| Git v1.6.5.5 Release Notes
 | |
| ==========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| Fixes since v1.6.5.4
 | |
| --------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Manual pages can be formatted with older xmlto again.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * GREP_OPTIONS exported from user's environment could have broken
 | |
|    our scripted commands.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * In configuration files, a few variables that name paths can begin with
 | |
|    ~/ and ~username/ and they are expanded as expected.  This is not a
 | |
|    bugfix but 1.6.6 will have this and without backporting users cannot
 | |
|    easily use the same ~/.gitconfig across versions.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git diff -B -M" did the same computation to hash lines of contents
 | |
|    twice, and held onto memory after it has used the data in it
 | |
|    unnecessarily before it freed.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git diff -B" and "git diff --dirstat" was not counting newly added
 | |
|    contents correctly.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git format-patch revisions... -- path" issued an incorrect error
 | |
|    message that suggested to use "--" on the command line when path
 | |
|    does not exist in the current work tree (it is a separate matter if
 | |
|    it makes sense to limit format-patch with pathspecs like that
 | |
|    without using the --full-diff option).
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git grep -F -i StRiNg" did not work as expected.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Enumeration of available merge strategies iterated over the list of
 | |
|    commands in a wrong way, sometimes producing an incorrect result.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git shortlog" did not honor the "encoding" header embedded in the
 | |
|    commit object like "git log" did.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Reading progress messages that come from the remote side while running
 | |
|    "git pull" is given precedence over reading the actual pack data to
 | |
|    prevent garbled progress message on the user's terminal.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git rebase" got confused when the log message began with certain
 | |
|    strings that looked like Subject:, Date: or From: header.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git reset" accidentally run in .git/ directory checked out the
 | |
|    work tree contents in there.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Other minor documentation updates are included.
