GIT v1.6.3.4 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.6.3.3 -------------------- * "git add --no-ignore-errors" did not override configured add.ignore-errors configuration. * "git apply --whitespace=fix" did not fix trailing whitespace on an incomplete line. * "git branch" opened too many commit objects unnecessarily. * "git checkout -f $commit" with a path that is a file (or a symlink) in the work tree to a commit that has a directory at the path issued an unnecessary error message. * "git diff -c/--cc" was very inefficient in coalescing the removed lines shared between parents. * "git diff -c/--cc" showed removed lines at the beginning of a file incorrectly. * "git remote show nickname" did not honor configured remote.nickname.uploadpack when inspecting the branches at the remote. * "git request-pull" when talking to the terminal for a preview showed some of the output in the pager. * "git request-pull start nickname [end]" did not honor configured remote.nickname.uploadpack when it ran git-ls-remote against the remote repository to learn the current tip of branches. Includes other documentation updates and minor fixes. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.6.3.3 are as follows: Brandon Casey (2): refs.c: release file descriptor on error return sha1_name.c: avoid unnecessary strbuf_release Chris Frey (1): git-remote: fix missing .uploadpack usage for show command Clemens Buchacher (1): fetch: do not create ref from empty name Giuseppe Bilotta (1): gitweb/README: fix AliasMatch in example Johannes Sixt (2): t3700-add: add a POSIXPERM prerequisite to a new test Makefile: git.o depends on library headers Junio C Hamano (9): request-pull: really disable pager checkout -f: deal with a D/F conflict entry correctly combine-diff.c: fix performance problem when folding common deleted lines diff --cc: a lost line at the beginning of the file is shown incorrectly do_one_ref(): null_sha1 check is not about broken ref SunOS grep does not understand -C nor -e Fix severe breakage in "git-apply --whitespace=fix" t8005: Nobody writes Russian in shift_jis GIT 1.6.3.4 Linus Torvalds (3): git branch: fix performance problem git branch: avoid unnecessary object lookups git branch: clean up detached branch handling Matthias Andree (1): Fix export_marks() error handling.
