This should fix the problem that man pages formatted on FC11 boxes are littered with "man.base.url.for.relative.link" strings reported earlier today. Git v1.6.5.4 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.6.5.3 -------------------- * "git help" (without argument) used to check if you are in a directory under git control. There was no breakage in behaviour per-se, but this was unnecessary. * "git prune-packed" gave progress output even when its standard error is not connected to a terminal; this caused cron jobs that run it to produce crufts. * "git pack-objects --all-progress" is an option to ask progress output from write-object phase _if_ progress output were to be produced, and shouldn't have forced the progress output. * "git apply -p --directory=" did not work well for a non-default value of n. * "git merge foo HEAD" was misparsed as an old-style invocation of the command and produced a confusing error message. As it does not specify any other branch to merge, it shouldn't be mistaken as such. We will remove the old style "git merge HEAD ..." syntax in future versions, but not in this release, * "git merge -m ..." added the standard merge message on its own after user-supplied message, which should have overrided the standard one. Other minor documentation updates are included. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.6.5.3 are as follows: David Aguilar (1): help: Do not unnecessarily look for a repository David Soria Parra (1): Documentation: Document --branch option in git clone synopsis Greg Price (1): Documentation: undocument gc'd function graph_release() Jeff King (1): prune-packed: only show progress when stderr is a tty Junio C Hamano (7): builtin-apply.c: pay attention to -p when determining the name Do not misidentify "git merge foo HEAD" as an old-style invocation merge: do not add standard message when message is given with -m option Prepare for 1.6.5.4 Documentation/Makefile: allow man.base.url.for.relative.link to be set from Make Unconditionally set man.base.url.for.relative.links Git 1.6.5.4 Michael J Gruber (1): Documentation: Fix a few i.e./e.g. mix-ups Nicolas Pitre (1): pack-objects: split implications of --all-progress from progress activation Stephen Boyd (1): instaweb: restart server if already running
