Git v2.6.4 Release Notes
 | 
						|
========================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Fixes since v2.6.3
 | 
						|
------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * The "configure" script did not test for -lpthread correctly, which
 | 
						|
   upset some linkers.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Add support for talking http/https over socks proxy.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Portability fix for Windows, which may rewrite $SHELL variable using
 | 
						|
   non-POSIX paths.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * We now consistently allow all hooks to ignore their standard input,
 | 
						|
   rather than having git complain of SIGPIPE.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Fix shell quoting in contrib script.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Test portability fix for a topic in v2.6.1.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Allow tilde-expansion in some http config variables.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Give a useful special case "diff/show --word-diff-regex=." as an
 | 
						|
   example in the documentation.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Fix for a corner case in filter-branch.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Make git-p4 work on a detached head.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Documentation clarification for "check-ignore" without "--verbose".
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Just like the working tree is cleaned up when the user cancelled
 | 
						|
   submission in P4Submit.applyCommit(), clean up the mess if "p4
 | 
						|
   submit" fails.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Having a leftover .idx file without corresponding .pack file in
 | 
						|
   the repository hurts performance; "git gc" learned to prune them.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * The code to prepare the working tree side of temporary directory
 | 
						|
   for the "dir-diff" feature forgot that symbolic links need not be
 | 
						|
   copied (or symlinked) to the temporary area, as the code already
 | 
						|
   special cases and overwrites them.  Besides, it was wrong to try
 | 
						|
   computing the object name of the target of symbolic link, which may
 | 
						|
   not even exist or may be a directory.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * There was no way to defeat a configured rebase.autostash variable
 | 
						|
   from the command line, as "git rebase --no-autostash" was missing.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Allow "git interpret-trailers" to run outside of a Git repository.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Produce correct "dirty" marker for shell prompts, even when we
 | 
						|
   are on an orphan or an unborn branch.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Some corner cases have been fixed in string-matching done in "git
 | 
						|
   status".
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Apple's common crypto implementation of SHA1_Update() does not take
 | 
						|
   more than 4GB at a time, and we now have a compile-time workaround
 | 
						|
   for it.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
 | 
						|
clean-ups.
