Git v1.6.5.3 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.6.5.2 -------------------- * info/grafts file didn't ignore trailing CR at the end of lines. * Packages generated on newer FC were unreadable by older versions of RPM as the new default is to use stronger hash. * output from "git blame" was unreadable when the file ended in an incomplete line. * "git add -i/-p" didn't handle deletion of empty files correctly. * "git clone" takes up to two parameters, but did not complain when given more arguments than necessary and silently ignored them. * "git cvsimport" did not read files given as command line arguments correctly when it is run from a subdirectory. * "git diff --color-words -U0" didn't work correctly. * The handling of blank lines at the end of file by "git diff/apply --whitespace" was inconsistent with the other kinds of errors. They are now colored, warned against, and fixed the same way as others. * There was no way to allow blank lines at the end of file without allowing extra blanks at the end of lines. You can use blank-at-eof and blank-at-eol whitespace error class to specify them separately. The old trailing-space error class is now a short-hand to set both. * "-p" option to "git format-patch" was supposed to suppress diffstat generation, but it was broken since 1.6.1. * "git imap-send" did not compile cleanly with newer OpenSSL. * "git help -a" outside of a git repository was broken. * "git ls-files -i" was supposed to be inverse of "git ls-files" without -i with respect to exclude patterns, but it was broken since 1.6.5.2. * "git ls-remote" outside of a git repository over http was broken. * "git rebase -i" gave bogus error message when the command word was misspelled. * "git receive-pack" that is run in response to "git push" did not run garbage collection nor update-server-info, but in larger hosting sites, these almost always need to be run. To help site administrators, the command now runs "gc --auto" and "u-s-i" by setting receive.autogc and receive.updateserverinfo configuration variables, respectively. * Release notes spelled the package name with incorrect capitalization. * "gitweb" did not escape non-ascii characters correctly in the URL. * "gitweb" showed "patch" link even for merge commits. * "gitweb" showed incorrect links for blob line numbers in pathinfo mode. Other minor documentation updates are included.
