tree contents had mixed CRLF/LF line endings. Committing such a
content must be prohibited, but \"git diff\" should help the user to
locate and fix such problems without failing.

https://raw.github.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.1.5.txt

Wed Feb 20 13:00:00 2013 tiwaiAATTsuse.de
- updated to version 1.8.1.4:

* \"git imap-send\" talking over imaps:// did make sure it received a
valid certificate from the other end, but did not check if the
certificate matched the host it thought it was talking to.

Sat Feb 16 13:00:00 2013 douglarekAATToutlook.com
- updated to version 1.8.1.3:

* minor fixes and documentation updates.
more details, please see here:
https://raw.github.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.1.3.txt

Wed Jan 30 13:00:00 2013 douglarekAATToutlook.com
- updated to version 1.8.1.2:

* An element on GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list that does not name the
real path to a directory (i.e. a symbolic link) could have caused
the GIT_DIR discovery logic to escape the ceiling.

* Command line completion for \"tcsh\" emitted an unwanted space
after completing a single directory name.

* Command line completion leaked an unnecessary error message while
looking for possible matches with paths in .

* \"git archive\" did not record uncompressed size in the header when
streaming a zip archive, which confused some implementations of unzip.

* When users spelled \"cc:\" in lowercase in the fake \"header\" in the
trailer part, \"git send-email\" failed to pick up the addresses from
there. As e-mail headers field names are case insensitive, this
script should follow suit and treat \"cc:\" and \"Cc:\" the same way.
Also contains various documentation fixes.

Thu Jan 17 13:00:00 2013 douglarekAATToutlook.com
- updated to version 1.8.1.1:

* minor fixes and documentation updates.
more details, please see here:
https://raw.github.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.1.1.txt

Tue Jan 1 13:00:00 2013 douglarekAATToutlook.com

* a bit of features.

* other minor fixes and documentation updates since v1.8.0.
more details, please see here:
https://raw.github.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.1.txt.

Fri Dec 14 13:00:00 2012 douglarekAATToutlook.com
- updated to version 1.8.0.2:

* Various codepaths have workaround for a common misconfiguration to
spell \"UTF-8\" as \"utf8\", but it was not used uniformly. Most
notably, mailinfo (which is used by \"git am\") lacked this support.

* We failed to mention a file without any content change but whose
permission bit was modified, or (worse yet) a new file without any
content in the \"git diff --stat\" output.

* When \"--stat-count\" hides a diffstat for binary contents, the total
number of added and removed lines at the bottom was computed
incorrectly.

* When \"--stat-count\" hides a diffstat for unmerged paths, the total
number of affected files at the bottom of the \"diff --stat\" output
was computed incorrectly.

* \"diff --shortstat\" miscounted the total number of affected files
when there were unmerged paths.

* \"git p4\" used to try expanding malformed \"$keyword$\" that spans
across multiple lines.

* \"git update-ref -d --deref SYM\" to delete a ref through a symbolic
ref that points to it did not remove it correctly.

* Syntax highlighting in \"gitweb\" was not quite working.
Also contains other minor fixes and documentation updates.

Tue Nov 27 13:00:00 2012 douglarekAATToutlook.com
- updated to version 1.8.0.1:

* a bit of features.

* other minor fixes and documentation updates since v1.8.0.
more details, please see here:
https://raw.github.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.0.1.txt.

Mon Oct 22 14:00:00 2012 douglarekAATToutlook.com
- updated to version 1.8.0:

* a lot of features.

* minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.

* all the fixes since v1.7.12.
more details, please see here:
https://raw.github.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.0.txt.

Thu Oct 18 14:00:00 2012 douglarekAATToutlook.com
- updated to version 1.7.12.4:

* \"git fetch\" over the dumb-http revision walker could segfault when
curl\'s multi interface was used.

* It was possible to give specific paths for \"asciidoc\" and other
tools in the documentation toolchain, but not for \"xmlto\".

* \"gitweb\" did not give the correct committer timezone in its feed
output due to a typo.

* The \"-Xours\" (and similarly -Xtheirs) backend option to \"git
merge -s recursive\" was ignored for binary files. Now it is
honored.

* The \"binary\" synthetic attribute made \"diff\" to treat the path as
binary, but not \"merge\".
Also contains many documentation updates.

