   1 GIT v1.6.0.5 Release Notes
   2 ==========================
   3
   4 Fixes since v1.6.0.4
   5 --------------------
   6
   7 * "git checkout" used to crash when your HEAD was pointing at a deleted
   8   branch.
   9
  10 * "git checkout" from an un-checked-out state did not allow switching out
  11   of the current branch.
  12
  13 * "git diff" always allowed GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF and --no-ext-diff was no-op for
  14   the command.
  15
  16 * Giving 3 or more tree-ish to "git diff" is supposed to show the combined
  17   diff from second and subsequent trees to the first one, but the order was
  18   screwed up.
  19
  20 * "git fast-export" did not export all tags.
  21
  22 * "git ls-files --with-tree=<tree>" did not work with options other
  23   than -c, most notably with -m.
  24
  25 * "git pack-objects" did not make its best effort to honor --max-pack-size
  26   option when a single first object already busted the given limit and
  27   placed many objects in a single pack.
  28
  29 * "git-p4" fast import frontend was too eager to trigger its keyword expansion
  30   logic, even on a keyword-looking string that does not have closing '$' on the
  31   same line.
  32
  33 * "git push $there" when the remote $there is defined in $GIT_DIR/branches/$there
  34   behaves more like what cg-push from Cogito used to work.
  35
  36 * when giving up resolving a conflicted merge, "git reset --hard" failed
  37   to remove new paths from the working tree.
  38
  39 * "git tag" did not complain when given mutually incompatible set of options.
  40
  41 * The message constructed in the internal editor was discarded when "git
  42   tag -s" failed to sign the message, which was often caused by the user
  43   not configuring GPG correctly.
  44
  45 * "make check" cannot be run without sparse; people may have meant to say
  46   "make test" instead, so suggest that.
  47
  48 * Internal diff machinery had a corner case performance bug that choked on
  49   a large file with many repeated contents.
  50
  51 * "git repack" used to grab objects out of packs marked with .keep
  52   into a new pack.
  53
  54 * Many unsafe call to sprintf() style varargs functions are corrected.
  55
  56 * Also contains quite a few documentation updates.
