The latest maintenance release Git 1.7.6.1 is available at the usual places: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ git-1.7.6.1.tar.{gz,bz2} (source tarball) git-htmldocs-1.7.6.1.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) git-manpages-1.7.6.1.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are found in: RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.7.6.1-1.fc13.$arch.rpm (RPM) Git v1.7.6.1 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.7.6 ------------------ * Various codepaths that invoked zlib deflate/inflate assumed that these functions can compress or uncompress more than 4GB data in one call on platforms with 64-bit long, which has been corrected. * "git unexecutable" reported that "unexecutable" was not found, even though the actual error was that "unexecutable" was found but did not have a proper she-bang line to be executed. * Error exits from $PAGER were silently ignored. * "git checkout -b <branch>" was confused when attempting to create a branch whose name ends with "-g" followed by hexadecimal digits, and refused to work. * "git checkout -b <branch>" sometimes wrote a bogus reflog entry, causing later "git checkout -" to fail. * "git diff --cc" learned to correctly ignore binary files. * "git diff -c/--cc" mishandled a deletion that resolves a conflict, and looked in the working tree instead. * "git fast-export" forgot to quote pathnames with unsafe characters in its output. * "git fetch" over smart-http transport used to abort when the repository was updated between the initial connection and the subsequent object transfer. * "git fetch" did not recurse into submodules in subdirectories. * "git ls-tree" did not error out when asked to show a corrupt tree. * "git pull" without any argument left an extra whitespace after the command name in its reflog. * "git push --quiet" was not really quiet. * "git rebase -i -p" incorrectly dropped commits from side branches. * "git reset [<commit>] paths..." did not reset the index entry correctly for unmerged paths. * "git submodule add" did not allow a relative repository path when the superproject did not have any default remote url. * "git submodule foreach" failed to correctly give the standard input to the user-supplied command it invoked. * submodules that the user has never showed interest in by running "git submodule init" was incorrectly marked as interesting by "git submodule sync". * "git submodule update --quiet" was not really quiet. * "git tag -l <glob>..." did not take multiple glob patterns from the command line. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.7.6 are as follows: Alex Neronskiy (2): Fix documentation of fetch-pack that implies that the client can disconnect after sending wants. Document the underlying protocol used by shallow repositories and --depth commands. Andrew Wong (1): rebase -i -p: include non-first-parent commits in todo list Bert Wesarg (1): Documentation: clearly specify what refs are honored by core.logAllRefUpdates Brandon Casey (2): t/t7407: demonstrate that the command called by 'submodule foreach' loses stdin git-submodule.sh: preserve stdin for the command spawned by foreach Brian Harring (1): get_indexed_object can return NULL if nothing is in that slot; check for it Carlos Martín Nieto (1): Documentation: clarify the invalidated tree entry format Clemens Buchacher (3): error_routine: use parent's stderr if exec fails propagate --quiet to send-pack/receive-pack notice error exit from pager Dmitry Ivankov (1): doc/fast-import: clarify notemodify command Emilio G. Cota (2): Documentation: ignore *.pdf files Documentation/Makefile: add *.pdf to `clean' target Erik Faye-Lund (1): connect: correctly number ipv6 network adapter Fredrik Kuivinen (1): Makefile: Track changes to LDFLAGS and relink when necessary Heiko Voigt (2): add gitignore entry to description about how to write a builtin add technical documentation about ref iteration Jack Nagel (1): Documentation: minor grammatical fix in rev-list-options.txt Jakub Narebski (2): gitweb: Serve text/* 'blob_plain' as text/plain with $prevent_xss gitweb: Serve */*+xml 'blob_plain' as text/plain with $prevent_xss Jeff King (10): combine-diff: split header printing into its own function combine-diff: calculate mode_differs earlier combine-diff: handle binary files as binary refactor get_textconv to not require diff_filespec combine-diff: respect textconv attributes tag: accept multiple patterns for --list docs: document --textconv diff option t7400: fix bogus test failure with symlinked trash fast-export: quote paths in output am: refresh the index at start and --resolved Jens Lehmann (7): submodule add: test failure when url is not configured in superproject submodule add: allow relative repository path even when no url is set submodule add: clean up duplicated code fetch: Also fetch submodules in subdirectories in on-demand mode submodule add: always initialize .git/config entry tests: print failed test numbers at the end of the test run submodule: update and add must honor --quiet flag Johannes Schindelin (1): get_pwd_cwd(): Do not trust st_dev/st_ino blindly Jon Seymour (2): Add a test to check that git ls-tree sets non-zero exit code on error. Ensure git ls-tree exits with a non-zero exit code if read_tree_recursive fails. Julian Phillips (1): remote-curl: Add a format check to parsing of info/refs Junio C Hamano (29): diff-index --quiet: learn the "stop feeding the backend early" logic checkout -b <name>: correctly detect existing branch sha1_file.c: "legacy" is really the current format zlib wrapper: refactor error message formatter zlib: wrap remaining calls to direct inflate/inflateEnd zlib: wrap inflateInit2 used to accept only for gzip format zlib: wrap deflate side of the API zlib: wrap deflateBound() too zlib: zlib can only process 4GB at a time zlib: allow feeding more than 4GB in one go t/gitweb-lib.sh: skip gitweb tests when perl dependencies are not met cygwin: trust executable bit by default git-remote.txt: avoid sounding as if loose refs are the only ones in the world check-ref-format doc: de-emphasize the implementation detail of a ref git.txt: de-emphasize the implementation detail of a ref glossary: update description of "tag" glossary: update description of head and ref glossary: clarify description of HEAD submodule sync: do not auto-vivify uninteresting submodule "branch -d" can remove more than one branches test: skip clean-up when running under --immediate mode checkout: do not write bogus reflog entry out reset [<commit>] paths...: do not mishandle unmerged paths diff -c/--cc: do not mistake "resolved as deletion" as "use working tree" receive-pack: do not overstep command line argument array helping smart-http/stateless-rpc fetch race Prepare for 1.7.6.1 Update draft release notes for 1.7.6.1 Git 1.7.6.1 Martin von Zweigbergk (2): Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sections rebase: clarify "restore the original branch" Michael Haggerty (6): git-svn: Demonstrate a bug with root commits in mergeinfo ranges git-svn: Disambiguate rev-list arguments to improve error message git-svn: Correctly handle root commits in mergeinfo ranges gitattributes: Clarify discussion of attribute macros gitattributes: Reword "attribute macro" to "macro attribute" Do not use C++-style comments Michael Schubert (1): help_unknown_cmd: do not propose an "unknown" cmd Michael Witten (1): filter-branch: Export variable `workdir' for --commit-filter Namhyung Kim (1): git-remote.txt: fix wrong remote refspec Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (3): Break down no-lstat() condition checks in verify_uptodate() checkout-index: remove obsolete comment fetch-pack: check for valid commit from server Ori Avtalion (1): pull: remove extra space from reflog message Pavan Kumar Sunkara (1): git-config: Remove extra whitespaces Peter Collingbourne (1): Documentation: git-filter-branch honors replacement refs -- 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
