1 GIT v1.5.1.2 Release Notes
2 ==========================
3
4 Fixes since v1.5.1.1
5 --------------------
6
7 * Bugfixes
8
9 - "git clone" over http from a repository that has lost the
10 loose refs by running "git pack-refs" were broken (a code to
11 deal with this was added to "git fetch" in v1.5.0, but it
12 was missing from "git clone").
13
14 - "git diff a/ b/" incorrectly fell in "diff between two
15 filesystem objects" codepath, when the user most likely
16 wanted to limit the extent of output to two tracked
17 directories.
18
19 - git-quiltimport had the same bug as we fixed for
20 git-applymbox in v1.5.1.1 -- it gave an alarming "did not
21 have any patch" message (but did not actually fail and was
22 harmless).
23
24 - various git-svn fixes.
25
26 - Sample update hook incorrectly always refused requests to
27 delete branches through push.
28
29 - git-blame on a very long working tree path had buffer
30 overrun problem.
31
32 - git-apply did not like to be fed two patches in a row that created
33 and then modified the same file.
34
35 - git-svn was confused when a non-project was stored directly under
36 trunk/, branches/ and tags/.
37
38 - git-svn wants the Error.pm module that was at least as new
39 as what we ship as part of git; install ours in our private
40 installation location if the one on the system is older.
41
42 - An earlier update to command line integer parameter parser was
43 botched and made 'update-index --cacheinfo' completely useless.
44
45
46 * Documentation updates
47
48 - Various documentation updates from J. Bruce Fields, Frank
49 Lichtenheld, Alex Riesen and others. Andrew Ruder started a
50 war on undocumented options.
