Unless otherwise noted, all fixes in the 1.7.6.X maintenance track are
included in this release.
- * The error reporting logic of "git am" when the command is fed a file
- whose mail-storage format is unknown was fixed.
- (merge dff4b0e gb/maint-am-patch-format-error-message later to 'maint').
-
- * "git branch --set-upstream @{-1} foo" did not expand @{-1} correctly.
- (merge e9d4f74 mg/branch-set-upstream-previous later to 'maint').
-
* "git branch -m" and "git checkout -b" incorrectly allowed the tip
of the branch that is currently checked out updated.
(merge 55c4a67 ci/forbid-unwanted-current-branch-update later to 'maint').
- * "git check-ref-format --print" used to parrot a candidate string that
- began with a slash (e.g. /refs/heads/master) without stripping it, to make
- the result a suitably normalized string the caller can append to "$GIT_DIR/".
- (merge f3738c1 mh/check-ref-format-print-normalize later to 'maint').
-
- * "git clone" failed to clone locally from a ".git" file that itself
- is not a directory but is a pointer to one.
- (merge 9b0ebc7 nd/maint-clone-gitdir later to 'maint').
-
- * "git clone" from a local repository that borrows from another
- object store using a relative path in its objects/info/alternates
- file did not adjust the alternates in the resulting repository.
- (merge e6baf4a1 jc/maint-clone-alternates later to 'maint').
-
- * "git describe --dirty" did not refresh the index before checking the
- state of the working tree files.
- (cherry-pick bb57148 ac/describe-dirty-refresh later to 'maint').
-
- * "git ls-files ../$path" that is run from a subdirectory reported errors
- incorrectly when there is no such path that matches the given pathspec.
- (merge 0f64bfa cb/maint-ls-files-error-report later to 'maint').
