| 1 | Git v1.7.5.1 Release Notes |
| 2 | ========================== |

| 4 | Fixes since v1.7.5 |
| 5 | ------------------ |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * When an object "$tree:$path" does not exist, if $path does exist in the |
| 8 | subtree of $tree that corresponds to the subdirectory the user is in, |
| 9 | git now suggests using "$tree:./$path" in addition to the advice to use |
| 10 | the full path from the root of the working tree. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | * The "--date=relative" output format used to say "X years, 12 months" |
| 13 | when it should have said "X+1 years". |
| 14 | |
| 15 | * The smart-HTTP transfer was broken in 1.7.5 when the client needs |
| 16 | to issue a small POST (which uses content-length) and then a large |
| 17 | POST (which uses chunked) back to back. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | * "git clean" used to fail on an empty directory that is not readable, |
| 20 | even though rmdir(2) could remove such a directory. Now we attempt it |
| 21 | as the last resort. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | * The "--dirstat" option of "diff" family of commands used to totally |
| 24 | ignore a change that only rearranged lines within a file. Such a |
| 25 | change now counts as at least a minimum but non zero change. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | * The "--dirstat" option of "diff" family of commands used to use the |
| 28 | pathname in the original, instead of the pathname in the result, |
| 29 | when renames are involved. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | * "git pack-object" did not take core.bigfilethreashold into account |
| 32 | (unlike fast-import); now it does. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | * "git reflog" ignored options like "--format=.." on the command line. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | * "git stash apply" used to refuse to work if there was any change in |
| 37 | the working tree, even when the change did not overlap with the change |
| 38 | the stash recorded. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | * "git stash apply @{99999}" was not diagnosed as an error, even when you |
| 41 | did not have that many stash entries. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | * An error message from "git send-email" to diagnose a broken SMTP |
| 44 | connection configuration lacked a space between "hello=<smtp-domain>" |
| 45 | and "port=<smtp-server-port>". |
| 46 | |
| 47 | And other minor fixes and documentation updates. |
