1 | GIT v1.6.1.2 Release Notes |
2 | ========================== | |
3 | ||
4 | Fixes since v1.6.1.1 | |
5 | -------------------- | |
6 | ||
c0bc2eeb MR |
7 | * The logic for rename detection in internal diff used by commands like |
8 | "git diff" and "git blame" has been optimized to avoid loading the same | |
b296e8fc JH |
9 | blob repeatedly. |
10 | ||
11 | * We did not allow writing out a blob that is larger than 2GB for no good | |
12 | reason. | |
13 | ||
14 | * "git format-patch -o $dir", when $dir is a relative directory, used it | |
15 | as relative to the root of the work tree, not relative to the current | |
16 | directory. | |
17 | ||
18 | * v1.6.1 introduced an optimization for "git push" into a repository (A) | |
19 | that borrows its objects from another repository (B) to avoid sending | |
20 | objects that are available in repository B, when they are not yet used | |
21 | by repository A. However the code on the "git push" sender side was | |
22 | buggy and did not work when repository B had new objects that are not | |
23 | known by the sender. This caused pushing into a "forked" repository | |
24 | served by v1.6.1 software using "git push" from v1.6.1 sometimes did not | |
25 | work. The bug was purely on the "git push" sender side, and has been | |
26 | corrected. | |
27 | ||
28 | * "git status -v" did not paint its diff output in colour even when | |
29 | color.ui configuration was set. | |
30 | ||
31 | * "git ls-tree" learned --full-tree option to help Porcelain scripts that | |
32 | want to always see the full path regardless of the current working | |
33 | directory. | |
34 | ||
35 | * "git grep" incorrectly searched in work tree paths even when they are | |
36 | marked as assume-unchanged. It now searches in the index entries. | |
37 | ||
38 | * "git gc" with no grace period needlessly ejected packed but unreachable | |
39 | objects in their loose form, only to delete them right away. |