Thu Oct 11 14:00:00 2012 douglarekAATToutlook.com
- updated to version 1.7.12.3:

* \"git am\" mishandled a patch attached as application/octet-stream
(e.g. not text/
*); Content-Transfer-Encoding (e.g. base64) was not
honored correctly.

* It was unclear in the documentation for \"git blame\" that it is
unnecessary for users to use the \"--follow\" option.

* A repository created with \"git clone --single\" had its fetch
refspecs set up just like a clone without \"--single\", leading the
subsequent \"git fetch\" to slurp all the other branches, defeating
the whole point of specifying \"only this branch\".

* \"git fetch\" over http had an old workaround for an unlikely server
misconfiguration; it turns out that this hurts debuggability of the
configuration in general, and has been reverted.

* \"git fetch\" over http advertised that it supports \"deflate\", which
is much less common, and did not advertise the more common \"gzip\" on
its Accept-Encoding header.

* \"git receive-pack\" (the counterpart to \"git push\") did not give
progress output while processing objects it received to the puser
when run over the smart-http protocol.

* \"git status\" honored the ignore=dirty settings in .gitmodules but
\"git commit\" didn\'t.
Also contains a handful of documentation updates.

Mon Oct 8 14:00:00 2012 schwabAATTlinux-m68k.org
- Use ./.make also in %check to test exactly what was built
- Avoid duplicate file warnings

Fri Oct 5 14:00:00 2012 douglarekAATToutlook.com
- updated to version 1.7.12.2:

* When \"git am\" is fed an input that has multiple \"Content-type: ...\"
header, it did not grok charset= attribute correctly.

* Even during a conflicted merge, \"git blame $path\" always meant to
blame uncommitted changes to the \"working tree\" version; make it
more useful by showing cleanly merged parts as coming from the other
branch that is being merged.

* \"git blame MAKEFILE\" run in a history that has \"Makefile\" but not
\"MAKEFILE\" should say \"No such file MAKEFILE in HEAD\", but got
confused on a case insensitive filesystem and failed to do so.

* \"git fetch --all\", when passed \"--no-tags\", did not honor the
\"--no-tags\" option while fetching from individual remotes (the same
issue existed with \"--tags\", but combination \"--all --tags\" makes
much less sense than \"--all --no-tags\").

* \"git log/diff/format-patch --stat\" showed the \"N line(s) added\"
comment in user\'s locale and caused careless submitters to send
patches with such a line in them to projects whose project language
is not their language, mildly irritating others. Localization to
the line has been disabled for now.

* \"git log --all-match --grep=A --grep=B\" ought to show commits that
mention both A and B, but when these three options are used with
- -author or --committer, it showed commits that mention either A or
B (or both) instead.

* The subcommand to remove the definition of a remote in \"git remote\"
was named \"rm\" even though all other subcommands were spelled out.
Introduce \"git remote remove\" to remove confusion, and keep \"rm\" as
a backward compatible synonym.
Also contains a handful of documentation updates.

Tue Sep 25 14:00:00 2012 douglarekAATToutlook.com
- updated to version 1.7.12.1:

* \"git apply -p0\" did not parse pathnames on \"diff --git\" line
correctly. This caused patches that had pathnames in no other
places to be mistakenly rejected (most notably, binary patch that
does not rename nor change mode). Textual patches, renames or mode
changes have preimage and postimage pathnames in different places
in a form that can be parsed unambiguously and did not suffer from
this problem.

* \"git cherry-pick A C B\" used to replay changes in A and then B and
then C if these three commits had committer timestamps in that
order, which is not what the user who said \"A C B\" naturally
expects.

* \"git commit --amend\" let the user edit the log message and then
died when the human-readable committer name was given
insufficiently by getpwent(3).

* Some capabilities were asked by fetch-pack even when upload-pack
did not advertise that they are available. fetch-pack has been
fixed not to do so.

* \"git diff\" had a confusion between taking data from a path in the
working tree and taking data from an object that happens to have
name 0{40} recorded in a tree.

* \"git for-each-ref\" did not correctly support more than one --sort
option.

* \"git log ..\" errored out saying it is both rev range and a path
when there is no disambiguating \"--\" is on the command line.
Update the command line parser to interpret \"..\" as a path in such
a case.

* The \"--topo-order\", \"--date-order\" (and the lack of either means
the default order) options to \"rev-list\" and \"log\" family of
commands were poorly described in the documentation.

