Git v1.7.5 Release Notes (draft)
2+
========================
3+
4+
Updates since v1.7.4
5+
--------------------
6+
7+
* Various MinGW portability fixes.
8+
9+
* Various git-p4 enhancements (in contrib).
10+
11+
* "git config" used to be also known as "git repo-config", but the old
12+
name is now officially deprecated.
13+
14+
* "git checkout --detach <commit>" is a more user friendly synonym for
15+
"git checkout <commit>^0".
16+
17+
* "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can be told to use custom merge
18+
strategy, similar to "git rebase".
19+
20+
* "rev-list --objects $revs -- $pathspec" would limit the objects listed
21+
in its output properly with the pathspec, in preparation for narrow
22+
clones.
23+
24+
* "git log" family of commands now understand globbing pathspecs. You
25+
can say "git log -- '*.txt'" for example.
26+
27+
* "git rerere" learned a new subcommand "remaining", that is similar to
28+
"status" that lists the paths that had conflicts that are known to
29+
rerere, but excludes the paths that have already been marked as
30+
resolved in the index from its output. "git mergetool" has been
31+
updated to use this facility.
32+
33+
* A possible value to the "push.default" configuration variable,
34+
'tracking', gained a synonym that more naturally describes what it
35+
does, 'upstream'.
36+
37+
Also contains various documentation updates.
38+
39+
40+
Fixes since v1.7.4
41+
------------------
42+
43+
All of the fixes in the v1.7.4.X maintenance series are included in this
44+
release, unless otherwise noted.
45+
46+
* "git merge" triggers prepare-commit-msg hook. Earlier, only "git
47+
commit" to conclude an interrupted merge triggered the hook, leading to
48+
an inconsistent overall user experience (js/maint-merge-use-prepare-commit-msg-hook).
