1.6.5.6

Git v1.6.5.6 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.6.5.5 --------------------

• "git add -p" had a regression since v1.6.5.3 that broke deletion of non-empty files.

• "git archive -o o.zip — Makefile" produced an archive in o.zip but in POSIX tar format.

• Error message given to "git pull --rebase" when the user didn’t give enough clue as to what branch to integrate with still talked about "merging with" the branch.

• Error messages given by "git merge" when the merge resulted in a fast-forward still were in plumbing lingo, even though in v1.6.5 we reworded messages in other cases.

• The post-upload-hook run by upload-pack in response to "git fetch" has been removed, due to security concerns (the hook first appeared in 1.6.5).