* \"git prune\" without \"-v\" used to warn about leftover temporary
files (which is an indication of an earlier aborted operation).

* Pushing to smart HTTP server with recent Git fails without having
the username in the URL to force authentication, if the server is
configured to allow GET anonymously, while requiring authentication
for POST.

* The reflog entries left by \"git rebase\" and \"git rebase -i\" were
inconsistent (the interactive one gave an abbreviated object name).

* When \"git push\" triggered the automatic gc on the receiving end, a
message from \"git prune\" that said it was removing cruft leaked to
the standard output, breaking the communication protocol.

* \"git show --quiet\" ought to be a synonym for \"git show -s\", but
wasn\'t.

* \"git show --format=\'%ci\'\" did not give timestamp correctly for
commits created without human readable name on \"committer\" line.

* \"git send-email\" did not unquote encoded words that appear on the
header correctly, and lost \"_\" from strings.

* The interactive prompt \"git send-email\" gives was error prone. It
asked \"What e-mail address do you want to use?\" with the address it
guessed (correctly) the user would want to use in its prompt,
tempting the user to say \"y\". But the response was taken as \"No,
please use \'y\' as the e-mail address instead\", which is most
certainly not what the user meant.

* \"gitweb\" when used with PATH_INFO failed to notice directories with
SP (and other characters that need URL-style quoting) in them.

* When the user gives an argument that can be taken as both a
revision name and a pathname without disambiguating with \"--\", we
used to give a help message \"Use \'--\' to separate\". The message
has been clarified to show where that \'--\' goes on the command
line.

* When the user exports a non-default IFS without HT, scripts that
rely on being able to parse \"ls-files -s | while read a b c...\"
started to fail. Protect them from such a misconfiguration.

* The attribute system may be asked for a path that itself or its
leading directories no longer exists in the working tree, and it is
fine if we cannot open .gitattribute file in such a case. Failure
to open per-directory .gitattributes with error status other than
ENOENT and ENOTDIR should be diagnosed, but it wasn\'t.

* After \"gitk\" showed the contents of a tag, neither \"Reread
references\" nor \"Reload\" did not update what is shown as the
contents of it, when the user overwrote the tag with \"git tag -f\".

* \"ciabot\" script (in contrib/) has been updated with extensive
documentation.

* \"git-jump\" script (in contrib/) did not work well when
diff.noprefix or diff.mnemonicprefix is in effect.

* Older parts of the documentation described as if having a regular
file in .git/refs/ hierarchy were the only way to have branches and
tags, which is not true for quite some time.

* A utility shell function test_seq has been added as a replacement
for the \'seq\' utility found on some platforms.

* Compatibility wrapper to learn the maximum number of file
descriptors we can open around sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) and
getrlimit(RLIMIT_NO_FILE) has been introduced for portability.

* We used curl_easy_strerror() without checking version of cURL,
breaking the build for versions before curl 7.12.0.

* Code to work around MacOS X UTF-8 gotcha has been cleaned up.

* Fallback \'getpass\' implementation made unportable use of stdio API.

* The \"--rebase\" option to \"git pull\" can be abbreviated to \"-r\",
but we didn\'t document it.

* It was generally understood that \"--long-option\"s to many of our
subcommands can be abbreviated to the unique prefix, but it was not
easy to find it described for new readers of the documentation set.

* The synopsis said \"checkout [-B branch]\" to make it clear the
branch name is a parameter to the option, but the heading for the
option description was \"-B::\", not \"-B branch::\", making the
documentation misleading.
Also contains numerous documentation updates.

Wed Sep 12 14:00:00 2012 frank.lichtenheldAATTsophos.com
- git-prompt.sh (for __git_ps1) was broken out of
git-completion.bash. Install it too.

Tue Sep 11 14:00:00 2012 tiwaiAATTsuse.de
- updated to version 1.7.12:

new options, new commands:
See Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.12.txt for details.
- fix broken bash completion when egrep is aliased with --color
option (bnc#779536)

Thu Aug 16 14:00:00 2012 tiwaiAATTsuse.de
- updated to version 1.7.11.5:

* The Makefile rule to create assembly output (primarily for
debugging purposes) did not create it next to the source.

* The code to avoid mistaken attempt to add the object directory
itself as its own alternate could read beyond end of a string while
comparison.

* On some architectures, \"block-sha1\" did not compile correctly
when compilers inferred alignment guarantees from our source we
did not intend to make.

