1 | GIT v1.5.6.3 Release Notes |
2 | ========================== | |
3 | ||
4 | Fixes since v1.5.6.2 | |
5 | -------------------- | |
6 | ||
22e5e58a | 7 | * Setting core.sharedrepository to traditional "true" value was supposed to make |
191a8e32 JH |
8 | the repository group writable but should not affect permission for others. |
9 | However, since 1.5.6, it was broken to drop permission for others when umask is | |
10 | 022, making the repository unreadable by others. | |
11 | ||
e09c4e75 JH |
12 | * Setting GIT_TRACE will report spawning of external process via run_command(). |
13 | ||
191a8e32 JH |
14 | * Using an object with very deep delta chain pinned memory needed for extracting |
15 | intermediate base objects unnecessarily long, leading to excess memory usage. | |
16 | ||
e09c4e75 JH |
17 | * Bash completion script did not notice '--' marker on the command |
18 | line and tried the relatively slow "ref completion" even when | |
19 | completing arguments after one. | |
20 | ||
21 | * Registering a non-empty blob racily and then truncating the working | |
22 | tree file for it confused "racy-git avoidance" logic into thinking | |
23 | that the path is now unchanged. | |
24 | ||
191a8e32 JH |
25 | * The section that describes attributes related to git-archive were placed |
26 | in a wrong place in the gitattributes(5) manual page. | |
27 | ||
28 | * "git am" was not helpful to the users when it detected that the committer | |
29 | information is not set up properly yet. | |
30 | ||
e09c4e75 JH |
31 | * "git clone" had a leftover debugging fprintf(). |
32 | ||
33 | * "git clone -q" was not quiet enough as it used to and gave object count | |
34 | and progress reports. | |
35 | ||
36 | * "git clone" marked downloaded packfile with .keep; this could be a | |
37 | good thing if the remote side is well packed but otherwise not, | |
38 | especially for a project that is not really big. | |
39 | ||
191a8e32 JH |
40 | * "git daemon" used to call syslog() from a signal handler, which |
41 | could raise signals of its own but generally is not reentrant. This | |
42 | was fixed by restructuring the code to report syslog() after the handler | |
43 | returns. | |
e09c4e75 JH |
44 | |
45 | * When "git push" tries to remove a remote ref, and corresponding | |
46 | tracking ref is missing, we used to report error (i.e. failure to | |
47 | remove something that does not exist). | |
48 | ||
49 | * "git mailinfo" (hence "git am") did not handle commit log messages in a | |
50 | MIME multipart mail correctly. | |
51 | ||
52 | Contains other various documentation fixes. |
