The latest maintenance release GIT 1.5.1.6 is available at the usual places: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ git-1.5.1.6.tar.{gz,bz2} (tarball) git-htmldocs-1.5.1.6.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) git-manpages-1.5.1.6.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.5.1.6-1.$arch.rpm (RPM) The release notes are relative to 1.5.1.4, as 1.5.1.5 was very short-lived. GIT v1.5.1.6 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.5.1.4 -------------------- * Bugfixes - git-send-email did not understand aliases file for mutt, which allows leading whitespaces. - git-format-patch emitted Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding headers for non ASCII contents, but failed to add MIME-Version. - git-name-rev had a buffer overrun with a deep history. - contributed script import-tars did not get the directory in tar archives interpreted correctly. - git-svn was reported to segfault for many people on list and #git; hopefully this has been fixed. - git-svn also had a bug to crash svnserve by sending a bad sequence of requests. - "git-svn clone" does not try to minimize the URL (i.e. connect to higher level hierarchy) by default, as this can prevent clone to fail if only part of the repository (e.g. 'trunk') is open to public. - "git checkout branch^0" did not detach the head when you are already on 'branch'; backported the fix from the 'master'. - "git-config section.var" did not correctly work when existing configuration file had both [section] and [section "name"] next to each other. - "git clone ../other-directory" was fooled if the current directory $PWD points at is a symbolic link. - (build) tree_entry_extract() function was both static inline and extern, which caused trouble compiling with Forte12 compilers on Sun. - Many many documentation fixes and updates. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.5.1.4 are as follows: Alex Riesen (1): Allow fetching references from any namespace Andy Whitcroft (1): git name-rev writes beyond the end of malloc() with large generations Eric Wong (6): git-svn: don't drop the username from URLs when dcommit is run git-svn: clean up caching of SVN::Ra functions git-svn: fix segfaults due to initial SVN pool being cleared git-svn: don't attempt to minimize URLs by default git-svn: avoid crashing svnserve when creating new directories git-svn: don't minimize-url when doing an init that tracks multiple paths Frank Lichtenheld (3): builtin-log.c: Fix typo in comment Documentation: format-patch has no --mbox option git-am: Clean up the asciidoc documentation J.
