GIT v1.5.6.3 Release Notes
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.5.6.2
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* Setting core.sharedrepository to traditional "true" value was supposed to make
|
|
the repository group writable but should not affect permission for others.
|
|
However, since 1.5.6, it was broken to drop permission for others when umask is
|
|
022, making the repository unreadable by others.
|
|
|
|
* Setting GIT_TRACE will report spawning of external process via run_command().
|
|
|
|
* Using an object with very deep delta chain pinned memory needed for extracting
|
|
intermediate base objects unnecessarily long, leading to excess memory usage.
|
|
|
|
* Bash completion script did not notice '--' marker on the command
|
|
line and tried the relatively slow "ref completion" even when
|
|
completing arguments after one.
|
|
|
|
* Registering a non-empty blob racily and then truncating the working
|
|
tree file for it confused "racy-git avoidance" logic into thinking
|
|
that the path is now unchanged.
|
|
|
|
* The section that describes attributes related to git-archive were placed
|
|
in a wrong place in the gitattributes(5) manual page.
|
|
|
|
* "git am" was not helpful to the users when it detected that the committer
|
|
information is not set up properly yet.
|
|
|
|
* "git clone" had a leftover debugging fprintf().
|
|
|
|
* "git clone -q" was not quiet enough as it used to and gave object count
|
|
and progress reports.
|
|
|
|
* "git clone" marked downloaded packfile with .keep; this could be a
|
|
good thing if the remote side is well packed but otherwise not,
|
|
especially for a project that is not really big.
|
|
|
|
* "git daemon" used to call syslog() from a signal handler, which
|
|
could raise signals of its own but generally is not reentrant. This
|
|
was fixed by restructuring the code to report syslog() after the handler
|
|
returns.
|
|
|
|
* When "git push" tries to remove a remote ref, and corresponding
|
|
tracking ref is missing, we used to report error (i.e. failure to
|
|
remove something that does not exist).
|
|
|
|
* "git mailinfo" (hence "git am") did not handle commit log messages in a
|
|
MIME multipart mail correctly.
|
|
|
|
Contains other various documentation fixes.
