The latest maintenance release GIT 1.5.0.1 is available at the usual places: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ git-1.5.0.1.tar.{gz,bz2} (tarball) git-htmldocs-1.5.0.1.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) git-manpages-1.5.0.1.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.5.0.1-1.$arch.rpm (RPM) GIT v1.5.0.1 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.5.0 ------------------ * Documentation updates - Clarifications and corrections to 1.5.0 release notes. - The main documentation did not link to git-remote documentation. - Clarified introductory text of git-rebase documentation. - Converted remaining mentions of update-index on Porcelain documents to git-add/git-rm. - Some i18n.* configuration variables were incorrectly described as core.*; fixed. * Bugfixes - git-add and git-update-index on a filesystem on which executable bits are unreliable incorrectly reused st_mode bits even when the path changed between symlink and regular file. - git-daemon marks the listening sockets with FD_CLOEXEC so that it won't be leaked into the children. - segfault from git-blame when the mandatory pathname parameter was missing was fixed; usage() message is given instead. - git-rev-list did not read $GIT_DIR/config file, which means that did not honor i18n.logoutputencoding correctly. * Tweaks - sliding mmap() inefficiently mmaped the same region of a packfile with an access pattern that used objects in the reverse order. This has been made more efficient. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.5.0 are as follows (gitk changes were already in v1.5.0 -- listed below are the commits that came through Paul's official gitk repository): Alexandre Julliard (2): git-daemon: Avoid leaking the listening sockets into child processes. sha1_file.c: Round the mmap offset to half the window size. Fredrik Kuivinen (2): Read the config in rev-list Documentation/i18n.txt: it is i18n.commitencoding not core.commitencoding Junio C Hamano (15): Documentation: Drop full-stop from git-fast-import title. cmd-list: add git-remote Makefile: update check-docs target Clarify two backward incompatible repository options.
