Subject[ANNOUNCE] Git 1.6.5.4
From
Date
The latest maintenance release Git 1.6.5.4 is available at the
usual places:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

git-1.6.5.4.tar.{gz,bz2} (source tarball)
git-htmldocs-1.6.5.4.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs)
git-manpages-1.6.5.4.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs)

The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are found in:

RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.6.5.4-1.fc11.$arch.rpm (RPM)

Contains some minor fixes that have been accumulated; all of them
appear in the upcoming 1.6.6 release as well.

This should fix the problem that man pages formatted on FC11 boxes are
littered with "man.base.url.for.relative.link" strings reported earlier
today.

Git v1.6.5.4 Release Notes
==========================

Fixes since v1.6.5.3
--------------------

* "git help" (without argument) used to check if you are in a directory
under git control. There was no breakage in behaviour per-se, but this
was unnecessary.

* "git prune-packed" gave progress output even when its standard error is
not connected to a terminal; this caused cron jobs that run it to
produce crufts.

* "git pack-objects --all-progress" is an option to ask progress output
from write-object phase _if_ progress output were to be produced, and
shouldn't have forced the progress output.

* "git apply -p<n> --directory=<elsewhere>" did not work well for a
non-default value of n.

* "git merge foo HEAD" was misparsed as an old-style invocation of the
command and produced a confusing error message. As it does not specify
any other branch to merge, it shouldn't be mistaken as such. We will
remove the old style "git merge <message> HEAD <commit>..." syntax in
future versions, but not in this release,

* "git merge -m <message> <branch>..." added the standard merge message
on its own after user-supplied message, which should have overrided the
standard one.

Other minor documentation updates are included.
