+Git v1.7.5 Release Notes (draft)
2
+========================
3
+
4
+Updates since v1.7.4
5
+--------------------
6
+
7
+ * Various MinGW portability fixes.
8
+
9
+ * Various git-p4 enhancements (in contrib).
10
+
11
+ * "git config" used to be also known as "git repo-config", but the old
12
+ name is now officially deprecated.
13
+
14
+ * "git checkout --detach <commit>" is a more user friendly synonym for
15
+ "git checkout <commit>^0".
16
+
17
+ * "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can be told to use custom merge
18
+ strategy, similar to "git rebase".
19
+
20
+ * "rev-list --objects $revs -- $pathspec" would limit the objects listed
21
+ in its output properly with the pathspec, in preparation for narrow
22
+ clones.
23
+
24
+ * "git log" family of commands now understand globbing pathspecs. You
25
+ can say "git log -- '*.txt'" for example.
26
+
27
+ * "git rerere" learned a new subcommand "remaining", that is similar to
28
+ "status" that lists the paths that had conflicts that are known to
29
+ rerere, but excludes the paths that have already been marked as
30
+ resolved in the index from its output. "git mergetool" has been
31
+ updated to use this facility.
32
+
33
+ * A possible value to the "push.default" configuration variable,
34
+ 'tracking', gained a synonym that more naturally describes what it
35
+ does, 'upstream'.
36
+
37
+Also contains various documentation updates.
38
+
39
+
40
+Fixes since v1.7.4
41
+------------------
42
+
43
+All of the fixes in the v1.7.4.X maintenance series are included in this
44
+release, unless otherwise noted.
45
+
46
+ * "git merge" triggers prepare-commit-msg hook. Earlier, only "git
47
+ commit" to conclude an interrupted merge triggered the hook, leading to
48
+ an inconsistent overall user experience (js/maint-merge-use-prepare-commit-msg-hook).
