+Git v1.7.4.2 Release Notes
2
+==========================
3
+
4
+Fixes since v1.7.4.1
5
+--------------------
6
+
7
+ * Many documentation updates to match "git cmd -h" output and the
8
+ git-cmd manual page.
9
+
10
+ * "git clone /no/such/path" did not fail correctly.
11
+
12
+ * "git commit" did not correctly error out when the user asked to use a
13
+ non existent file as the commit message template.
14
+
15
+ * "git diff --stat -B" ran on binary files counted the changes in lines,
16
+ which was nonsensical.
17
+
18
+ * "git diff -M" opportunistically detected copies, which was not
19
+ necessarily a good thing, especially when it is internally run by
20
+ recursive merge.
21
+
22
+ * "git difftool" didn't tell (g)vimdiff that the files it is reading are
23
+ to be opened read-only.
24
+
25
+ * "git merge" didn't pay attention to prepare-commit-msg hook, even
26
+ though if a merge is conflicted and manually resolved, the subsequent
27
+ "git commit" would have triggered the hook, which was inconsistent.
28
+
29
+ * "git patch-id" (and commands like "format-patch --ignore-in-upstream"
30
+ that use it as their internal logic) handled changes to files that end
31
+ with incomplete lines incorrectly.
32
+
33
+ * The official value to tell "git push" to push the current branch back
34
+ to update the upstream branch it forked from is now called "upstream".
35
+ The old name "tracking" is and will be supported.
36
+
37
+ * gitweb's "highlight" interface mishandled tabs.
38
+
39
+ * gitweb had a few forward-incompatible syntactic constructs and
40
+ also used incorrect variable when showing the file mode in a diff.
41
+
42
+And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
