Git v1.7.4 Release Notes (draft)
2+
================================
3+
4+
Updates since v1.7.3
5+
--------------------
6+
7+
* The option parsers of various commands that create new branch (or
8+
rename existing ones to a new name) were too loose and users were
9+
allowed to call a branch with a name that begins with a dash by
10+
creative abuse of their command line options, which only lead to
11+
burn themselves. The name of a branch cannot begin with a dash
12+
now.
13+
14+
* System-wide fallback default attributes can be stored in
15+
/etc/gitattributes; core.attributesfile configuration variable can
16+
be used to customize the path to this file.
17+
18+
* "git diff" and "git grep" learned how functions and subroutines
19+
in Fortran look like.
20+
21+
* "git log -G<pattern>" limits the output to commits whose change has
22+
added or deleted lines that match the given pattern.
23+
24+
* "git read-tree" with no argument as a way to empty the index is
25+
deprecated; we might want to remove it in the future. Users can
26+
use the new --empty option to be more explicit instead.
27+
28+
* "git merge --log" used to limit the resulting merge log to 20
29+
entries; this is now customizable by giving e.g. "--log=47".
30+
31+
* you can extend "git shell", which is often used on boxes that allow
32+
git-only login over ssh as login shell, with custom set of
33+
commands.
34+
35+
Also contains various documentation updates.
36+
37+
38+
Fixes since v1.7.3
39+
------------------
40+
41+
All of the fixes in v1.7.3.X maintenance series are included in this
42+
release, unless otherwise noted.
43+
44+
* "git log --author=me --author=her" did not find commits written by
45+
me or by her; instead it looked for commits written by me and by
46+
her, which is impossible.
