All of the fixes in v1.7.3.X maintenance series are included in this

release, unless otherwise noted.

76
- * "diff" and friends incorrectly applied textconv filters to symlinks
77
- (d391c0ff).
95
+ * Smart HTTP transport used to incorrectly retry redirected POST
96
+ request with GET request (311e2ea006).
97
+
98
+ * "git apply" did not correctly handle patches that only change modes
99
+ if told to apply while stripping leading paths with -p option (aae1f6ac).
100
79
- * "git apply" segfaulted when a bogus input is fed to it (24305cd70).
101
+ * "git apply" can deal with patches with timezone formatted with a
102
+ colon between the hours and minutes part (e.g. "-08:00" instead of
103
+ "-0800").
104
81
- * Running "git cherry-pick --ff" on a root commit segfaulted (6355e50).
105
+ * "git checkout" removed an untracked file "foo" from the working
106
+ tree when switching to a branch that contains a tracked path
107
+ "foo/bar". Prevent this, just like the case where the conflicting
108
+ path were "foo" (c752e7f..7980872d).
109
+
110
+ * "git diff --check" reported an incorrect line number for added
111
+ blank lines at the end of file (8837d335).
112
113
* "git log --author=me --author=her" did not find commits written by
114
me or by her; instead it looked for commits written by me and by
115
her, which is impossible.
116
87
- * "git merge-file" can be called from within a subdirectory now
88
- (55846b9a).
117
+ * "git merge" into an unborn branch removed an untracked file "foo"
118
+ from the working tree when merged branch had "foo" (2caf20c..172b642).
119
120
* "git push --progress" shows progress indicators now.
121
122
* "git repack" places its temporary packs under $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/pack
123
instead of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/ to avoid cross directory renames.
124
95
- * "git rev-list --format="...%x00..." incorrectly chopped its output

* "git submodule update --recursive --other-flags" passes flags down
