However the code on the "git push" sender side was + buggy and did not work when repository B had new objects that are not + known by the sender. This caused pushing into a "forked" repository + served by v1.6.1 software using "git push" from v1.6.1 sometimes did not + work. The bug was purely on the "git push" sender side, and has been + corrected. + +* "git status -v" did not paint its diff output in colour even when + color.ui configuration was set. + +* "git ls-tree" learned --full-tree option to help Porcelain scripts that + want to always see the full path regardless of the current working + directory. + +* "git grep" incorrectly searched in work tree paths even when they are + marked as assume-unchanged. It now searches in the index entries. + +* "git gc" with no grace period needlessly ejected packed but unreachable + objects in their loose form, only to delete them right away. |
