-A few more regression fixes have been made on the 'master' front
13
-since 1.7.11-rc3.
14
-
15
- - Recent "git diff" change started counting changes to binary files
16
- in bytes and adding it to shortstat output; fixed by Alexander
17
- Strasser.
18
-
19
- - Perl libraries needed for git-svn weren't correctly installed
20
- when MakeMaker was not in use; fixed by Jonathan Nieder.
21
-
22
- - Some gitweb tests failed when neither HTTP::Date or
23
- Time::ParseDate was available; fixed by Ramsay Jones.
24

25
-The final is still expected to happen this weekend.

+Now 1.7.11 is out, I'll start merging topics that have been cooking
13
+in 'next' to 'master', but let's wait for a few days in case some
14

"git ls-files --exclude=t -i" did not consider anything under t/
375
as excluded, as it did not pay attention to exclusion of leading
376
paths while walking the index. Other two users of excluded() are
377
also updated.

"git clone --local $path" started its life as an experiment to
420
optionally use link/copy when cloning a repository on the disk, but
421
we didn't deprecate it after we made the option a no-op to always
422
use the optimization.
