1.6.5.8

Git v1.6.5.8 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.6.5.7 --------------------

• "git count-objects" did not handle packfiles that are bigger than 4G on platforms with 32-bit off_t.

• "git rebase -i" did not abort cleanly if it failed to launch the editor.

• "git blame" did not work well when commit lacked the author name.

• "git fast-import" choked when handling a tag that points at an object that is not a commit.

• "git reset --hard" did not work correctly when GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable is used to point at the root of the true work tree.

• "git grep" fed a buffer that is not NUL-terminated to underlying regexec().

• "git checkout -m other" while on a branch that does not have any commit segfaulted, instead of failing.

• "git branch -a other" should have diagnosed the command as an error.

Other minor documentation updates are also included.
