This should work with both servers running older git where you +had all of these programs installed on $PATH, or newer git where you have +only "git" on $PATH. However, if the remote side is running a custom +software that restricts programs you can run over ssh, it might cause +problems. Use --upload-pack="git-upload-pack" (when using ls-remote, +fetch and pull on the client side), --receive-pack="git-receive-pack" +(when using push on the client side), or --exec="git-upload-archive" (when +using git-archive) as appropriate when talking to such a remote. + +Source changes needed for porting to MinGW environment are now all in the +main git.git codebase. + + +Updates since v1.5.6 +-------------------- + +(subsystems) + +(portability) + +* Sample hook scripts shipped in templates/ are now suffixed with + *.sample. We used to prevent them from triggering by default by + relying on the fact that we install them as unexecutable, but on + some filesystems this approach does not work. Instead of running + "chmod +x" on them, the users who want to activate these samples + as-is can now rename them dropping *.sample suffix. + +* perl's in-place edit (-i) does not work well without backup files on Windows; + some tests are rewritten to cope with this. + +(documentation) + +* Updated howto/update-hook-example + +(performance, robustness etc.) + +* reduced excessive inlining to shrink size of the "git" binary. + +* verify-pack checks the object CRC when using version 2 idx files. + +* When an object is corrupt in a pack, the object became unusable even + when the same object is available in a loose form, We now try harder to + fall back to these redundant objects when able. In particular, "git + repack -a -f" can be used to fix such a corruption as long as necessary + objects are available. + +* git-clone does not create refs in loose form anymore (it behaves as + if you immediately ran git-pack-refs after cloning). This will help + repositories with insanely large number of refs. + +* core.fsyncobjectfiles configuration can be used to ensure that the loose + objects created will be fsync'ed (this is only useful on filesystems + that does not order data writes properly). + +(usability, bells and whistles) + +* git-archive can be told to omit certain paths from its output using + export-ignore attributes. + +* fast-export learned to export and import marks file; this can be used to + interface with fast-import incrementally. + +* Original SHA-1 value for "update-ref -d" is optional now. + +* You can tell "git status -u" to even more aggressively omit checking + untracked files with --untracked-files=no. + +* Error codes from gitweb are made more descriptive where possible, rather + than "403 forbidden" as we used to issue everywhere. + +(internal) + + +Fixes since v1.5.6 +------------------ + +All of the fixes in v1.5.6 maintenance series are included in +this release, unless otherwise noted. + + * diff -c/--cc showed unnecessary "deletion" lines at the context + boundary (needs backmerge to maint). + + * "git-clone <src> <dst>" did not create leading directories for <dst> + like the scripted version used to do (needs backport to maint). + +--- +exec >/var/tmp/1 +O=v1.5.6.1-77-gf9a08f6 +echo O=$(git describe refs/heads/master) +git shortlog --no-merges $O..refs/heads/master ^refs/heads/maint @@ -1 +1 @@ -Documentation/RelNotes-1.5.6.1.txt
