GIT v1.6.0.3 Release Notes

Fixes since v1.6.0.2

  • "git archive --format=zip" did not honor core.autocrlf while --format=tar did.

  • Continuing "git rebase -i" was very confused when the user left modified files in the working tree while resolving conflicts.

  • Continuing "git rebase -i" was also very confused when the user left some staged changes in the index after "edit".

  • "git rebase -i" now honors the pre-rebase hook, just like the other rebase implementations "git rebase" and "git rebase -m".

  • "git rebase -i" incorrectly aborted when there is no commit to replay.

  • Behaviour of "git diff --quiet" was inconsistent with "diff --exit-code" with the output redirected to /dev/null.

  • "git diff --no-index" on binary files no longer outputs a bogus "diff --git" header line.

  • "git diff" hunk header patterns with multiple elements separated by LF were not used correctly.

  • Hunk headers in "git diff" default to using extended regular expressions, fixing some of the internal patterns on non-GNU platforms.

  • New config "diff.*.xfuncname" exposes extended regular expressions for user specified hunk header patterns.

  • "git gc" when ejecting otherwise unreachable objects from packfiles into loose form leaked memory.

  • "git index-pack" was recently broken and mishandled objects added by thin-pack completion processing under memory pressure.

  • "git index-pack" was recently broken and misbehaved when run from inside .git/objects/pack/ directory.

  • "git stash apply sash@{1}" was fixed to error out. Prior versions would have applied stash@{0} incorrectly.

  • "git stash apply" now offers a better suggestion on how to continue if the working tree is currently dirty.

  • "git for-each-ref --format=%(subject)" fixed for commits with no newline in the message body.

  • "git remote" fixed to protect printf from user input.

  • "git remote show -v" now displays all URLs of a remote.

  • "git checkout -b branch" was confused when branch already existed.

  • "git checkout -q" once again suppresses the locally modified file list.

  • "git clone -q", "git fetch -q" asks remote side to not send progress messages, actually making their output quiet.

  • Cross-directory renames are no longer used when creating packs. This allows more graceful behavior on filesystems like sshfs.

  • Stale temporary files under $GIT_DIR/objects/pack are now cleaned up automatically by "git prune".

  • "git merge" once again removes directories after the last file has been removed from it during the merge.

  • "git merge" did not allocate enough memory for the structure itself when enumerating the parents of the resulting commit.

  • "git blame -C -C" no longer segfaults while trying to pass blame if it encounters a submodule reference.

  • "git rm" incorrectly claimed that you have local modifications when a path was merely stat-dirty.

  • "git svn" fixed to display an error message when set-tree failed, instead of a Perl compile error.

  • "git submodule" fixed to handle checking out a different commit than HEAD after initializing the submodule.

  • The "git commit" error message when there are still unmerged files present was clarified to match "git write-tree".

  • "git init" was confused when core.bare or core.sharedRepository are set in system or user global configuration file by mistake. When --bare or --shared is given from the command line, these now override such settings made outside the repositories.

  • Some segfaults due to uncaught NULL pointers were fixed in multiple tools such as apply, reset, update-index.

  • Solaris builds now default to OLD_ICONV=1 to avoid compile warnings; Solaris 8 does not define NEEDS_LIBICONV by default.

  • "Git.pm" tests relied on unnecessarily more recent version of Perl.

  • "gitweb" triggered undef warning on commits without log messages.

  • "gitweb" triggered undef warnings on missing trees.

  • "gitweb" now removes PATH_INFO from its URLs so users don’t have to manually set the URL in the gitweb configuration.

  • Bash completion removed support for legacy "git-fetch", "git-push" and "git-pull" as these are no longer installed. Dashless form ("git fetch") is still however supported.

Many other documentation updates.
