The latest maintenance release GIT 1.6.2.4 is available at the usual places: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ git-1.6.2.4.tar.{gz,bz2} (source tarball) git-htmldocs-1.6.2.4.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) git-manpages-1.6.2.4.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are found in: RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.6.2.4-1.fc9.$arch.rpm (RPM) This contains bunch of fixes that have already been merged to the master branch in preparation for 1.6.3. ---------------------------------------------------------------- GIT v1.6.2.4 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.6.2.3 -------------------- * The configuration parser had a buffer overflow while parsing an overlong value. * pruning reflog entries that are unreachable from the tip of the ref during "git reflog prune" (hence "git gc") was very inefficient. * "git-add -p" lacked a way to say "q"uit to refuse staging any hunks for the remaining paths. You had to say "d" and then ^C. * "git-checkout <tree-ish> <submodule>" did not update the index entry at the named path; it now does. * "git-fast-export" choked when seeing a tag that does not point at commit. * "git init" segfaulted when given an overlong template location via the --template= option. * "git-ls-tree" and "git-diff-tree" used a pathspec correctly when deciding to descend into a subdirectory but they did not match the individual paths correctly. This caused pathspecs "abc/d ab" to match "abc/0" ("abc/d" made them decide to descend into the directory "abc/", and then "ab" incorrectly matched "abc/0" when it shouldn't). * "git-merge-recursive" was broken when a submodule entry was involved in a criss-cross merge situation. Many small documentation updates are included as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.6.2.3 are as follows: Björn Steinbrink (1): tree_entry_interesting: a pathspec only matches at directory boundary Clemens Buchacher (3): add tests for merging with submodules update cache for conflicting submodule entries simplify output of conflicting merge Erik Faye-Lund (4): test-suite: adding a test for fast-export with tag variants builtin-fast-export.c: turn error into warning builtin-fast-export.c: fix crash on tagged trees builtin-fast-export.c: handle nested tags Frank Lichtenheld (1): init: Do not segfault on big GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable Jeff King (2): doc/gitattributes: clarify location of config text add-interactive: refactor mode hunk handling Johan Herland (1): Update docs on behaviour of 'core.sharedRepository' and 'git init --shared' Johannes Schindelin (1): Fix 'git checkout <submodule>' to update the index Johannes Sixt (1): t1301-shared-repo: fix forced modes test Junio C Hamano (3): match_tree_entry(): a pathspec only matches at directory boundaries Describe fixes since 1.6.2.3 GIT 1.6.2.4 Junio Hamano (1): Speed up reflog pruning of unreachable commits Linus Torvalds (1): Clean up reflog unreachability pruning decision Markus Heidelberg (2): doc/git-daemon: add missing arguments to options doc/git-daemon: add missing arguments to max-connections option Matthieu Moy (2): git add -p: new "quit" command at the prompt.
