+GIT v1.5.3.7 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.5.3.6
+--------------------
+
+ * git-send-email added 8-bit contents to the payload without
+ marking it as 8-bit in a CTE header.
+
+ * "git-bundle create a.bndl HEAD" dereferenced the symref and
+ did not record the ref as 'HEAD'; this prevented a bundle
+ from being used as a normal source of git-clone.
+
+ * The code to reject nonsense command line of the form
+ "git-commit -a paths..." and "git-commit --interactive
+ paths..." were broken.
+
+ * Adding a signature that is not ASCII-only to an original
+ commit that is ASCII-only would make the result non-ASCII.
+ "git-format-patch -s" did not mark such a message correctly
+ with MIME encoding header.
+
+ * git-add sometimes did not mark the resulting index entry
+ stat-clean. This affected only cases when adding the
+ contents with the same length as the previously staged
+ contents, and the previous staging made the index entry
+ "racily clean".
+
+ * git-commit did not honor GIT_INDEX_FILE the user had in the
+ environment.
+
+ * When checking out a revision, git-checkout did not report where the
+ updated HEAD is if you happened to have a file called HEAD in the
+ work tree.
+
+ * "git-rev-list --objects" mishandled a tree that points at a
+ submodule.
+
+ * "git cvsimport" was not ready for packed refs that "git gc" can
+ produce and gave incorrect results.
+
+ * Many scripted Porcelains were confused when you happened to have a
+ file called "HEAD" in your work tree.
+
+Also it contains updates to the user manual and documentation.
GIT v1.5.4 Release Notes
========================
+Deprecation notices
+-------------------
+
+ * Next feature release of git (this change is scheduled for v1.5.5 but
+ it could slip) will by default install dashed form of commands
+ (e.g. "git-commit") outside of users' normal $PATH, and will install
+ only selected commands ("git" itself, and "gitk") in $PATH. This
+ implies:
+
+ - Using dashed form of git commands (e.g. "git-commit") from the
+ command line has been informally deprecated since early 2006, but
+ now it officially is, and will be removed in the future. Use
+ dashless form (e.g. "git commit") instead.
+
+ - Using dashed from from your scripts, without first prepending the
+ return value from "git --exec-path" to the scripts' PATH, has been
+ informally deprecated since early 2006, but now it officially is.
+
+ - Use of dashed form with "PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH; export
+ PATH" early in your script is not deprecated with this change.
+
+ Users are strongly encouraged to adjust their habits and scripts now
+ to prepare for this.
+
+ * The post-receive hook was introduced in March 2007 to supersede
+ post-update hook, primarily to overcome the command line length
+ limitation of the latter. Use of post-update hook will be deprecated
+ in future versions of git, perhaps in v1.5.5.
+
+
Updates since v1.5.3
--------------------
* git-peek-remote is deprecated, as git-ls-remote was written in C and
works for all transports.
+ * git-cherry-pick made a misguided attempt to repeat the original
+ command line in the generated log message, when told to cherry-pick a
+ commit by naming a tag that points at it. It does not anymore.
+
* "progress display" from many commands are a lot nicer to the
eye. Transfer commands show throughput data.
+ * many commands that pay attention to per-directory .gitignore now do
+ so lazily, which makes the usual case go much faster.
+
* git-reset is now built-in and its output can be squelched with -q.
* git-send-email can optionally talk over ssmtp and use SMTP-AUTH.
* "git merge-ours" is built-in.
- * "git svn" learned "info" subcommand.
+ * "git svn" learned "info" and "show-externals" subcommands.
+
+ * calling "git svn" from a subdirectory failed read settings from the
+ .git/config.
+
+ * "git svn" learned --use-log-author option, which picks up more
+ descriptive name from From: and Signed-off-by: lines in the commit
+ message.
* "git status" from a subdirectory now shows relative paths
which makes copy-and-pasting for git-checkout/git-add/git-rm
easier.
+ * "git checkout" from and to detached HEAD leaves a bit more
+ information in the reflog.
+
* Output processing for '--pretty=format:<user format>' has
been optimized.
- * Rename detection diff family, while detecting exact matches,
- has been greatly optimized.
+ * Rename detection of diff family, while detecting exact matches, has
+ been greatly optimized.
+
+ * Rename detection of diff family tries to make more naturally looking
+ pairing. Earlier if more than one identical rename sources were
+ found in the preimage, they were picked pretty much at random.
* Example update and post-receive hooks have been improved.
+ * A corrupt ref at the remote site can be removed via "git push".
+
* In addition there are quite a few internal clean-ups. Notably
- many fork/exec have been replaced with run-command API,
