It fixes a security issue, and users of\nolder 1.6.5.X series are strongly recommended to update to this version.\n\nGit v1.6.5.6 Release Notes\n==========================\n\nFixes since v1.6.5.5\n--------------------\n\n * \"git add -p\" had a regression since v1.6.5.3 that broke deletion of\n   non-empty files.\n\n * \"git archive -o o.zip -- Makefile\" produced an archive in o.zip\n   but in POSIX tar format.\n\n * Error message given to \"git pull --rebase\" when the user didn't give\n   enough clue as to what branch to integrate with still talked about\n   \"merging with\" the branch.\n\n * Error messages given by \"git merge\" when the merge resulted in a\n   fast-forward still were in plumbing lingo, even though in v1.6.5\n   we reworded messages in other cases.\n\n * The post-upload-hook run by upload-pack in response to \"git fetch\" has\n   been removed, due to security concerns (the hook first appeared in\n   1.6.5).\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nChanges since v1.6.5.5 are as follows:\n\nJan Krüger (1):\n      pull: clarify advice for the unconfigured error case\n\nJeff King (1):\n      add-interactive: fix deletion of non-empty files\n\nJunio C Hamano (3):\n      Remove post-upload-hook\n      Fix archive format with -- on the command line\n      Git 1.6.5.6\n\nMatthieu Moy (2):\n      merge-recursive: make the error-message generation an extern function\n      builtin-merge: show user-friendly error messages for fast-forward too.\n"}]}
