The latest maintenance release Git 1.7.0.1 is available at the usual places: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ git-1.7.0.1.tar.{gz,bz2} (source tarball) git-htmldocs-1.7.0.1.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) git-manpages-1.7.0.1.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are found in: RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.7.0.1-1.fc11.$arch.rpm (RPM) Git v1.7.0.1 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.7.0 ------------------ * In a freshly created repository "rev-parse HEAD^0" complained that it is dangling symref, even though "rev-parse HEAD" didn't. * "git show :no-such-name" tried to access the index without bounds check, leading to a potential segfault. * Message from "git cherry-pick" was harder to read and use than necessary when it stopped due to conflicting changes. * We referred to ".git/refs/" throughout the documentation when we meant to talk about abstract notion of "ref namespace". Because people's repositories often have packed refs these days, this was confusing. * "git diff --output=/path/that/cannot/be/written" did not correctly error out. * "git grep -e -pattern-that-begin-with-dash paths..." could not be spelled as "git grep -- -pattern-that-begin-with-dash paths..." which would be a GNU way to use "--" as "end of options". * "git grep" compiled with threading support tried to access an uninitialized mutex on boxes with a single CPU. * "git stash pop -q --index" failed because the unnecessary --index option was propagated to "git stash drop" that is internally run at the end. And other minor fixes and documentation updates. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.7.0 are as follows: Bert Wesarg (2): Documentation: mention conflict marker size argument (%L) for merge driver rerere: fix memory leak if rerere images can't be read Evan Powers (1): git-p4: fix bug in symlink handling Jacob Helwig (1): Documentation: Fix indentation problem in git-commit(1) Jeff King (9): accept "git grep -- pattern" cherry-pick: rewrap advice message cherry-pick: refactor commit parsing code cherry-pick: format help message as strbuf cherry-pick: show commit name instead of sha1 cherry-pick: prettify the advice message dwim_ref: fix dangling symref warning docs: don't talk about $GIT_DIR/refs/ everywhere rm: fix bug in recursive subdirectory removal Johannes Sixt (1): t3301-notes: insert a shbang line in ./fake_editor.sh Jonathan Nieder (1): am: remove rebase-apply directory before gc Junio C Hamano (6): Typofixes outside documentation area Start 1.7.0 maintenance track Fix use of mutex in threaded grep Prepare 1.7.0.1 release notes Update 1.7.0.1 release notes Git 1.7.0.1 Larry D'Anna (1): diff: make sure --output=/bad/path is caught Mark Lodato (2): grep documentation: clarify what files match Remove reference to GREP_COLORS from documentation Markus Heidelberg (1): sha1_name: fix segfault caused by invalid index access Matt Kraai (1): commit: quote the user name in the example Pete Harlan (1): Remove hyphen from "git-command" in two error messages René Scharfe (1): fix minor memory leak in get_tree_entry() Stephen Boyd (1): Documentation: describe --thin more accurately Thomas Rast (2): stash pop: remove 'apply' options during 'drop' invocation t1450: fix testcases that were wrongly expecting failure -- 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
