The latest maintenance release Git 1.6.5.6 is available at the usual places: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ git-1.6.5.6.tar.{gz,bz2} (source tarball) git-htmldocs-1.6.5.6.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) git-manpages-1.6.5.6.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are found in: RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.6.5.6-1.fc11.$arch.rpm (RPM) Hopefully this will be the last update to the 1.6.5.X series before the upcoming feature release (1.6.6). It fixes a security issue, and users of older 1.6.5.X series are strongly recommended to update to this version. Git v1.6.5.6 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.6.5.5 -------------------- * "git add -p" had a regression since v1.6.5.3 that broke deletion of non-empty files. * "git archive -o o.zip -- Makefile" produced an archive in o.zip but in POSIX tar format. * Error message given to "git pull --rebase" when the user didn't give enough clue as to what branch to integrate with still talked about "merging with" the branch. * Error messages given by "git merge" when the merge resulted in a fast-forward still were in plumbing lingo, even though in v1.6.5 we reworded messages in other cases. * The post-upload-hook run by upload-pack in response to "git fetch" has been removed, due to security concerns (the hook first appeared in 1.6.5). ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.6.5.5 are as follows: Jan Krüger (1): pull: clarify advice for the unconfigured error case Jeff King (1): add-interactive: fix deletion of non-empty files Junio C Hamano (3): Remove post-upload-hook Fix archive format with -- on the command line Git 1.6.5.6 Matthieu Moy (2): merge-recursive: make the error-message generation an extern function builtin-merge: show user-friendly error messages for fast-forward too. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
