1.5.2.1

GIT v1.5.2.1 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.5.2 ------------------

• Bugfixes

• Temporary files that are used when invoking external diff programs did not tolerate a long TMPDIR.

• git-daemon did not notice when it could not write into its pid file.

• git-status did not honor core.excludesFile configuration like git-add did.

• git-annotate did not work from a subdirectory while git-blame did.

• git-cvsserver should have disabled access to a repository with "gitcvs.pserver.enabled = false" set even when "gitcvs.enabled = true" was set at the same time. It didn’t.

• git-cvsimport did not work correctly in a repository with its branch heads were packed with pack-refs.

• ident unexpansion to squash "$Id: xxx $" that is in the repository copy removed incorrect number of bytes.

• git-svn misbehaved when the subversion repository did not provide MD5 checksums for files.

• git rebase (and git am) misbehaved on commits that have ’n’ (literally backslash and en, not a linefeed) in the title.

• code to decode base85 used in binary patches had one error return codepath wrong.

• RFC2047 Q encoding output by git-format-patch used ’_’ for a space, which is not understood by some programs. It uses =20 which is safer.

• git-fastimport --import-marks was broken; fixed.

• A lot of documentation updates, clarifications and fixes.
