| 1 | +Git v2.6.4 Release Notes |
| 2 | +======================== |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +Fixes since v2.6.3 |
| 5 | +------------------ |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | + * The "configure" script did not test for -lpthread correctly, which |
| 8 | + upset some linkers. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | + * Add support for talking http/https over socks proxy. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | + * Portability fix for Windows, which may rewrite $SHELL variable using |
| 13 | + non-POSIX paths. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | + * We now consistently allow all hooks to ignore their standard input, |
| 16 | + rather than having git complain of SIGPIPE. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | + * Fix shell quoting in contrib script. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | + * Test portability fix for a topic in v2.6.1. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | + * Allow tilde-expansion in some http config variables. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | + * Give a useful special case "diff/show --word-diff-regex=." as an |
| 25 | + example in the documentation. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | + * Fix for a corner case in filter-branch. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + * Make git-p4 work on a detached head. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | + * Documentation clarification for "check-ignore" without "--verbose". |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | + * Just like the working tree is cleaned up when the user cancelled |
| 34 | + submission in P4Submit.applyCommit(), clean up the mess if "p4 |
| 35 | + submit" fails. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | + * Having a leftover .idx file without corresponding .pack file in |
| 38 | + the repository hurts performance; "git gc" learned to prune them. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + * The code to prepare the working tree side of temporary directory |
| 41 | + for the "dir-diff" feature forgot that symbolic links need not be |
| 42 | + copied (or symlinked) to the temporary area, as the code already |
| 43 | + special cases and overwrites them. Besides, it was wrong to try |
| 44 | + computing the object name of the target of symbolic link, which may |
| 45 | + not even exist or may be a directory. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code |
| 48 | +clean-ups. |
