GIT v1.6.1.4 Release Notes
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.6.1.3
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* .gitignore learned to handle backslash as a quoting mechanism for
|
|
comment introduction character "#".
|
|
This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.1.
|
|
|
|
* "git fast-export" produced wrong output with some parents missing from
|
|
commits, when the history is clock-skewed.
|
|
|
|
* "git fast-import" sometimes failed to read back objects it just wrote
|
|
out and aborted, because it failed to flush stale cached data.
|
|
|
|
* "git-ls-tree" and "git-diff-tree" used a pathspec correctly when
|
|
deciding to descend into a subdirectory but they did not match the
|
|
individual paths correctly. This caused pathspecs "abc/d ab" to match
|
|
"abc/0" ("abc/d" made them decide to descend into the directory "abc/",
|
|
and then "ab" incorrectly matched "abc/0" when it shouldn't).
|
|
This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.3.
|
|
|
|
* import-zips script (in contrib) did not compute the common directory
|
|
prefix correctly.
|
|
This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.2.
|
|
|
|
* "git init" segfaulted when given an overlong template location via
|
|
the --template= option.
|
|
This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.4.
|
|
|
|
* "git repack" did not error out when necessary object was missing in the
|
|
repository.
|
|
|
|
* git-repack (invoked from git-gc) did not work as nicely as it should in
|
|
a repository that borrows objects from neighbours via alternates
|
|
mechanism especially when some packs are marked with the ".keep" flag
|
|
to prevent them from being repacked.
|
|
This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.3.
|
|
|
|
Also includes minor documentation fixes and updates.