* When talking to a remote running ssh on IPv6 enabled host, whose
address is spelled as \"[HOST]:PORT\", we did not parse the address
correctly and failed to connect.

* git-blame.el (in compat/) have been updated to use Elisp more
correctly.

* \"git checkout \" to come back from a detached HEAD state
incorrectly computed reachability of the detached HEAD, resulting
in unnecessary warnings.

* \"git mergetool\" did not support --tool-help option to give the list
of supported backends, like \"git difftool\" does.

* \"git grep\" stopped spawning an external \"grep\" long time ago, but a
duplicated test to check internal and external \"grep\" was left
behind.

Tue Aug 7 14:00:00 2012 tiwaiAATTsuse.de
- updated to version 1.7.11:
Major version update; added new options in many commands and
new push mode like \"simple\"
See Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.11.txt for details.

git-grep, git-rebase, updated translations and documents.
See Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.10.4.txt for details.

Tue May 29 14:00:00 2012 tiwaiAATTsuse.de
- updated to version 1.7.10.3:

* From this release on, the \"git merge\" command in an interactive
session will start an editor when it automatically resolves the
merge for the user to explain the resulting commit, just like the
\"git commit\" command does when it wasn\'t given a commit message.

* The \"--binary/-b\" options to \"git am\" have been a no-op for quite a
while and were deprecated in mid 2008 (v1.6.0). When you give these
options to \"git am\", it will now warn and ask you not to use them.

* When you do not tell which branches and tags to push to the \"git
push\" command in any way, the command used \"matching refs\" rule to
update remote branches and tags with branches and tags with the
same name you locally have.
See details and more changes in Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.10.txt,
1.7.10.1.txt, 1.7.10.2.txt and 1.7.10.3.txt.

- Fix build on SLE_11, seems %files there doesn\'t support more
than one -f option

Mon Feb 27 13:00:00 2012 saschpeAATTsuse.de
- Update to version 1.7.9.2:

* Bash completion script (in contrib/) did not like a pattern that
begins with a dash to be passed to __git_ps1 helper function.

* Adaptation of the bash completion script (in contrib/) for zsh
incorrectly listed all subcommands when \"git \" was given
to ask for list of porcelain subcommands.

* The build procedure for profile-directed optimized binary was not
working very well.

* Some systems need to explicitly link -lcharset to get locale_charset().

* t5541 ignored user-supplied port number used for HTTP server testing.

* The error message emitted when we see an empty loose object was
not phrased correctly.

* The code to ask for password did not fall back to the terminal
input when GIT_ASKPASS is set but does not work (e.g. lack of X
with GUI askpass helper).

* We failed to give the true terminal width to any subcommand when
they are invoked with the pager, i.e. \"git -p cmd\".

* map_user() was not rewriting its output correctly, which resulted
in the user visible symptom that \"git blame -e\" sometimes showed
excess \'>\' at the end of email addresses.

* \"git checkout -b\" did not allow switching out of an unborn branch.

* When you have both .../foo and .../foo.git, \"git clone .../foo\" did not
favor the former but the latter.

* \"git commit\" refused to create a commit when entries added with
\"add -N\" remained in the index, without telling Git what their content
in the next commit should be. We should have created the commit without
these paths.

* \"git diff --stat\" said \"files\", \"insertions\", and \"deletions\" even
when it is showing one \"file\", one \"insertion\" or one \"deletion\".

* The output from \"git diff --stat\" for two paths that have the same
amount of changes showed graph bars of different length due to the
way we handled rounding errors.

* \"git grep\" did not pay attention to -diff (hence -binary) attribute.

* The transport programs (fetch, push, clone)ignored --no-progress
and showed progress when sending their output to a terminal.

* Sometimes error status detected by a check in an earlier phase of
\"git receive-pack\" (the other end of \"git push\") was lost by later
checks, resulting in false indication of success.

* \"git rev-list --verify\" sometimes skipped verification depending on
the phase of the moon, which dates back to 1.7.8.x series.

* Search box in \"gitweb\" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly.

* Search interface of \"gitweb\" did not show multiple matches in the same file
correctly.

Thu Feb 9 13:00:00 2012 tiwaiAATTsuse.de
- updated to v1.7.9:

* gitk updates accumulated since early 2011.

* git-gui updated to 0.16.0.

