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<n> --directory=<elsewhere>" 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 <message> HEAD <commit>..." syntax in future versions, but not in this release, * "git merge -m <message> <branch>..." added the standard merge message on its own after user-supplied message, which should have overridden the standard one. Other minor documentation updates are included.
