1 GIT v1.5.6.3 Release Notes
2 ==========================
7 * Setting GIT_TRACE will report spawning of external process via run_command().
9 * Bash completion script did not notice '--' marker on the command
10 line and tried the relatively slow "ref completion" even when
11 completing arguments after one.
13 * Registering a non-empty blob racily and then truncating the working
14 tree file for it confused "racy-git avoidance" logic into thinking
15 that the path is now unchanged.
17 * "git clone" had a leftover debugging fprintf().
19 * "git clone -q" was not quiet enough as it used to and gave object count
22 * "git clone" marked downloaded packfile with .keep; this could be a
23 good thing if the remote side is well packed but otherwise not,
24 especially for a project that is not really big.
26 * The section that describes attributes related to git-archive were placed
27 in a wrong place in the gitattributes(5) manual page.
29 * When "git push" tries to remove a remote ref, and corresponding
30 tracking ref is missing, we used to report error (i.e. failure to
31 remove something that does not exist).
33 * "git mailinfo" (hence "git am") did not handle commit log messages in a
34 MIME multipart mail correctly.
36 Contains other various documentation fixes.