* git-p4 (in contrib/) updates.

* Git uses gettext to translate its most common interface messages
into the user\'s language if translations are available and the
locale is appropriately set. Distributors can drop new PO files
in po/ to add new translations.

* The code to handle username/password for HTTP transactions used in
\"git push\" & \"git fetch\" learned to talk \"credential API\" to
external programs to cache or store them, to allow integration with
platform native keychain mechanisms.

* The input prompts in the terminal use our own getpass() replacement
when possible. HTTP transactions used to ask for the username without
echoing back what was typed, but with this change you will see it as
you type.

* The internals of \"revert/cherry-pick\" have been tweaked to prepare
building more generic \"sequencer\" on top of the implementation that
drives them.

* \"git rev-parse FETCH_HEAD\" after \"git fetch\" without specifying
what to fetch from the command line will now show the commit that
would be merged if the command were \"git pull\".

* \"git add\" learned to stream large files directly into a packfile
instead of writing them into individual loose object files.

* \"git checkout -B \" is a more intuitive
way to spell \"git reset --keep \".

* \"git checkout\" and \"git merge\" learned \"--no-overwrite-ignore\" option
to tell Git that untracked and ignored files are not expendable.

* \"git commit --amend\" learned \"--no-edit\" option to say that the
user is amending the tree being recorded, without updating the
commit log message.

* \"git commit\" and \"git reset\" re-learned the optimization to prime
the cache-tree information in the index, which makes it faster to
write a tree object out after the index entries are updated.

* \"git commit\" detects and rejects an attempt to stuff NUL byte in
the commit log message.

* \"git commit\" learned \"-S\" to GPG-sign the commit; this can be shown
with the \"--show-signature\" option to \"git log\".

* fsck and prune are relatively lengthy operations that still go
silent while making the end-user wait. They learned to give progress
output like other slow operations.

* The set of built-in function-header patterns for various languages
knows MATLAB.

* \"git log --format=\'\'\" learned new %g[nNeE] specifiers to
show information from the reflog entries when walking the reflog
(i.e. with \"-g\").

* \"git pull\" can be used to fetch and merge an annotated/signed tag,
instead of the tip of a topic branch. The GPG signature from the
signed tag is recorded in the resulting merge commit for later
auditing.

* \"git log\" learned \"--show-signature\" option to show the signed tag
that was merged that is embedded in the merge commit. It also can
show the signature made on the commit with \"git commit -S\".

* \"git branch --edit-description\" can be used to add descriptive text
to explain what a topic branch is about.

* \"git fmt-merge-msg\" learned to take the branch description into
account when preparing a merge summary that \"git merge\" records
when merging a local branch.

* \"git request-pull\" has been updated to convey more information
useful for integrators to decide if a topic is worth merging and
what is pulled is indeed what the requestor asked to pull,
including:
- the tip of the branch being requested to be merged;
- the branch description describing what the topic is about;
- the contents of the annotated tag, when requesting to pull a tag.

* \"git pull\" learned to notice \'pull.rebase\' configuration variable,
which serves as a global fallback for setting \'branch..rebase\'
configuration variable per branch.

* \"git tag\" learned \"--cleanup\" option to control how the whitespaces
and empty lines in tag message are cleaned up.

* \"gitweb\" learned to show side-by-side diff.

Fri Jan 27 13:00:00 2012 jpscheweAATTmtu.net
- Added the ability to specify the user and group that git-daemon run
as (bnc#742661).

Wed Jan 11 13:00:00 2012 idonmezAATTsuse.com
- Update to v1.7.8.3

* Attempt to fetch from an empty file pretending it to be a bundle did
not error out correctly.

* gitweb did not correctly fall back to configured $fallback_encoding
that is not \'latin1\'.

* \"git clone --depth $n\" did not catch a non-number given as $n as an
error.

* Porcelain commands like \"git reset\" did not distinguish deletions
and type-changes from ordinary modification, and reported them with
the same \'M\' moniker. They now use \'D\' (for deletion) and \'T\' (for
type-change) to match \"git status -s\" and \"git diff --name-status\".

* You could make \"git commit\" segfault by giving the \"--no-message\"
option.

* \"git checkout -m\" did not recreate the conflicted state in a \"both
sides added, without any common ancestor version\" conflict
situation.

* git native connection going over TCP (not over SSH) did not set
SO_KEEPALIVE option which failed to receive link layer errors.

