1.6.0.4

GIT v1.6.0.4 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.6.0.3 --------------------

• ’git add -p’ said "No changes" when only binary files were changed.

• ’git archive’ did not work correctly in bare repositories.

• ’git checkout -t -b newbranch’ when you are on detached HEAD was broken.

• when we refuse to detect renames because there are too many new or deleted files, ’git diff’ did not say how many there are.

• ’git push --mirror’ tried and failed to push the stash; there is no point in sending it to begin with.

• ’git push’ did not update the remote tracking reference if the corresponding ref on the remote end happened to be already up to date.

• ’git pull $there $branch:$current_branch’ did not work when you were on a branch yet to be born.

• when giving up resolving a conflicted merge, ’git reset --hard’ failed to remove new paths from the working tree.

• ’git send-email’ had a small fd leak while scanning directory.

• ’git status’ incorrectly reported a submodule directory as an untracked directory.

• ’git svn’ used deprecated ’git-foo’ form of subcommand invocation.

• ’git update-ref -d’ to remove a reference did not honor --no-deref option.

• Plugged small memleaks here and there.

• Also contains many documentation updates.
