Bugfixes
-
The implementation of -p option in "git cvsexportcommit" had the meaning of -C (context reduction) option wrong, and loosened the context requirements when it was told to be strict.
-
"git cvsserver" did not behave like the real cvsserver when client side removed a file from the working tree without doing anything else on the path. In such a case, it should restore it from the checked out revision.
-
"git fsck" issued an alarming error message on detached HEAD. It is not an error since at least 1.5.0.
-
"git send-email" produced of References header of unbounded length; fixed this with line-folding.
-
"git archive" to download from remote site should not require you to be in a git repository, but it incorrectly did.
-
"git apply" ignored -p<n> for "diff --git" formatted patches.
-
"git rerere" recorded a conflict that had one side empty (the other side adds) incorrectly; this made merging in the other direction fail to use previously recorded resolution.
-
t4200 test was broken where "wc -l" pads its output with spaces.
-
"git branch -m old new" to rename branch did not work without a configuration file in ".git/config".
-
The sample hook for notification e-mail was misnamed.
-
gitweb did not show type-changing patch correctly in the blobdiff view.
-
git-svn did not error out with incorrect command line options.
-
git-svn fell into an infinite loop when insanely long commit message was found.
-
git-svn dcommit and rebase was confused by patches that were merged from another branch that is managed by git-svn.
-
git-svn used to get confused when globbing remote branch/tag spec (e.g. "branches = proj/branches/:refs/remotes/origin/") is used and there was a plain file that matched the glob.
