+Git v1.7.12 Release Notes
2
+=========================
3
+
4
+Updates since v1.7.11
5
+---------------------
6
+
7
+UI, Workflows & Features
8
+
9
+ * "git help" used to always default to "man" format even on platforms
10
+ where "man" viewer is not widely available.
11
+
12
+ * "git clone --local $path" started its life as an experiment to
13
+ optionally use link/copy when cloning a repository on the disk, but
14
+ we didn't deprecate it after we made the option a no-op to always
15
+ use the optimization. The command learned "--no-local" option to
16
+ turn this off, as a more explicit alternative over use of file://
17
+ URL.
18
+
19
+ * git native protocol agents learned to show software version over
20
+ the wire, so that the server log can be examined to see the vintage
21
+ distribution of clients.
22
+
23
+
24
+Foreign Interface
25
+
26
+
27
+Performance and Internal Implementation (please report possible regressions)
28
+
29
+ * Some tests showed false failures caused by a bug in ecryptofs.
30
+
31
+
32
+Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
33
+
34
+
35
+Fixes since v1.7.11
36
+-------------------
37
+
38
+Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.7.11 in the maintenance
39
+releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
40
+details).
41
+
42
+* Running "git bundle verify" on a bundle that records a complete
43
+ history said "it requires these 0 commits".
44
+ (merge 8c3710f jc/bundle-complete-notice later to maint).
45
+
46
+* "git ls-files --exclude=t -i" did not consider anything under t/ as
47
+ excluded, as it did not pay attention to exclusion of leading paths
48
+ while walking the index. Other two users of excluded() are also
49
+ updated.
50
+ (merge 0d316f0 jc/ls-files-i-dir later to maint).
51
+
52
+* "git request-pull $url dev" when the tip of "dev" branch was tagged
53
+ with "ext4-for-linus" used the contents from the tag in the output
54
+ but still asked the "dev" branch to be pulled, not the tag.
55
+ (merge 682853e jc/request-pull-match-tagname later to maint).
