Fixes since v1.7.5

------------------
6
6
7
+ * When an object "$tree:$path" does not exist, if $path does exist in the
8
+ subtree of $tree that corresponds to the subdirectory the user is in,
9
+ git now suggests using "$tree:./$path" in addition to the advice to use
10
+ the full path from the root of the working tree.
11
+
7
12
* The "--date=relative" output format used to say "X years, 12 months"
8
13
when it should have said "X+1 years".
9
14
15
+ * The smart-HTTP transfer was broken in 1.7.5 when the client needs
16
+ to issue a small POST (which uses content-length) and then a large
17
+ POST (which uses chunked) back to back.
18
+
19
+ * "git clean" used to fail on an empty directory that is not readable,
20
+ even though rmdir(2) could remove such a directory. Now we attempt it
21
+ as the last resort.
22
+
23
+ * The "--dirstat" option of "diff" family of commands used to totally
24
+ ignore a change that only rearranged lines within a file. Such a
25
+ change now counts as at least a minimum but non zero change.
26
+
27
+ * The "--dirstat" option of "diff" family of commands used to use the
28
+ pathname in the original, instead of the pathname in the result,
29
+ when renames are involved.
30
+
31
+ * "git pack-object" did not take core.bigfilethreashold into account
32
+ (unlike fast-import); now it does.
33
+
34
+ * "git reflog" ignored options like "--format=.." on the command line.
35
+
36
+ * "git stash apply" used to refuse to work if there was any change in
37
+ the working tree, even when the change did not overlap with the change
38
+ the stash recorded.
39
+
40
+ * "git stash apply @{99999}" was not diagnosed as an error, even when you
41
+ did not have that many stash entries.
42
+
10
43
* An error message from "git send-email" to diagnose a broken SMTP
11
44
connection configuration lacked a space between "hello=<smtp-domain>"
12
45
and "port=<smtp-server-port>".
