Documentation: move RelNotes into a directory of their own
There are 108 of them already. That's a bit more than one third of all the files in the Documentation directory already, and still growing. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

-GIT v1.5.1 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Updates since v1.5.0
---------------------
-
-* Deprecated commands and options.
-
- - git-diff-stages and git-resolve have been removed.
-
-* New commands and options.
-
- - "git log" and friends take --reverse, which instructs them
- to give their output in the order opposite from their usual.
- They typically output from new to old, but with this option
- their output would read from old to new. "git shortlog"
- usually lists older commits first, but with this option,
- they are shown from new to old.
-
- - "git log --pretty=format:<string>" to allow more flexible
- custom log output.
-
- - "git diff" learned --ignore-space-at-eol. This is a weaker
- form of --ignore-space-change.
-
- - "git diff --no-index pathA pathB" can be used as diff
- replacement with git specific enhancements.
-
- - "git diff --no-index" can read from '-' (standard input).
-
- - "git diff" also learned --exit-code to exit with non-zero
- status when it found differences. In the future we might
- want to make this the default but that would be a rather big
- backward incompatible change; it will stay as an option for
- now.
-
- - "git diff --quiet" is --exit-code with output turned off,
- meant for scripted use to quickly determine if there is any
- tree-level difference.
-
- - Textual patch generation with "git diff" without -w/-b
- option has been significantly optimized. "git blame" got
- faster because of the same change.
-
- - "git log" and "git rev-list" has been optimized
- significantly when they are used with pathspecs.
-
- - "git branch --track" can be used to set up configuration
- variables to help it easier to base your work on branches
- you track from a remote site.
-
- - "git format-patch --attach" now emits attachments. Use
- --inline to get an inlined multipart/mixed.
-
- - "git name-rev" learned --refs=<pattern>, to limit the tags
- used for naming the given revisions only to the ones
- matching the given pattern.
-
- - "git remote update" is to run "git fetch" for defined remotes
- to update tracking branches.
-
- - "git cvsimport" can now take '-d' to talk with a CVS
- repository different from what are recorded in CVS/Root
- (overriding it with environment CVSROOT does not work).
-
- - "git bundle" can help sneaker-netting your changes between
- repositories.
-
- - "git mergetool" can help 3-way file-level conflict
- resolution with your favorite graphical merge tools.
-
- - A new configuration "core.symlinks" can be used to disable
- symlinks on filesystems that do not support them; they are
- checked out as regular files instead.
-
- - You can name a commit object with its first line of the
- message. The syntax to use is ':/message text'. E.g.
-
- $ git show ":/object name: introduce ':/<oneline prefix>' notation"
-
- means the same thing as:
-
- $ git show 28a4d940443806412effa246ecc7768a21553ec7
-
- - "git bisect" learned a new command "run" that takes a script
- to run after each revision is checked out to determine if it
- is good or bad, to automate the bisection process.
-
- - "git log" family learned a new traversal option --first-parent,
- which does what the name suggests.
-
-
-* Updated behavior of existing commands.
-
- - "git-merge-recursive" used to barf when there are more than
- one common ancestors for the merge, and merging them had a
- rename/rename conflict. This has been fixed.
-
- - "git fsck" does not barf on corrupt loose objects.
-
- - "git rm" does not remove newly added files without -f.
-
- - "git archimport" allows remapping when coming up with git
- branch names from arch names.
-
- - git-svn got almost a rewrite.
-
- - core.autocrlf configuration, when set to 'true', makes git
- to convert CRLF at the end of lines in text files to LF when
- reading from the filesystem, and convert in reverse when
- writing to the filesystem. The variable can be set to
- 'input', in which case the conversion happens only while
- reading from the filesystem but files are written out with
- LF at the end of lines. Currently, which paths to consider
- 'text' (i.e. be subjected to the autocrlf mechanism) is
- decided purely based on the contents, but the plan is to
- allow users to explicitly override this heuristic based on
- paths.
