   1 GIT v1.5.4.6 Release Notes
   2 ==========================
   3
   4 I personally do not think there is any reason anybody should want to
   5 run v1.5.4.X series these days, because 'master' version is always
   6 more stable than any tagged released version of git.
   7
   8 This is primarily to futureproof "git-shell" to accept requests
   9 without a dash between "git" and subcommand name (e.g. "git
  10 upload-pack") which the newer client will start to make sometime in
  11 the future.
  12
  13 Fixes since v1.5.4.5
  14 --------------------
  15
  16  * Command line option "-n" to "git-repack" was not correctly parsed.
  17
  18  * Error messages from "git-apply" when the patchfile cannot be opened
  19    have been improved.
  20
  21  * Error messages from "git-bisect" when given nonsense revisions have
  22    been improved.
  23
  24  * reflog syntax that uses time e.g. "HEAD@{10 seconds ago}:path" did not
  25    stop parsing at the closing "}".
  26
  27  * "git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name ^master^2" printed solitary "^",
  28    but it should print nothing.
  29
  30  * "git apply" did not enforce "match at the beginning" correctly.
  31
  32  * a path specification "a/b" in .gitattributes file should not match
  33    "sub/a/b", but it did.
  34
  35  * "git log --date-order --topo-order" did not override the earlier
  36    date-order with topo-order as expected.
  37
  38  * "git fast-export" did not export octopus merges correctly.
  39
  40  * "git archive --prefix=$path/" mishandled gitattributes.
  41
  42 As usual, it also comes with many documentation fixes and clarifications.
