Updates since v1.7.1
--------------------
* The whitespace rules used in "git apply --whitespace" and "git diff"
gained a new member in the family (tab-in-indent) to help projects with
policy to indent only with spaces.
* Authentication over http transport can now be made lazily, in that the
request can first go to a URL without username, get a 401 response and
then the client will ask for the username to use.
* When working from a subdirectory, by default, git does not look for its
metadirectory ".git" across filesystems, primarily to help people who
have invocations of git in their custom PS1 prompts, as being outside
of a git repository would look for ".git" all the way up to the root
directory, and NFS mounts are often slow. DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM
environment variable can be used to tell git not to stop at a
filesystem boundary.
* "git" wrapper learned "-c name=value" option to override configuration
variable from the command line.
* After "git apply --whitespace=fix" removed trailing blank lines in an
patch in a patch series, it failed to apply later patches that depend
on the presense of such blank lines.
* "git checkout --orphan newbranch" is similar to "-b newbranch" but
prepares to create a root commit that is not connected to any existing
commit.
* "git commit --amend" on a commit with an invalid author-name line that
lacks the display name didn't work (fb7749e4).
* "git cvsserver" can be told to use pserver; its password file can be
stored outside the repository.
* "git describe" tie-breaks tags that point at the same commit better by
paying attention to the tagger date (newer ones are preferred).
* The output from the textconv filter used by "git diff" can be cached to
speed up their reuse.
* "git send-email" learned --smtp-domain option to specify the domainname
used in the EHLO/HELO exchange.
* "git diff --color" did not paint extended diff headers per line
(i.e. the coloring escape sequence didn't end at the end of line),
which confused "less -R".
* "git diff --word-diff=<mode>" extends the existing "--color-words"
option, making it more useful in color-challenged environments.
* The regexp to detect function headers used by "git diff" for PHP has
been enhanced for visibility modifiers (public, protected, etc.) to
better support PHP5.
* "git fetch" over HTTP verifies the downloaded packfiles more robustly.
* "git for-each-ref" learned "%(objectname:short)" that gives the object
name abbreviated.
* Various options to "git grep" (e.g. --count, --name-only) work better
with binary files.
* The memory usage by "git index-pack" (run during "git fetch" and "git
push") got leaner.
* "git log --follow <path>" follows across copies (it used to only follow
renames). This may make the processing more expensive.
* "git notes prune" learned "-n" (dry-run) and "-v" options, similar to
what "git prune" has.
* "git patch-id" can be fed a mbox without getting confused by the
signature line in the format-patch output.
* "git revert" learned --strategy option to specify the merge strategy.
* The whitespace rules used in "git apply --whitespace" and "git diff"
gained a new member in the family (tab-in-indent) to help projects with
policy to indent only with spaces.
* "git send-email" learned --smtp-domain option to specify the domainname
used in the EHLO/HELO exchange.
* Authentication over http transport can now be made lazily, in that the
request can first go to a URL without username, get a 401 response and
then the client will ask for the username to use.
* "git status [-s] --ignored" can be used to list ignored paths.
* Various "gitweb" enhancements and clean-ups, including syntax
highlighting.
Fixes since v1.7.1
------------------
* In 1.7.1, "git status" stopped refreshing the index by mistake.
All of the fixes in v1.7.1.X maintenance series are included in this
release, unless otherwise noted.
* We didn't recognize timezone "Z" as a synonym for "UTC" (75b37e70).
* In 1.7.1, "git status" stopped refreshing the index by mistake
(e251a7b3^2).
* We used to mistakenly think "../work" is a subdirectory of the current
directory when we are in "../work-xyz" (490544b).
* "git checkout" and "git rebase" overwrote paths that are marked "assume
unchanged" (aecda37c).
* "git clone/fetch/pull" issued an incorrect error message when a ref and
a symref that points to the ref were updated at the same time. This
obviously would update them to the same value, and should not result in
an error condition (da3efdb).
* "git clone" did not configure remote.origin.url correctly for bare
clones (df61c889).
* "git diff" used to tell underlying xdiff machinery to work very hard to
minimize the output, but this often was spending too many extra cycles
for very little gain (582aa00).
* "git pull" accepted "--dry-run", gave it to underlying "git fetch" but
ignored the option itself, resulting in a bogus attempt to merge
unrelated commit (29609e68).
* "git reset --hard" started from a wrong directory and a working tree in
a nonstandard location is in use got confused (560fb6a1).
* "git stash" incorrectly lost paths in the working tree that were
previously removed from the index (7aa5d43).