-
- - The behavior of 'git-apply', when run in a subdirectory,
- without --index nor --cached were inconsistent with that of
- the command with these options. This was fixed to match the
- behavior with --index. A patch that is meant to be applied
- with -p1 from the toplevel of the project tree can be
- applied with any custom -p<n> option. A patch that is not
- relative to the toplevel needs to be applied with -p<n>
- option with or without --index (or --cached).
-
- - "git diff" outputs a trailing HT when pathnames have embedded
- SP on +++/--- header lines, in order to help "GNU patch" to
- parse its output. "git apply" was already updated to accept
- this modified output format since ce74618d (Sep 22, 2006).
-
- - "git cvsserver" runs hooks/update and honors its exit status.
-
- - "git cvsserver" can be told to send everything with -kb.
-
- - "git diff --check" also honors the --color output option.
-
- - "git name-rev" used to stress the fact that a ref is a tag too
- much, by saying something like "v1.2.3^0~22". It now says
- "v1.2.3~22" in such a case (it still says "v1.2.3^0" if it does
- not talk about an ancestor of the commit that is tagged, which
- makes sense).
-
- - "git rev-list --boundary" now shows boundary markers for the
- commits omitted by --max-age and --max-count condition.
-
- - The configuration mechanism now reads $(prefix)/etc/gitconfig.
-
- - "git apply --verbose" shows what preimage lines were wanted
- when it couldn't find them.
-
- - "git status" in a read-only repository got a bit saner.
-
- - "git fetch" (hence "git clone" and "git pull") are less
- noisy when the output does not go to tty.
-
- - "git fetch" between repositories with many refs were slow
- even when there are not many changes that needed
- transferring. This has been sped up by partially rewriting
- the heaviest parts in C.
-
- - "git mailinfo" which splits an e-mail into a patch and the
- meta-information was rewritten, thanks to Don Zickus. It
- handles nested multipart better. The command was broken for
- a brief period on 'master' branch since 1.5.0 but the
- breakage is fixed now.
-
- - send-email learned configurable bcc and chain-reply-to.
-
- - "git remote show $remote" also talks about branches that
- would be pushed if you run "git push remote".
-
- - Using objects from packs is now seriously optimized by clever
- use of a cache. This should be most noticeable in git-log
- family of commands that involve reading many tree objects.
- In addition, traversing revisions while filtering changes
- with pathspecs is made faster by terminating the comparison
- between the trees as early as possible.
-
-
-* Hooks
-
- - The part to send out notification e-mails was removed from
- the sample update hook, as it was not an appropriate place
- to do so. The proper place to do this is the new post-receive
- hook. An example hook has been added to contrib/hooks/.
-
-
-* Others
-
- - git-revert, git-gc and git-cherry-pick are now built-ins.
-
-Fixes since v1.5.0
-------------------
-
-These are all in v1.5.0.x series.
-
-* Documentation updates
-
- - Clarifications and corrections to 1.5.0 release notes.
-
- - The main documentation did not link to git-remote documentation.
-
- - Clarified introductory text of git-rebase documentation.
-
- - Converted remaining mentions of update-index on Porcelain
- documents to git-add/git-rm.
-
- - Some i18n.* configuration variables were incorrectly
- described as core.*; fixed.
-
- - added and clarified core.bare, core.legacyheaders configurations.
-
- - updated "git-clone --depth" documentation.
-
- - user-manual updates.
-
- - Options to 'git remote add' were described insufficiently.
-
- - Configuration format.suffix was not documented.
-
- - Other formatting and spelling fixes.
-
- - user-manual has better cross references.
-
- - gitweb installation/deployment procedure is now documented.
-
-
-* Bugfixes
-
- - git-upload-pack closes unused pipe ends; earlier this caused
- many zombies to hang around.
-
- - git-rerere was recording the contents of earlier hunks
- duplicated in later hunks. This prevented resolving the same
- conflict when performing the same merge the other way around.
-
- - git-add and git-update-index on a filesystem on which
- executable bits are unreliable incorrectly reused st_mode
- bits even when the path changed between symlink and regular
- file.
-
- - git-daemon marks the listening sockets with FD_CLOEXEC so
- that it won't be leaked into the children.
