Now we attempt it + as the last resort. + + * "git format-patch" learned "--quiet" option to suppress the output of + the names of generated files. + + * "git merge" learned "-" as a short-hand for "the previous branch", just + like the way "git checkout -" works. + + * "git pack-object" now takes core.bigfilethreashold into account, just + like fast-imoprt does. + + * "git reflog" allows options like "--format=.." to be given. + + * "git stash apply" can now apply to a working tree with changes as long + as there is no overlapping change as the stash being applied. + + * "git stash apply @{99999}" now is diagnosed as an error, unless you + really have that many stash entries. + +Also contains various documentation updates. + + +Fixes since v1.7.5 +------------------ + +Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes in 1.7.5.X maintenance track are +included in this release. + + * The "--date=relative" output format used to say "X years, 12 months" + when it should have said "X+1 years". + (merge mg/x-years-12-months later) + + * "git config" used to choke with an insanely long line. + (merge ef/maint-strbuf-init later) + + * The "--dirstat" option of "diff" family of commands used to totally + ignore a change that only rearranged lines within a file. Such a + change now counts as at least a minimum but non zero change. + + * The "--dirstat" option of "diff" family of commands used to use the + pathname in the original, instead of the pathname in the result, + when renames are involved. + (merge jh/dirstat for the above two later) + + * "git format-patch" when run with "--quiet" option used to produce a + nonsense result that consists of alternating empty output. + (merge early part of cn/format-patch-quiet later) + + * "git stash -p --no-keep-index" and "git stash --no-keep-index -p" now + mean the same thing. + (merge dm/stash-k-i-p later) + + * "git upload-pack" (hence "git push" over git native protocol) had a + subtle race condition that could lead to a deadlock. + (merge jk/maint-upload-pack-shallow later) + +--- +exec >/var/tmp/1 +echo O=$(git describe master) +O=v1.7.5 +git shortlog --no-merges ^maint ^$O master |
