   1 GIT v1.6.2.2 Release Notes
   2 ==========================
   3
   4 Fixes since v1.6.2.1
   5 --------------------
   6
   7 * A longstanding confusing description of what --pickaxe option of
   8   git-diff does has been clarified in the documentation.
   9
  10 * "git-blame -S" did not quite work near the commits that were given
  11   on the command line correctly.
  12
  13 * "git diff --pickaxe-regexp" did not count overlapping matches
  14   correctly.
  15
  16 * "git diff" did not feed files in work-tree representation to external
  17   diff and textconv.
  18
  19 * "git-fetch" in a repository that was not cloned from anywhere said
  20   it cannot find 'origin', which was hard to understand for new people.
  21
  22 * "git-format-patch --numbered-files --stdout" did not have to die of
  23   incompatible options; it now simply ignores --numbered-files as no files
  24   are produced anyway.
  25
  26 * "git-ls-files --deleted" did not work well with GIT_DIR&GIT_WORK_TREE.
  27
  28 * "git-read-tree A B C..." without -m option has been broken for a long
  29   time.
  30
  31 * git-send-email ignored --in-reply-to when --no-thread was given.
  32
  33 * 'git-submodule add' did not tolerate extra slashes and ./ in the path it
  34   accepted from the command line; it now is more lenient.
  35
  36 * git-svn misbehaved when the project contained a path that began with
  37   two dashes.
  38
  39 * import-zips script (in contrib) did not compute the common directory
  40   prefix correctly.
  41
  42 * miscompilation of negated enum constants by old gcc (2.9) affected the
  43   codepaths to spawn subprocesses.
  44
  45 Many small documentation updates are included as well.
