102 Fixes since v1.7.8

103 ------------------

104

89 - * The function header pattern for files with "diff=cpp" attribute did

90 - not consider "type *funcname(type param1,..." as the beginning of a

91 - function.

92 - (merge 37e7793 tr/userdiff-c-returns-pointer later to maint).

93 -

105 * The replacement implemention for snprintf used on platforms with

106 native snprintf that is broken did not use va_copy correctly.

107 (merge a9bfbc5 jk/maint-snprintf-va-copy later to maint).

108

98 - * LF-to-CRLF streaming filter used when checking out a large-ish blob

99 - fell into an infinite loop with a rare input.

100 - (merge 284e3d2 cn/maint-lf-to-crlf-filter later to maint).

109 * git native connection going over TCP (not over SSH) did not set

110 SO_KEEPALIVE option which failed to receive link layer errors.

111 (merge e47a858 ew/keepalive later to maint).

113 + * LF-to-CRLF streaming filter replaced all LF with CRLF, which might

114 + be techinically correct but not friendly to people who are trying

115 + to recover from earlier mistakes of using CRLF in the repository
