" in .gitattributes file should not match
|
|
"sub/a/b", but it did.
|
|
|
|
* "git log --date-order --topo-order" did not override the earlier
|
|
date-order with topo-order as expected.
|
|
|
|
* "git fast-export" did not export octopus merges correctly.
|
|
|
|
* "git archive --prefix=$path/" mishandled gitattributes.
|
|
|
|
As usual, it also comes with many documentation fixes and clarifications.
