# 1.5.5.1

GIT v1.5.5.1 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.5.5 ------------------

- "git archive --prefix=\$path/" mishandled gitattributes.

<!-- -->

- "git fetch -v" that fetches into FETCH_HEAD did not report the summary the same way as done for updating the tracking refs.

<!-- -->

- "git svn" misbehaved when the configuration file customized the "git log" output format using format.pretty.

<!-- -->

- "git submodule status" leaked an unnecessary error message.

<!-- -->

- "git log --date-order --topo-order" did not override the earlier date-order with topo-order as expected.

<!-- -->

- "git bisect good \$this" did not check the validity of the revision given properly.

<!-- -->

- "url.\<there\>.insteadOf" did not work correctly.

<!-- -->

- "git clean" ran inside subdirectory behaved as if the directory was explicitly specified for removal by the end user from the top level.

<!-- -->

- "git bisect" from a detached head leaked an unnecessary error message.

<!-- -->

- "git bisect good \$a \$b" when \$a is Ok but \$b is bogus should have atomically failed before marking \$a as good.

<!-- -->

- "git fmt-merge-msg" did not clean up leading empty lines from commit log messages like "git log" family does.

<!-- -->

- "git am" recorded a commit with empty Subject: line without complaining.

<!-- -->

- when given a commit log message whose first paragraph consists of multiple lines, "git rebase" squashed it into a single line.

<!-- -->

- "git remote add \$bogus_name \$url" did not complain properly.

Also comes with various documentation updates.
