Apparently many people have been depending on this feature. * The short help text for "git filter-branch" command was a single long line, wrapped by terminals, and was hard to read. * The "recursive" strategy of "git merge" segfaulted when a merge has more than one merge-bases, and merging of these merge-bases involves a rename/rename or a rename/add conflict. * "git pull --rebase" did not use the right fork point when the repository has already fetched from the upstream that rewinds the branch it is based on in an earlier fetch. * Explain the concept of fast-forward more fully in "git push" documentation, and hint to refer to it from an error message when the command refuses an update to protect the user. * The default value for pack.deltacachesize, used by "git repack", is now 256M, instead of unbounded. Otherwise a repack of a moderately sized repository would needlessly eat into swap. * Document how "git repack" (hence "git gc") interacts with a repository that borrows its objects from other repositories (e.g. ones created by "git clone -s"). * "git show" on an annotated tag lacked a delimiting blank line between the tag itself and the contents of the object it tags. * "git verify-pack -v" erroneously reported number of objects with too deep delta depths as "chain length 0" objects. * Long names of authors and committers outside US-ASCII were sometimes incorrectly shown in "gitweb". Other minor documentation updates are included. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.6.4 are as follows: Björn Steinbrink (1): config: Keep inner whitespace verbatim Erik Faye-Lund (1): send-email: remove debug trace Jakub Narebski (1): gitweb/README: Document $base_url Jeff King (3): show: suppress extra newline when showing annotated tag show: add space between multiple items docs: describe impact of repack on "clone -s" Jens Lehmann (1): Documentation: git submodule: add missing options to synopsis Johan Herland (1): help.c: give correct structure's size to memset() Johannes Schindelin (1): filter-branch: add an example how to add ACKs to a range of commits Junio C Hamano (5): merge-recursive: don't segfault while handling rename clashes t5510: harden the way verify-pack is used verify-pack -v: do not report "chain length 0" am: allow individual e-mail files as input GIT 1.6.4.1 Mark A Rada (1): git-instaweb: fix mod_perl detection for apache2 Matthieu Moy (3): Better usage string for reflog. push: point to 'git pull' and 'git push --force' in case of non-fast forward filter-branch: make the usage string fit on 80 chars terminals.
