+Git v1.7.5 Release Notes (draft)
2
+========================
3
+
4
+Updates since v1.7.5
5
+--------------------
6
+
7
+ * Various git-svn updates.
8
+
9
+ * When an object "$tree:$path" does not exist, if $path does exist in the
10
+ subtree of $tree that corresponds to the subdirectory the user is in,
11
+ git now suggests using "$tree:./$path" in addition to the advice to use
12
+ the full path from the root of the working tree.
13
+
14
+ * "git blame" learned "--abbrev[=<n>]" option to control the minimum
15
+ number of hexdigits shown for commit object names.
16
+
17
+ * "git clean" used to fail on an empty directory that is not readable,
18
+ even though rmdir(2) could remove such a directory. Now we attempt it
19
+ as the last resort.
20
+
21
+ * "git format-patch" learned "--quiet" option to suppress the output of
22
+ the names of generated files.
23
+
24
+ * "git merge" learned "-" as a short-hand for "the previous branch", just
25
+ like the way "git checkout -" works.
26
+
27
+ * "git pack-object" now takes core.bigfilethreashold into account, just
28
+ like fast-imoprt does.
29
+
30
+ * "git reflog" allows options like "--format=.." to be given.
31
+
32
+ * "git stash apply" can now apply to a working tree with changes as long
33
+ as there is no overlapping change as the stash being applied.
34
+
35
+ * "git stash apply @{99999}" now is diagnosed as an error, unless you
36
+ really have that many stash entries.
37
+
38
+Also contains various documentation updates.
39
+

+
41
+Fixes since v1.7.5
42
+------------------
43
+
44
+Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes in 1.7.5.X maintenance track are
45
+included in this release.
46
+
47
+ * The "--date=relative" output format used to say "X years, 12 months"
48
+ when it should have said "X+1 years".
49
+ (merge mg/x-years-12-months later)
50
+
51
+ * "git config" used to choke with an insanely long line.
52
+ (merge ef/maint-strbuf-init later)
53
+
54
+ * The "--dirstat" option of "diff" family of commands used to totally
55
+ ignore a change that only rearranged lines within a file. Such a
56
+ change now counts as at least a minimum but non zero change.
57
+
58
+ * The "--dirstat" option of "diff" family of commands used to use the
59
+ pathname in the original, instead of the pathname in the result,
60
+ when renames are involved.
61
+ (merge jh/dirstat for the above two later)
62
+
63
+ * "git format-patch" when run with "--quiet" option used to produce a
64
+ nonsense result that consists of alternating empty output.
65
+ (merge early part of cn/format-patch-quiet later)
66
+
67
+ * "git stash -p --no-keep-index" and "git stash --no-keep-index -p" now
68
+ mean the same thing.
69
+ (merge dm/stash-k-i-p later)
70
+
71
+ * "git upload-pack" (hence "git push" over git native protocol) had a
72
+ subtle race condition that could lead to a deadlock.
73
+ (merge jk/maint-upload-pack-shallow later)
