The latest maintenance release GIT 1.6.2.2 is available at the usual places: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ git-1.6.2.2.tar.{gz,bz2} (source tarball) git-htmldocs-1.6.2.2.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) git-manpages-1.6.2.2.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are found in: RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.6.2.2-1.fc9.$arch.rpm (RPM) Mostly documentation updates with a few bugfixes. ---------------------------------------------------------------- GIT v1.6.2.2 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.6.2.1 -------------------- * A longstanding confusing description of what --pickaxe option of git-diff does has been clarified in the documentation. * "git-blame -S" did not quite work near the commits that were given on the command line correctly. * "git diff --pickaxe-regexp" did not count overlapping matches correctly. * "git diff" did not feed files in work-tree representation to external diff and textconv. * "git-fetch" in a repository that was not cloned from anywhere said it cannot find 'origin', which was hard to understand for new people. * "git-format-patch --numbered-files --stdout" did not have to die of incompatible options; it now simply ignores --numbered-files as no files are produced anyway. * "git-ls-files --deleted" did not work well with GIT_DIR&GIT_WORK_TREE. * "git-read-tree A B C..." without -m option has been broken for a long time. * git-send-email ignored --in-reply-to when --no-thread was given. * 'git-submodule add' did not tolerate extra slashes and ./ in the path it accepted from the command line; it now is more lenient. * git-svn misbehaved when the project contained a path that began with two dashes. * import-zips script (in contrib) did not compute the common directory prefix correctly. * miscompilation of negated enum constants by old gcc (2.9) affected the codepaths to spawn subprocesses. Many small documentation updates are included as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.6.2.1 are as follows: Allan Caffee (1): Documentation: update graph api example.
