RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.5.6.4-1.fc9.$arch.rpm (RPM) GIT v1.5.6.4 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.5.6.3 -------------------- * Various commands could overflow its internal buffer on a platform with small PATH_MAX value in a repository that has contents with long pathnames. * There wasn't a way to make --pretty=format:%<> specifiers to honor .mailmap name rewriting for authors and committers. Now you can with %aN and %cN. * Bash completion wasted too many cycles; this has been optimized to be usable again. * Bash completion lost ref part when completing something like "git show pu:Makefile". * "git-cvsserver" did not clean up its temporary working area after annotate request. * "git-daemon" called syslog() from its signal handler, which was a no-no. * "git-fetch" into an empty repository used to remind that the fetch will be huge by saying "no common commits", but this was an unnecessary noise; it is already known by the user anyway. * "git-http-fetch" would have segfaulted when pack idx file retrieved from the other side was corrupt. * "git-index-pack" used too much memory when dealing with a deep delta chain. * "git-mailinfo" (hence "git-am") did not correctly handle in-body [PATCH] line to override the commit title taken from the mail Subject header. * "git-rebase -i -p" lost parents that are not involved in the history being rewritten. * "git-rm" lost track of where the index file was when GIT_DIR was specified as a relative path. * "git-rev-list --quiet" was not quiet as advertised. Contains other various documentation fixes. -- 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
