The latest maintenance release GIT 1.6.0.5 is available at the usual places: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ git-1.6.0.5.tar.{gz,bz2} (source tarball) git-htmldocs-1.6.0.5.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) git-manpages-1.6.0.5.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are also provided as courtesy. RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.6.0.5-1.fc9.$arch.rpm (RPM) Although we are into 1.6.1-rc cycle, we have accumulated enough fixes to warrant a new maintenance release, so here it is. ---------------------------------------------------------------- GIT v1.6.0.5 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.6.0.4 -------------------- * "git checkout" used to crash when your HEAD was pointing at a deleted branch. * "git checkout" from an un-checked-out state did not allow switching out of the current branch. * "git diff" always allowed GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF and --no-ext-diff was no-op for the command. * Giving 3 or more tree-ish to "git diff" is supposed to show the combined diff from second and subsequent trees to the first one, but the order was screwed up. * "git fast-export" did not export all tags. * "git ls-files --with-tree=<tree>" did not work with options other than -c, most notably with -m. * "git pack-objects" did not make its best effort to honor --max-pack-size option when a single first object already busted the given limit and placed many objects in a single pack. * "git-p4" fast import frontend was too eager to trigger its keyword expansion logic, even on a keyword-looking string that does not have closing '$' on the same line. * "git push $there" when the remote $there is defined in $GIT_DIR/branches/$there behaves more like what cg-push from Cogito used to work. * when giving up resolving a conflicted merge, "git reset --hard" failed to remove new paths from the working tree. * "git tag" did not complain when given mutually incompatible set of options. * The message constructed in the internal editor was discarded when "git tag -s" failed to sign the message, which was often caused by the user not configuring GPG correctly. * "make check" cannot be run without sparse; people may have meant to say "make test" instead, so suggest that. * Internal diff machinery had a corner case performance bug that choked on a large file with many repeated contents. * "git repack" used to grab objects out of packs marked with .keep into a new pack. * Many unsafe call to sprintf() style varargs functions are corrected. * Also contains quite a few documentation updates. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.6.0.4 are as follows: Alexandre Julliard (2): checkout: Don't crash when switching away from an invalid branch. git-submodule: Avoid printing a spurious message.

Teach ls-files --with-tree=<tree> to work with options other than -c Teach "git diff" to honour --[no-]ext-diff Update draft release notes to 1.6.0.5 GIT 1.6.0.5 Linus Torvalds (1): date/time: do not get confused by fractional seconds Martin Koegler (1): git push: Interpret $GIT_DIR/branches in a Cogito compatible way Matt Kraai (1): Remove the period after the git-check-attr summary Matt McCutchen (3): config.txt: alphabetize configuration sections git checkout: don't warn about unborn branch if -f is already passed "git diff <tree>{3,}": do not reverse order of arguments Miklos Vajna (3): Add new testcase to show fast-export does not always exports all tags User's Manual: remove duplicated url at the end of Appendix B http.c: use 'git_config_string' to get 'curl_http_proxy' Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (1): generate-cmdlist.sh: avoid selecting synopsis at wrong place Nicolas Pitre (1): Fix pack.packSizeLimit and --max-pack-size handling Pete Wyckoff (1): git-p4: fix keyword-expansion regex Ralf Wildenhues (1): Fix typos in the documentation.
