The latest maintenance release GIT 1.5.4.2 is available at the usual places: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ git-1.5.4.2.tar.{gz,bz2} (tarball) git-htmldocs-1.5.4.2.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) git-manpages-1.5.4.2.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.5.4.2-1.$arch.rpm (RPM) ---------------------------------------------------------------- GIT v1.5.4.2 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.5.4 ------------------ * The configuration parser was not prepared to see string valued variables misspelled as boolean and segfaulted. * Temporary files left behind due to interrupted object transfers were not cleaned up with "git prune". * "git config --unset" was confused when the unset variables were spelled with continuation lines in the config file. * The merge message detection in "git cvsimport" did not catch a message that began with "Merge...". * "git status" suggests "git rm --cached" for unstaging the earlier "git add" before the initial commit. * "git status" output was incorrect during a partial commit. * "git bisect" refused to start when the HEAD was detached. * "git bisect" allowed a wildcard character in the commit message expanded while writing its log file. * Manual pages were not formatted correctly with docbook xsl 1.72; added a workaround. * "git-commit -C $tag" used to work but rewrite in C done in 1.5.4 broke it. This was fixed in 1.5.4.1. * An entry in the .gitattributes file that names a pattern in a subdirectory of the directory it is in did not match correctly (e.g. pattern "b/*.c" in "a/.gitattributes" should match "a/b/foo.c" but it didn't). This was fixed in 1.5.4.1. * Customized color specification was parsed incorrectly when numeric color values are used. This was fixed in 1.5.4.1. * http transport misbehaved when linked with curl-gnutls. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.5.4.1 are as follows: Christian Couder (8): config: add test cases for empty value and no value config variables. diff.c: replace a 'strdup' with 'xstrdup'. diff.c: remove useless check for value != NULL config: add 'git_config_string' to refactor string config variables.
