This meant that the exit status of the whole thing comes from the +pager, not the underlying git command. We swapped the order of the +processes around and you will see the exit code from the command from now +on. + +(subsystems) + +* ... + +(portability) + +* ... + +(documentation) + +* ... + +(performance) + +* The underlying diff machinery to produce textual output has been + optimized, which would result in faster "git blame" processing. + +(usability, bells and whistles) + +* "git checkout --track origin/hack" used to be a syntax error. It now + DWIMs to create a corresponding local branch "hack", i.e. acts as if you + said "git checkout --track -b hack origin/hack". + +* "git diff" learned to mimick --suppress-blank-empty from GNU diff via a + configuration option. + +* "git imap-send" can optionally talk SSL. + +(internal) + +* "git hash-object" learned to lie about the path being hashed, so that + correct gitattributes processing can be done while hashing contents + stored in a temporary file. + +Fixes since v1.6.0 +------------------ + +All of the fixes in v1.6.0.X maintenance series are included in this +release, unless otherwise noted. + +-- +exec >/var/tmp/1 +O=v1.6.0-48-ge28a867 +echo O=$(git describe master) +git shortlog --no-merges $O..master ^maint |
