Bugfixes
-
"git add -u" had a serious data corruption problem in one special case (when the changes to a subdirectory’s files consist only deletion of files).
-
"git add -u <path>" did not work from a subdirectory.
-
"git apply" left an empty directory after all its files are renamed away.
-
"git $anycmd foo/bar", when there is a file foo in the working tree, complained that "git $anycmd foo/bar --" form should be used to disambiguate between revs and files, which was completely bogus.
-
"git checkout-index" and other commands that checks out files to the work tree tried unlink(2) on directories, which is a sane thing to do on sane systems, but not on Solaris when you are root.
