   1 GIT v1.6.0.3 Release Notes
   2 ==========================
   3
   4 Fixes since v1.6.0.2
   5 --------------------
   6
   7 * "git archive --format=zip" did not honor core.autocrlf while
   8   --format=tar did.
   9
  10 * Continuing "git rebase -i" was very confused when the user left modified
  11   files in the working tree while resolving conflicts.
  12
  13 * Continuing "git rebase -i" was also very confused when the user left
  14   some staged changes in the index after "edit".
  15
  16 * "git rebase -i" now honors the pre-rebase hook, just like the
  17   other rebase implementations "git rebase" and "git rebase -m".
  18
  19 * "git rebase -i" incorrectly aborted when there is no commit to replay.
  20
  21 * Behaviour of "git diff --quiet" was inconsistent with "diff --exit-code"
  22   with the output redirected to /dev/null.
  23
  24 * "git diff --no-index" on binary files no longer outputs a bogus
  25   "diff --git" header line.
  26
  27 * "git diff" hunk header patterns with multiple elements separated by LF
  28   were not used correctly.
  29
  30 * Hunk headers in "git diff" default to using extended regular
  31   expressions, fixing some of the internal patterns on non-GNU
  32   platforms.
  33
  34 * New config "diff.*.xfuncname" exposes extended regular expressions
  35   for user specified hunk header patterns.
  36
  37 * "git gc" when ejecting otherwise unreachable objects from packfiles into
  38   loose form leaked memory.
  39
  40 * "git index-pack" was recently broken and mishandled objects added by
  41   thin-pack completion processing under memory pressure.
  42
  43 * "git index-pack" was recently broken and misbehaved when run from inside
  44   .git/objects/pack/ directory.
  45
  46 * "git stash apply sash@{1}" was fixed to error out.  Prior versions
  47   would have applied stash@{0} incorrectly.
  48
  49 * "git stash apply" now offers a better suggestion on how to continue
  50   if the working tree is currently dirty.
  51
  52 * "git for-each-ref --format=%(subject)" fixed for commits with no
  53   newline in the message body.
  54
  55 * "git remote" fixed to protect printf from user input.
  56
  57 * "git remote show -v" now displays all URLs of a remote.
  58
  59 * "git checkout -b branch" was confused when branch already existed.
  60
  61 * "git checkout -q" once again suppresses the locally modified file list.
  62
  63 * "git clone -q", "git fetch -q" asks remote side to not send
  64   progress messages, actually making their output quiet.
  65
  66 * Cross-directory renames are no longer used when creating packs.  This
  67   allows more graceful behavior on filesystems like sshfs.
  68
  69 * Stale temporary files under $GIT_DIR/objects/pack are now cleaned up
  70   automatically by "git prune".
  71
  72 * "git merge" once again removes directories after the last file has
  73   been removed from it during the merge.
  74
  75 * "git merge" did not allocate enough memory for the structure itself when
  76   enumerating the parents of the resulting commit.
  77
  78 * "git blame -C -C" no longer segfaults while trying to pass blame if
  79    it encounters a submodule reference.
  80
  81 * "git rm" incorrectly claimed that you have local modifications when a
  82   path was merely stat-dirty.
  83
  84 * "git svn" fixed to display an error message when 'set-tree' failed,
  85    instead of a Perl compile error.
  86
  87 * "git submodule" fixed to handle checking out a different commit
  88   than HEAD after initializing the submodule.
  89
  90 * The "git commit" error message when there are still unmerged
  91   files present was clarified to match "git write-tree".
  92
  93 * "git init" was confused when core.bare or core.sharedRepository are set
  94   in system or user global configuration file by mistake.  When --bare or
  95   --shared is given from the command line, these now override such
  96   settings made outside the repositories.
  97
  98 * Some segfaults due to uncaught NULL pointers were fixed in multiple
  99   tools such as apply, reset, update-index.
 100
 101 * Solaris builds now default to OLD_ICONV=1 to avoid compile warnings;
 102   Solaris 8 does not define NEEDS_LIBICONV by default.
 103
 104 * "Git.pm" tests relied on unnecessarily more recent version of Perl.
 105
 106 * "gitweb" triggered undef warning on commits without log messages.
 107
 108 * "gitweb" triggered undef warnings on missing trees.
 109
 110 * "gitweb" now removes PATH_INFO from its URLs so users don't have
 111   to manually set the URL in the gitweb configuration.
 112
 113 * Bash completion removed support for legacy "git-fetch", "git-push"
 114   and "git-pull" as these are no longer installed.  Dashless form
 115   ("git fetch") is still however supported.
