+Git v2.5.1 Release Notes
2
+========================
3
+
4
+Fixes since v2.5
5
+----------------
6
+
7
+ * Running an aliased command from a subdirectory when the .git thing
8
+ in the working tree is a gitfile pointing elsewhere did not work.
9
+
10
+ * Often a fast-import stream builds a new commit on top of the
11
+ previous commit it built, and it often unconditionally emits a
12
+ "from" command to specify the first parent, which can be omitted in
13
+ such a case. This caused fast-import to forget the tree of the
14
+ previous commit and then re-read it from scratch, which was
15
+ inefficient. Optimize for this common case.
16
+
17
+ * The "rev-parse --parseopt" mode parsed the option specification
18
+ and the argument hint in a strange way to allow '=' and other
19
+ special characters in the option name while forbidding them from
20
+ the argument hint. This made it impossible to define an option
21
+ like "--pair <key>=<value>" with "pair=key=value" specification,
22
+ which instead would have defined a "--pair=key <value>" option.
23
+
24
+ * A "rebase" replays changes of the local branch on top of something
25
+ else, as such they are placed in stage #3 and referred to as
26
+ "theirs", while the changes in the new base, typically a foreign
27
+ work, are placed in stage #2 and referred to as "ours". Clarify
28
+ the "checkout --ours/--theirs".
29
+
30
+ * An experimental "untracked cache" feature used uname(2) in a
31
+ slightly unportable way.
32
+
33
+ * "sparse checkout" misbehaved for a path that is excluded from the
34
+ checkout when switching between branches that differ at the path.
35
+
36
+ * The low-level "git send-pack" did not honor 'user.signingkey'
37
+ configuration variable when sending a signed-push.
38
+
39
+ * An attempt to delete a ref by pushing into a repository whose HEAD
40
+ symbolic reference points at an unborn branch that cannot be
41
+ created due to ref D/F conflict (e.g. refs/heads/a/b exists, HEAD
42
+ points at refs/heads/a) failed.
43
+
44
+ * "git subtree" (in contrib/) depended on "git log" output to be
45
+ stable, which was a no-no. Apply a workaround to force a
46
+ particular date format.
47
+
48
+Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
49
+clean-ups.