* \"fast-import\" did not correctly update an existing notes tree,
possibly corrupting the fan-out.

* \"git log --follow\" did not honor the rename threshold score given
with the -M option (e.g. \"-M50%\").

* Authenticated \"git push\" over dumb HTTP were broken with a recent
change and failed without asking for password when username is
given.

* \"git push\" to an empty repository over HTTP were broken with a
recent change to the ref handling.

* \"git push -v\" forgot how to be verbose by mistake. It now properly
becomes verbose when asked to.

* When a \"reword\" action in \"git rebase -i\" failed to run \"commit --amend\",
we did not give the control back to the user to resolve the situation, and
instead kept the original commit log message.

* \"git apply --check\" did not error out when given an empty input
without any patch.

* \"git archive\" mistakenly allowed remote clients to ask for commits
that are not at the tip of any ref.

* \"git checkout\" and \"git merge\" treated in-tree .gitignore and exclude
file in $GIT_DIR/info/ directory inconsistently when deciding which
untracked files are ignored and expendable.

* The function header pattern for files with \"diff=cpp\" attribute did
not consider \"type
*funcname(type param1,...\" as the beginning of a
function.

* The error message from \"git diff\" and \"git status\" when they fail
to inspect changes in submodules did not report which submodule they
had trouble with.

* \"git pack-objects\" avoids creating cyclic dependencies among deltas
when seeing a broken packfile that records the same object in both
the deflated form and as a delta.

Tue Dec 13 13:00:00 2011 idonmezAATTsuse.com
- Implement %check via make test
- Update to v1.7.8
New features:

* The date parser now accepts timezone designators that lack minutes
part and also has a colon between \"hh:mm\".

* The contents of the /etc/mailname file, if exists, is used as the
default value of the hostname part of the committer/author e-mail.

* \"git am\" learned how to read from patches generated by Hg.

* \"git archive\" talking with a remote repository can report errors
from the remote side in a more informative way.

* \"git branch\" learned an explicit --list option to ask for branches
listed, optionally with a glob matching pattern to limit its output.

* \"git check-attr\" learned \"--cached\" option to look at .gitattributes
files from the index, not from the working tree.

* Variants of \"git cherry-pick\" and \"git revert\" that take multiple
commits learned to \"--continue\" and \"--abort\".

* \"git daemon\" gives more human readble error messages to clients
using ERR packets when appropriate.

* Errors at the network layer is logged by \"git daemon\".

* \"git diff\" learned \"--minimal\" option to spend extra cycles to come
up with a minimal patch output.

* \"git diff\" learned \"--function-context\" option to show the whole
function as context that was affected by a change.

* \"git difftool\" can be told to skip launching the tool for a path by
answering \'n\' to its prompt.

* \"git fetch\" learned to honor transfer.fsckobjects configuration to
validate the objects that were received from the other end, just like
\"git receive-pack\" (the receiving end of \"git push\") does.

* \"git fetch\" makes sure that the set of objects it received from the
other end actually completes the history before updating the refs.
\"git receive-pack\" (the receiving end of \"git push\") learned to do the
same.

* \"git fetch\" learned that fetching/cloning from a regular file on the
filesystem is not necessarily a request to unpack a bundle file; the
file could be \".git\" with \"gitdir: \" in it.

* \"git for-each-ref\" learned \"%(contents:subject)\", \"%(contents:body)\"
and \"%(contents:signature)\". The last one is useful for signed tags.

* \"git grep\" used to incorrectly pay attention to .gitignore files
scattered in the directory it was working in even when \"--no-index\"
option was used. It no longer does this. The \"--exclude-standard\"
option needs to be given to explicitly activate the ignore
mechanism.

* \"git grep\" learned \"--untracked\" option, where given patterns are
searched in untracked (but not ignored) files as well as tracked
files in the working tree, so that matches in new but not yet
added files do not get missed.

* The recursive merge backend no longer looks for meaningless
existing merges in submodules unless in the outermost merge.

* \"git log\" and friends learned \"--children\" option.

* \"git ls-remote\" learned to respond to \"-h\"(elp) requests.

* \"mediawiki\" remote helper can interact with (surprise!) MediaWiki
with \"git fetch\" & \"git push\".

* \"git merge\" learned the \"--edit\" option to allow users to edit the
merge commit log message.

