+Git v1.7.4 Release Notes (draft)
2
+================================
3
+
4
+Updates since v1.7.3
5
+--------------------
6
+
7
+ * The option parsers of various commands that create new branch (or
8
+ rename existing ones to a new name) were too loose and users were
9
+ allowed to call a branch with a name that begins with a dash by
10
+ creative abuse of their command line options, which only lead to
11
+ burn themselves. The name of a branch cannot begin with a dash
12
+ now.
13
+
14
+ * System-wide fallback default attributes can be stored in
15
+ /etc/gitattributes; core.attributesfile configuration variable can
16
+ be used to customize the path to this file.
17
+
18
+ * "git diff" and "git grep" learned how functions and subroutines
19
+ in Fortran look like.
20
+
21
+ * "git log -G<pattern>" limits the output to commits whose change has
22
+ added or deleted lines that match the given pattern.
23
+
24
+ * "git read-tree" with no argument as a way to empty the index is
25
+ deprecated; we might want to remove it in the future. Users can
26
+ use the new --empty option to be more explicit instead.
27
+
28
+ * "git merge --log" used to limit the resulting merge log to 20
29
+ entries; this is now customizable by giving e.g. "--log=47".
30
+
31
+ * you can extend "git shell", which is often used on boxes that allow
32
+ git-only login over ssh as login shell, with custom set of
33
+ commands.
34
+
35
+Also contains various documentation updates.
36
+
37

38
+Fixes since v1.7.3
39
+------------------
40
+
41
+All of the fixes in v1.7.3.X maintenance series are included in this
42
+release, unless otherwise noted.
43
+
44
+ * "git log --author=me --author=her" did not find commits written by
45
+ me or by her; instead it looked for commits written by me and by
46
+ her, which is impossible.
