1.5.2.5

GIT v1.5.2.5 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.5.2.4 --------------------

• Bugfixes

• "git add -u" had a serious data corruption problem in one special case (when the changes to a subdirectory’s files consist only deletion of files).

• "git add -u <path>" did not work from a subdirectory.

• "git apply" left an empty directory after all its files are renamed away.

• "git $anycmd foo/bar", when there is a file ’foo’ in the working tree, complained that "git $anycmd foo/bar --" form should be used to disambiguate between revs and files, which was completely bogus.

• "git checkout-index" and other commands that checks out files to the work tree tried unlink(2) on directories, which is a sane thing to do on sane systems, but not on Solaris when you are root.

• Documentation Fixes and Updates

• A handful documentation fixes.