* \"git rebase -i\" can be told to use special purpose editor suitable
only for its insn sheet via sequence.editor configuration variable.

* \"git send-email\" learned to respond to \"-h\"(elp) requests.

* \"git send-email\" allows the value given to sendemail.aliasfile to begin
with \"~/\" to refer to the $HOME directory.

* \"git send-email\" forces use of Authen::SASL::Perl to work around
issues between Authen::SASL::Cyrus and AUTH PLAIN/LOGIN.

* \"git stash\" learned \"--include-untracked\" option to stash away
untracked/ignored cruft from the working tree.

* \"git submodule clone\" does not leak an error message to the UI
level unnecessarily anymore.

* \"git submodule update\" learned to honor \"none\" as the value for
submodule..update to specify that the named submodule should
not be checked out by default.

* When populating a new submodule directory with \"git submodule init\",
the $GIT_DIR metainformation directory for submodules is created inside
$GIT_DIR/modules// directory of the superproject and referenced
via the gitfile mechanism. This is to make it possible to switch
between commits in the superproject that has and does not have the
submodule in the tree without re-cloning.

* \"gitweb\" leaked unescaped control characters from syntax hiliter
outputs.

* \"gitweb\" can be told to give custom string at the end of the HTML
HEAD element.

* \"gitweb\" now has its own manual pages.
Bugfixes since v1.7.7

* HTTP transport did not use pushurl correctly, and also did not tell
what host it is trying to authenticate with when asking for
credentials.
(merge deba493 jk/http-auth later to maint).

* \"git blame\" was aborted if started from an uncommitted content and
the path had the textconv filter in effect.
(merge 8518088 ss/blame-textconv-fake-working-tree later to maint).

* Adding many refs to the local repository in one go (e.g. \"git fetch\"
that fetches many tags) and looking up a ref by name in a repository
with too many refs were unnecessarily slow.
(merge 17d68a54d jp/get-ref-dir-unsorted later to maint).

* Report from \"git commit\" on untracked files was confused under
core.ignorecase option.
(merge 395c7356 jk/name-hash-dirent later to maint).

* \"git merge\" did not understand \":/\" as a way to name a commit.
\" \"git push\" on the receiving end used to call post-receive and post-update
hooks for attempted removal of non-existing refs.
(merge 160b81ed ph/push-to-delete-nothing later to maint).

* Help text for \"git remote set-url\" and \"git remote set-branches\"
were misspelled.
(merge c49904e fc/remote-seturl-usage-fix later to maint).
(merge 656cdf0 jc/remote-setbranches-usage-fix later to maint).

See details in
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/RelNotes-1.7.0.txt
Notes on behaviour change:

* \"git push\" into a branch that is currently checked out (i.e. pointed at by
HEAD in a repository that is not bare) is refused by default.

* \"git send-email\" does not make deep threads by default when sending a
patch series with more than two messages. All messages will be sent
as a reply to the first message, i.e. cover letter.

* \"git status\" is not \"git commit --dry-run\" anymore. This change does
not affect you if you run the command without argument.

* \"git diff\" traditionally treated various \"ignore whitespace\" options
only as a way to filter the patch output. \"git diff --exit-code -b\"
exited with non-zero status even if all changes were about changing the
amount of whitespace and nothing else; and \"git diff -b\" showed the
\"diff --git\" header line for such a change without patch text.

* External diff and textconv helpers are now executed using the shell.
This makes them consistent with other programs executed by git, and
allows you to pass command-line parameters to the helpers. Any helper
paths containing spaces or other metacharacters now need to be
shell-quoted. The affected helpers are GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF in the
environment, and diff.
*.command and diff.
*.textconv in the config
file.

* The --max-pack-size argument to \'git repack\', \'git pack-objects\', and
\'git fast-import\' was assuming the provided size to be expressed in MiB,
unlike the corresponding config variable and other similar options accepting
a size value. It is now expecting a size expressed in bytes, with a possible
unit suffix of \'k\', \'m\', or \'g\'.
- added git-remote-helpers sub-package for python helpers

Mon Apr 20 14:00:00 2009 tiwaiAATTsuse.de
- updated to 1.6.2.4:

* The configuration parser had a buffer overflow while parsing
an overlong value.

* pruning reflog entries that are unreachable from the tip of
the ref during \"git reflog prune\" (hence \"git gc\") was very
inefficient.