-
- - segfault from git-blame when the mandatory pathname
- parameter was missing was fixed; usage() message is given
- instead.
-
- - git-rev-list did not read $GIT_DIR/config file, which means
- that did not honor i18n.logoutputencoding correctly.
-
- - Automated merge conflict handling when changes to symbolic
- links conflicted were completely broken. The merge-resolve
- strategy created a regular file with conflict markers in it
- in place of the symbolic link. The default strategy,
- merge-recursive was even more broken. It removed the path
- that was pointed at by the symbolic link. Both of these
- problems have been fixed.
-
- - 'git diff maint master next' did not correctly give combined
- diff across three trees.
-
- - 'git fast-import' portability fix for Solaris.
-
- - 'git show-ref --verify' without arguments did not error out
- but segfaulted.
-
- - 'git diff :tracked-file `pwd`/an-untracked-file' gave an extra
- slashes after a/ and b/.
-
- - 'git format-patch' produced too long filenames if the commit
- message had too long line at the beginning.
-
- - Running 'make all' and then without changing anything
- running 'make install' still rebuilt some files. This
- was inconvenient when building as yourself and then
- installing as root (especially problematic when the source
- directory is on NFS and root is mapped to nobody).
-
- - 'git-rerere' failed to deal with two unconflicted paths that
- sorted next to each other.
-
- - 'git-rerere' attempted to open(2) a symlink and failed if
- there was a conflict. Since a conflicting change to a
- symlink would not benefit from rerere anyway, the command
- now ignores conflicting changes to symlinks.
-
- - 'git-repack' did not like to pass more than 64 arguments
- internally to underlying 'rev-list' logic, which made it
- impossible to repack after accumulating many (small) packs
- in the repository.
-
- - 'git-diff' to review the combined diff during a conflicted
- merge were not reading the working tree version correctly
- when changes to a symbolic link conflicted. It should have
- read the data using readlink(2) but read from the regular
- file the symbolic link pointed at.
-
- - 'git-remote' did not like period in a remote's name.
-
- - 'git.el' honors the commit coding system from the configuration.
-
- - 'blameview' in contrib/ correctly digs deeper when a line is
- clicked.
-
- - 'http-push' correctly makes sure the remote side has leading
- path. Earlier it started in the middle of the path, and
- incorrectly.
-
- - 'git-merge' did not exit with non-zero status when the
- working tree was dirty and cannot fast forward. It does
- now.
-
- - 'cvsexportcommit' does not lose yet-to-be-used message file.
-
- - int-vs-size_t typefix when running combined diff on files
- over 2GB long.
-
- - 'git apply --whitespace=strip' should not touch unmodified
- lines.
-
- - 'git-mailinfo' choke when a logical header line was too long.
-
- - 'git show A..B' did not error out. Negative ref ("not A" in
- this example) does not make sense for the purpose of the
- command, so now it errors out.
-
- - 'git fmt-merge-msg --file' without file parameter did not
- correctly error out.
-
- - 'git archimport' barfed upon encountering a commit without
- summary.
-
- - 'git index-pack' did not protect itself from getting a short
- read out of pread(2).
-
- - 'git http-push' had a few buffer overruns.
-
- - Build dependency fixes to rebuild fetch.o when other headers
- change.
-
- - git.el does not add duplicate sign-off lines.
-
- - git-commit shows the full stat of the resulting commit, not
- just about the files in the current directory, when run from
- a subdirectory.
-
- - "git-checkout -m '@{8 hours ago}'" had a funny failure from
- eval; fixed.
-
- - git-merge (hence git-pull) did not refuse fast-forwarding
- when the working tree had local changes that would have
- conflicted with it.
-
- - a handful small fixes to gitweb.
-
- - build procedure for user-manual is fixed not to require locally
- installed stylesheets.
-
- - "git commit $paths" on paths whose earlier contents were
- already updated in the index were failing out.
-
-
-* Tweaks
-
- - sliding mmap() inefficiently mmaped the same region of a
- packfile with an access pattern that used objects in the
- reverse order. This has been made more efficient.
