   1 GIT v1.5.4.4 Release Notes
   2 ==========================
   3
   4 Fixes since v1.5.4.3
   5 --------------------
   6
   7  * Building and installing with an overtight umask such as 077 made
   8    installed templates unreadable by others, while the rest of the install
   9    are done in a way that is friendly to umask 022.
  10
  11  * "git cvsexportcommit -w $cvsdir" misbehaved when GIT_DIR is set to a
  12    relative directory.
  13
  14  * "git http-push" had an invalid memory access that could lead it to
  15    segfault.
  16
  17  * When "git rebase -i" gave control back to the user for a commit that is
  18    marked to be edited, it just said "modify it with commit --amend",
  19    without saying what to do to continue after modifying it.  Give an
  20    explicit instruction to run "rebase --continue" to be more helpful.
  21
  22  * "git send-email" in 1.5.4.3 issued a bogus empty In-Reply-To: header.
  23
  24  * "git bisect" showed mysterious "won't bisect on seeked tree" error message.
  25    This was leftover from Cogito days to prevent "bisect" starting from a
  26    cg-seeked state.  We still keep the Cogito safety, but running "git bisect
  27    start" when another bisect was in effect will clean up and start over.
  28
  29  * "git push" with an explicit PATH to receive-pack did not quite work if
  30    receive-pack was not on usual PATH.  We earlier fixed the same issue
  31    with "git fetch" and upload-pack, but somehow forgot to do so in the
  32    other direction.
  33
  34  * git-gui's info dialog was not displayed correctly when the user tries
  35    to commit nothing (i.e. without staging anything).
  36
  37  * "git revert" did not properly fail when attempting to run with a
  38    dirty index.
  39
  40  * "git merge --no-commit --no-ff <other>" incorrectly made commits.
  41
  42  * "git merge --squash --no-ff <other>", which is a nonsense combination
  43    of options, was not rejected.
  44
  45  * "git ls-remote" and "git remote show" against an empty repository
  46    failed, instead of just giving an empty result (regression).
  47
  48  * "git fast-import" did not handle a renamed path whose name needs to be
  49    quoted, due to a bug in unquote_c_style() function.
  50
  51  * "git cvsexportcommit" was confused when multiple files with the same
  52    basename needed to be pushed out in the same commit.
  53
  54  * "git daemon" did not send early errors to syslog.
  55
  56  * "git log --merge" did not work well with --left-right option.
  57
  58  * "git svn" prompted for client cert password every time it accessed the
  59    server.
  60
  61  * The reset command in "git fast-import" data stream was documented to
  62    end with an optional LF, but it actually required one.
  63
  64  * "git svn dcommit/rebase" did not honor --rewrite-root option.
  65
  66 Also included are a handful documentation updates.
