   1 Git v1.6.5.5 Release Notes
   2 ==========================
   3
   4 Fixes since v1.6.5.4
   5 --------------------
   6
   7  * Manual pages can be formatted with older xmlto again.
   8
   9  * GREP_OPTIONS exported from user's environment could have broken
  10    our scripted commands.
  11
  12  * In configuration files, a few variables that name paths can begin with
  13    ~/ and ~username/ and they are expanded as expected.  This is not a
  14    bugfix but 1.6.6 will have this and without backporting users cannot
  15    easily use the same ~/.gitconfig across versions.
  16
  17  * "git diff -B -M" did the same computation to hash lines of contents
  18    twice, and held onto memory after it has used the data in it
  19    unnecessarily before it freed.
  20
  21  * "git format-patch revisions... -- path" issued an incorrect error
  22    message that suggested to use "--" on the command line when path
  23    does not exist in the current work tree (it is a separate matter if
  24    it makes sense to limit format-patch with pathspecs like that
  25    without using the --full-diff option).
  26
  27  * "git grep -F -i StRiNg" did not work as expected.
  28
  29  * Enumeration of available merge strategies iterated over the list of
  30    commands in a wrong way, sometimes producing an incorrect result.
  31
  32  * "git shortlog" did not honor the "encoding" header embedded in the
  33    commit object like "git log" did.
  34
  35  * Reading progress messages that come from the remote side while running
  36    "git pull" is given precedence over reading the actual pack data to
  37    prevent garbled progress message on the user's terminal.
  38
  39  * "git rebase" got confused when the log message began with certain
  40    strings that looked like Subject:, Date: or From: header.
  41
  42 Other minor documentation updates are included.
