   1 Git v1.6.5.4 Release Notes
   2 ==========================
   3
   4 Fixes since v1.6.5.3
   5 --------------------
   6
   7  * "git help" (without argument) used to check if you are in a directory
   8    under git control. There was no breakage in behaviour per-se, but this
   9    was unnecessary.
  10
  11  * "git prune-packed" gave progress output even when its standard error is
  12    not connected to a terminal; this caused cron jobs that run it to
  13    produce crufts.
  14
  15  * "git pack-objects --all-progress" is an option to ask progress output
  16    from write-object phase _if_ progress output were to be produced, and
  17    shouldn't have forced the progress output.
  18
  19  * "git apply -p<n> --directory=<elsewhere>" did not work well for a
  20    non-default value of n.
  21
  22  * "git merge foo HEAD" was misparsed as an old-style invocation of the
  23    command and produced a confusing error message.  As it does not specify
  24    any other branch to merge, it shouldn't be mistaken as such.  We will
  25    remove the old style "git merge <message> HEAD <commit>..."  syntax in
  26    future versions, but not in this release,
  27
  28  * "git merge -m <message> <branch>..." added the standard merge message
  29    on its own after user-supplied message, which should have overridden the
  30    standard one.
  31
  32 Other minor documentation updates are included.
