GIT v1.6.4.3 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.6.4.2 -------------------- * "git clone" from an empty repository gave unnecessary error message, even though it did everything else correctly. * "git cvsserver" invoked git commands via "git-foo" style, which has long been deprecated. * "git fetch" and "git clone" had an extra sanity check to verify the presence of the corresponding *.pack file before downloading *.idx file by issuing a HEAD request. Github server however sometimes gave 500 (Internal server error) response to HEAD even if a GET request for *.pack file to the same URL would have succeeded, and broke clone over HTTP from some of their repositories. As a workaround, this verification has been removed (as it is not absolutely necessary). * "git grep" did not like relative pathname to refer outside the current directory when run from a subdirectory. * an error message from "git push" was formatted in a very ugly way. * "git svn" did not quote the subversion user name correctly when running its author-prog helper program. Other minor documentation updates are included.
