   1 GIT v1.6.0.2 Release Notes
   2 ==========================
   3
   4 Fixes since v1.6.0.1
   5 --------------------
   6
   7 * Installation on platforms that needs .exe suffix to git-* programs were
   8   broken in 1.6.0.1.
   9
  10 * Installation on filesystems without symbolic links support did not
  11   work well.
  12
  13 * In-tree documentations and test scripts now use "git foo" form to set a
  14   better example, instead of the "git-foo" form (which is an acceptable
  15   form if you have "PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH" in your script)
  16
  17 * Many commands did not use the correct working tree location when used
  18   with GIT_WORK_TREE environment settings.
  19
  20 * Some systems need to use compatibility fnmatch and regex libraries
  21   independent from each other; the compat/ area has been reorganized to
  22   allow this.
  23
  24
  25 * "git apply --unidiff-zero" incorrectly applied a -U0 patch that inserts
  26   a new line before the second line.
  27
  28 * "git blame -c" did not exactly work like "git annotate" when range
  29   boundaries are involved.
  30
  31 * "git checkout file" when file is still unmerged checked out contents from
  32   a random high order stage, which was confusing.
  33
  34 * "git clone $there $here/" with extra trailing slashes after explicit
  35   local directory name $here did not work as expected.
  36
  37 * "git diff" on tracked contents with CRLF line endings did not drive "less"
  38   intelligently when showing added or removed lines.
  39
  40 * "git diff --dirstat -M" did not add changes in subdirectories up
  41   correctly for renamed paths.
  42
  43 * "git diff --cumulative" did not imply "--dirstat".
  44
  45 * "git for-each-ref refs/heads/" did not work as expected.
  46
  47 * "git gui" allowed users to feed patch without any context to be applied.
  48
  49 * "git gui" botched parsing "diff" output when a line that begins with two
  50   dashes and a space gets removed or a line that begins with two pluses
  51   and a space gets added.
  52
  53 * "git gui" translation updates and i18n fixes.
  54
  55 * "git index-pack" is more careful against disk corruption while completing
  56   a thin pack.
  57
  58 * "git log -i --grep=pattern" did not ignore case; neither "git log -E
  59   --grep=pattern" triggered extended regexp.
  60
  61 * "git log --pretty="%ad" --date=short" did not use short format when
  62   showing the timestamp.
  63
  64 * "git log --author=author" match incorrectly matched with the
  65   timestamp part of "author " line in commit objects.
  66
  67 * "git log -F --author=author" did not work at all.
  68
  69 * Build procedure for "git shell" that used stub versions of some
  70   functions and globals was not understood by linkers on some platforms.
  71
  72 * "git stash" was fooled by a stat-dirty but otherwise unmodified paths
  73   and refused to work until the user refreshed the index.
  74
  75 * "git svn" was broken on Perl before 5.8 with recent fixes to reduce
  76   use of temporary files.
  77
  78 * "git verify-pack -v" did not work correctly when given more than one
  79   packfile.