* \"git-add -p\" lacked a way to say \"q\"uit to refuse staging any
hunks for the remaining paths. You had to say \"d\" and then ^C.

* \"git-checkout \" did not update the index
entry at the named path; it now does.

* \"git-fast-export\" choked when seeing a tag that does not point
at commit.

* \"git init\" segfaulted when given an overlong template location
via the --template= option.

* \"git-ls-tree\" and \"git-diff-tree\" used a pathspec correctly
when deciding to descend into a subdirectory but they did not
match the individual paths correctly. This caused pathspecs
\"abc/d ab\" to match \"abc/0\" (\"abc/d\" made them decide to
descend into the directory \"abc/\", and then \"ab\" incorrectly
matched \"abc/0\" when it shouldn\'t).

* \"git-merge-recursive\" was broken when a submodule entry was
involved in a criss-cross merge situation.

Thu Apr 16 14:00:00 2009 tiwaiAATTsuse.de
- updated to 1.6.2.2:

* A longstanding confusing description of what --pickaxe option
of git-diff does has been clarified in the documentation.

* \"git-blame -S\" did not quite work near the commits that were
given on the command line correctly.

* \"git diff --pickaxe-regexp\" did not count overlapping matches
correctly.

* \"git diff\" did not feed files in work-tree representation to
external diff and textconv.

* \"git-fetch\" in a repository that was not cloned from anywhere
said it cannot find \'origin\', which was hard to understand for
new people.

* \"git-format-patch --numbered-files --stdout\" did not have to
die of incompatible options; it now simply ignores
- -numbered-files as no files are produced anyway.

* \"git-ls-files --deleted\" did not work well with GIT_DIR&GIT_WORK_TREE.

* \"git-read-tree A B C...\" without -m option has been broken for
a long time.

* git-send-email ignored --in-reply-to when --no-thread was given.

* \'git-submodule add\' did not tolerate extra slashes and ./ in
the path it accepted from the command line; it now is more lenient.

* git-svn misbehaved when the project contained a path that began
with two dashes.

* import-zips script (in contrib) did not compute the common
directory prefix correctly.

* miscompilation of negated enum constants by old gcc (2.9)
affected the codepaths to spawn subprocesses.
- updated to 1.6.2.3:

* Setting an octal mode value to core.sharedrepository
configuration to restrict access to the repository to group
members did not work as advertised.

* A fairly large and trivial memory leak while rev-list shows
list of reachable objects has been identified and plugged.

* \"git-commit --interactive\" did not abort when underlying
\"git-add -i\" signaled a failure.

* git-repack (invoked from git-gc) did not work as nicely as it
should in a repository that borrows objects from neighbours
via alternates mechanism especially when some packs are marked
with the \".keep\" flag to prevent them from being repacked.
- fix the start-check in git-daemon script (bnc#494824)

Mon Mar 16 13:00:00 2009 tiwaiAATTsuse.de
- updated to 1.6.2.1:

* .gitignore learned to handle backslash as a quoting mechanism
for comment introduction character \"#\".

* timestamp output in --date=relative mode used to display
timestamps that are long time ago in the default mode

* git-add -i/-p now works with non-ASCII pathnames.

* \"git hash-object -w\" did not read from the configuration file
from the correct .git directory.

* git-send-email learned to correctly handle multiple Cc:
addresses.

Thu Mar 5 13:00:00 2009 tiwaiAATTsuse.de
- updated to 1.6.2:

* AATT{-1} is a way to refer to the last branch you were on.

* The location of .mailmap file can be configured

* Improvements on \"git add -p\"

* Improvements on \"git am\" behavior and options

* \"git blame\" aligns author names better

* \"git clone\" now makes its best effort when cloning from an
empty repository

* \"git checkout -\" is a shorthand for \"git checkout AATT{-1}\".

* \"git cherry\" defaults to whatever the current branch is
tracking (if exists) when the argument is not given.

* \"git cvsserver\" fixes / improvements

* New options for \"git diff\"

* New options for \"git filter-branch\"

* \"git fsck\" now checks loose objects in alternate object
stores

* \"git gc --prune\" was resurrected to allow \"git gc --no-prune\"

* New option for \"git mergetool\"

* \"git rebase -i\" can transplant a history down to root

* \"git reset --merge\" option

* \"git submodule update\" learned --no-fetch option.

* \"git tag\" learned --contains
