which has been fixed.

27
+ * The documentation set has been updated so that literal commands,
28
+ configuration variables and environment variables are consistently
29
+ typeset in fixed-width font and bold in manpages.
30
+
31
+ * "git svn propset" subcommand that was added in 2.3 days is
32
+ documented now.
33
+
34
+ * The documentation tries to consistently spell "GPG"; when
35
+ referring to the specific program name, "gpg" is used.
36
+
37
+ * "git reflog" stopped upon seeing an entry that denotes a branch
38
+ creation event (aka "unborn"), which made it appear as if the
39
+ reflog was truncated.
40
+
41
+ * The git-prompt scriptlet (in contrib/) was not friendly with those
42
+ who uses "set -u", which has been fixed.
43
+
44
+ * A codepath that used alloca(3) to place an unbounded amount of data
45
+ on the stack has been updated to avoid doing so.
46
+
47
+ * "git update-index --add --chmod=+x file" may be usable as an escape
48
+ hatch, but not a friendly thing to force for people who do need to
49
+ use it regularly. "git add --chmod=+x file" can be used instead.
50
+
51
+ * Build improvements for gnome-keyring (in contrib/)
52
+
53
+ * "git status" used to say "working directory" when it meant "working
54
+ tree".
55
+
56
+ * Comments about misbehaving FreeBSD shells have been clarified with
57
+ the version number (9.x and before are broken, newer ones are OK).
58
+
59
+ * "git cherry-pick A" worked on an unborn branch, but "git
60
+ cherry-pick A..B" didn't.
