   1 GIT v1.5.3.5 Release Notes
   2 ==========================
   3
   4 Fixes since v1.5.3.4
   5 --------------------
   6
   7  * Comes with git-gui 0.8.4.
   8
   9  * "git-config" silently ignored options after --list; now it will
  10    error out with a usage message.
  11
  12  * "git-config --file" failed if the argument used a relative path
  13    as it changed directories before opening the file.
  14
  15  * "git-config --file" now displays a proper error message if it
  16    cannot read the file specified on the command line.
  17
  18  * "git-config", "git-diff", "git-apply" failed if run from a
  19    subdirectory with relative GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE set.
  20
  21  * "git-blame" crashed if run during a merge conflict.
  22
  23  * "git-add -i" did not handle single line hunks correctly.
  24
  25  * "git-rebase -i" and "git-stash apply" failed if external diff
  26    drivers were used for one or more files in a commit.  They now
  27    avoid calling the external diff drivers.
  28
  29  * "git-log --follow" did not work unless diff generation (e.g. -p)
  30    was also requested.
  31
  32  * "git-log --follow -B" did not work at all.  Fixed.
  33
  34  * "git-log -M -B" did not correctly handle cases of very large files
  35    being renamed and replaced by very small files in the same commit.
  36
  37  * "git-log" printed extra newlines between commits when a diff
  38    was generated internally (e.g. -S or --follow) but not displayed.
  39
  40  * "git-push" error message is more helpful when pushing to a
  41    repository with no matching refs and none specified.
  42
  43  * "git-push" now respects + (force push) on wildcard refspecs,
  44    matching the behavior of git-fetch.
  45
  46  * "git-filter-branch" now updates the working directory when it
  47    has finished filtering the current branch.
  48
  49  * "git-instaweb" no longer fails on Mac OS X.
  50
  51  * "git-cvsexportcommit" didn't always create new parent directories
  52    before trying to create new child directories.  Fixed.
  53
  54  * "git-fetch" printed a scary (but bogus) error message while
  55    fetching a tag that pointed to a tree or blob.  The error did
  56    not impact correctness, only user perception.  The bogus error
  57    is no longer printed.
  58
  59  * "git-ls-files --ignored" did not properly descend into non-ignored
  60    directories that themselves contained ignored files if d_type
  61    was not supported by the filesystem.  This bug impacted systems
  62    such as AFS.  Fixed.
  63
  64  * Git segfaulted when reading an invalid .gitattributes file.  Fixed.
  65
  66  * post-receive-email example hook was fixed for non-fast-forward
  67    updates.
  68
  69  * Documentation updates for supported (but previously undocumented)
  70    options of "git-archive" and "git-reflog".
  71
  72  * "make clean" no longer deletes the configure script that ships
  73    with the git tarball, making multiple architecture builds easier.
  74
  75  * "git-remote show origin" spewed a warning message from Perl
  76    when no remote is defined for the current branch via
  77    branch.<name>.remote configuration settings.
  78
  79  * Building with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER excessively rebuilt contents
  80    of perl/ subdirectory by rewriting perl.mak.
  81
  82  * http.sslVerify configuration settings were not used in scripted
  83    Porcelains.
  84
  85  * "git-add" leaked a bit of memory while scanning for files to add.
  86
  87  * A few workarounds to squelch false warnings from recent gcc have
  88    been added.
  89
  90  * "git-send-pack $remote frotz" segfaulted when there is nothing
  91    named 'frotz' on the local end.
  92
  93  * "git-rebase --interactive" did not handle its "--strategy" option
  94    properly.
