You had to say "d" and then ^C. * "git-checkout " did not update the index entry at the named path; it now does. * "git-fast-export" choked when seeing a tag that does not point at commit. * "git init" segfaulted when given an overlong template location via the --template= option. * "git-ls-tree" and "git-diff-tree" used a pathspec correctly when deciding to descend into a subdirectory but they did not match the individual paths correctly. This caused pathspecs "abc/d ab" to match "abc/0" ("abc/d" made them decide to descend into the directory "abc/", and then "ab" incorrectly matched "abc/0" when it shouldn't). * "git-merge-recursive" was broken when a submodule entry was involved in a criss-cross merge situation. Many small documentation updates are included as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.6.2.3 are as follows: Björn Steinbrink (1): tree_entry_interesting: a pathspec only matches at directory boundary Clemens Buchacher (3): add tests for merging with submodules update cache for conflicting submodule entries simplify output of conflicting merge Erik Faye-Lund (4): test-suite: adding a test for fast-export with tag variants builtin-fast-export.c: turn error into warning builtin-fast-export.c: fix crash on tagged trees builtin-fast-export.c: handle nested tags Frank Lichtenheld (1): init: Do not segfault on big GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable Jeff King (2): doc/gitattributes: clarify location of config text add-interactive: refactor mode hunk handling Johan Herland (1): Update docs on behaviour of 'core.sharedRepository' and 'git init --shared' Johannes Schindelin (1): Fix 'git checkout ' to update the index Johannes Sixt (1): t1301-shared-repo: fix forced modes test Junio C Hamano (3): match_tree_entry(): a pathspec only matches at directory boundaries Describe fixes since 1.6.2.3 GIT 1.6.2.4 Junio Hamano (1): Speed up reflog pruning of unreachable commits Linus Torvalds (1): Clean up reflog unreachability pruning decision Markus Heidelberg (2): doc/git-daemon: add missing arguments to options doc/git-daemon: add missing arguments to max-connections option Matthieu Moy (2): git add -p: new "quit" command at the prompt. Update git-add.txt according to the new possibilities of 'git add -p'. Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (1): Makefile: remove {fetch,send}-pack from PROGRAMS as they are builtins Paul Bolle (1): imap-send: use correct configuration variable in documentation Thomas Jarosch (1): Fix buffer overflow in config parser Ulrich Windl (1): git-apply: fix option description ``` ## David Miller, 2009-04-20 08:06 Subject: Re: [ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.6.2.4 Message-ID: <20090420.010657.07011402.davem@davemloft.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20090420.010657.07011402.davem%40davemloft.net In-Reply-To: <7v4owklyvx.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org> ``` From: Junio C Hamano Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2009 21:42:10 -0700 > The latest maintenance release GIT 1.6.2.4 is available at the > usual places: > > http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ > > git-1.6.2.4.tar.{gz,bz2} (source tarball) > git-htmldocs-1.6.2.4.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) > git-manpages-1.6.2.4.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) > > The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are found in: > > RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.6.2.4-1.fc9.$arch.rpm (RPM) > > This contains bunch of fixes that have already been merged to the master > branch in preparation for 1.6.3.

No, sorry and thanks for reminding me. Just forgot to push it out. ``` ## Thomas Jarosch, 2009-04-20 09:00 Subject: Re: [ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.6.2.4 Message-ID: <200904201100.21967.thomas.jarosch@intra2net.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/200904201100.21967.thomas.jarosch%40intra2net.com In-Reply-To: <7v1vrnloik.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org> ``` On Monday, 20.

Don't want to spoil the party, seems to be the same thing on repo.or.cz, that's where the "gitweb" link on "http://git-scm.com/download" points to. Maybe change the link to "http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git" ? Cheers, Thomas ```
