/etc/gitattributes; core.attributesfile configuration variable can
be used to customize the path to this file.
+ * The thread structure generated by "git send-email" has changed
+ slightly. Setting the cover letter of the latest series as a reply
+ to the cover letter of the previous series with --in-reply-to used
+ to make the new cover letter and all the patches replies to the
+ cover letter of the previous series; this has been changed to make
+ the patches in the new series replies to the new cover letter.
+
* Bash completion script in contrib/ has been adjusted to be also
usable by zsh.
+ * "git blame" learned --show-email option to display the e-mail
+ addresses instead of the names of authors.
+
+ * "git daemon" can be built in MinGW environment.
+
* "git daemon" can take more than one --listen option to listen to
multiple addresses.
* "git merge --log" used to limit the resulting merge log to 20
entries; this is now customizable by giving e.g. "--log=47".
+ * "git merge" may work better when all files were moved out of a
+ directory in one branch while a new file is created in place of that
+ directory in the other branch.
+
+ * "git rebase --autosquash" can use SHA-1 object names to name which
+ commit to fix up (e.g. "fixup! e83c5163").
+
* The default "recursive" merge strategy learned --rename-threshold
option to influence the rename detection, similar to the -M option
of "git diff". E.g. "git merge -Xrename-threshold=50% ..." to use
All of the fixes in v1.7.3.X maintenance series are included in this
release, unless otherwise noted.
- * "diff" and friends incorrectly applied textconv filters to symlinks
- (d391c0ff).
+ * Smart HTTP transport used to incorrectly retry redirected POST
+ request with GET request (311e2ea006).
+
+ * "git apply" did not correctly handle patches that only change modes
+ if told to apply while stripping leading paths with -p option (aae1f6ac).
- * "git apply" segfaulted when a bogus input is fed to it (24305cd70).
+ * "git apply" can deal with patches with timezone formatted with a
+ colon between the hours and minutes part (e.g. "-08:00" instead of
+ "-0800").
- * Running "git cherry-pick --ff" on a root commit segfaulted (6355e50).
+ * "git checkout" removed an untracked file "foo" from the working
+ tree when switching to a branch that contains a tracked path
+ "foo/bar". Prevent this, just like the case where the conflicting
+ path were "foo" (c752e7f..7980872d).
+
+ * "git diff --check" reported an incorrect line number for added
+ blank lines at the end of file (8837d335).
* "git log --author=me --author=her" did not find commits written by
me or by her; instead it looked for commits written by me and by
her, which is impossible.
- * "git merge-file" can be called from within a subdirectory now
- (55846b9a).
+ * "git merge" into an unborn branch removed an untracked file "foo"
+ from the working tree when merged branch had "foo" (2caf20c..172b642).
* "git push --progress" shows progress indicators now.
* "git repack" places its temporary packs under $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/pack
instead of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/ to avoid cross directory renames.
- * "git rev-list --format="...%x00..." incorrectly chopped its output
- at NUL (9130ac9fe).
-
* "git submodule update --recursive --other-flags" passes flags down
to its subinvocations.
