+Git v1.7.1.1 Release Notes (draft)
2
+==================================
3
+
4
+Fixes since v1.7.1
5
+------------------
6
+
7
+ * Authentication over http transport can now be made lazily, in that the
8
+ request can first go to a URL without username, get a 401 response and
9
+ then the client will ask for the username to use.
10
+
11
+ * We used to mistakenly think "../work" is a subdirectory of the current
12
+ directory when we are in "../work-xyz".
13
+
14
+ * The attribute mechanism now allows an entry that uses an attribute
15
+ macro that set/unset one attribute, immediately followed by an
16
+ overriding setting; this makes attribute macros much easier to use.
17
+
18
+ * "git am -3" did not show diagnosis when the patch in the message was corrupt.
19
+
20
+ * "git bundle --stdin" segfaulted.
21
+
22
+ * "git describe" did not tie-break tags that point at the same commit
23
+ correctly; newer ones are preferred by paying attention to the
24
+ tagger date now.
25
+
26
+ * "git fetch" over HTTP verifies the downloaded packfiles more robustly.
27
+
28
+ * The memory usage by "git index-pack" (run during "git fetch" and "git
29
+ push") got leaner.
30
+
31
+ * "GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare bar.git" created foo.git instead of bar.git.
32
+
33
+ * "git log --abbrev=$num --format='%h' ignored --abbrev=$num.
34
+
35
+ * "git send-email" lacked a way to specify the domainname used in the
36
+ EHLO/HELO exchange, causing rejected connection from picky servers.
37
+ It learned --smtp-domain option to solve this issue.
38
+
39
+ * "git stash" incorrectly lost paths in the working tree that were
40
+ previously removed from the index.
41
+
42
+ * "git status" stopped refreshing the index by mistake in 1.7.1.
43
+
44
+ * "git status" showed excess "hints" even when advice.statusHints is set to false.
45
+
46
+And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
