v1.6.1 introduced ".have" extension to the protocol to allow the receiving side to advertise objects that are reachable from refs in the repositories it borrows from. This was meant to be used by the sending side to avoid sending such objects; they are already available through the alternates mechanism. The client side implementation in v1.6.1, which was introduced with 40c155f (push: prepare sender to receive extended ref information from the receiver, 2008-09-09) aka v1.6.1-rc1~203^2~1, were faulty in that it did not consider the possiblity that the repository receiver borrows from might have objects it does not know about. This fixes it by refraining from passing missing commits to underlying pack-objects. Revision machinery may need to be tightened further to treat missing uninteresting objects as non-error events, but this is an obvious and safe fix for a maintenance release that is almost good enough.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
