1.5.1.3

GIT v1.5.1.3 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.5.1.2 --------------------

• Bugfixes

• git-add tried to optimize by finding common leading directories across its arguments but botched, causing very confused behaviour.

• unofficial rpm.spec file shipped with git was letting ETC_GITCONFIG set to /usr/etc/gitconfig. Tweak the official Makefile to make it harder for distro people to make the same mistake, by setting the variable to /etc/gitconfig if prefix is set to /usr.

• git-svn inconsistently stripped away username from the URL only when svnsync_props was in use.

• git-svn got confused when handling symlinks on Mac OS.

• git-send-email was not quoting recipient names that have period ’.’ in them. Also it did not allow overriding envelope sender, which made it impossible to send patches to certain subscriber-only lists.

• built-in write_tree() routine had a sequence that renamed a file that is still open, which some systems did not like.

• when memory is very tight, sliding mmap code to read packfiles incorrectly closed the fd that was still being used to read the pack.

• import-tars contributed front-end for fastimport was passing wrong directory modes without checking.

• git-fastimport trusted its input too much and allowed to create corrupt tree objects with entries without a name.

• git-fetch needlessly barfed when too long reflog action description was given by the caller.

Also contains various documentation updates.
