44Fixes since v1.7.5
55------------------

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+
712 * The "--date=relative" output format used to say "X years, 12 months"
813 when it should have said "X+1 years".
914
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+
1043 * An error message from "git send-email" to diagnose a broken SMTP
1144 connection configuration lacked a space between "hello=<smtp-domain>"
1245 and "port=<smtp-server-port>".
