Git v1.7.4.2 Release Notes
2+
==========================
3+
4+
Fixes since v1.7.4.1
5+
--------------------
6+
7+
* Many documentation updates to match "git cmd -h" output and the
8+
git-cmd manual page.
9+
10+
* "git clone /no/such/path" did not fail correctly.
11+
12+
* "git commit" did not correctly error out when the user asked to use a
13+
non existent file as the commit message template.
14+
15+
* "git diff --stat -B" ran on binary files counted the changes in lines,
16+
which was nonsensical.
17+
18+
* "git diff -M" opportunistically detected copies, which was not
19+
necessarily a good thing, especially when it is internally run by
20+
recursive merge.
21+
22+
* "git difftool" didn't tell (g)vimdiff that the files it is reading are
23+
to be opened read-only.
24+
25+
* "git merge" didn't pay attention to prepare-commit-msg hook, even
26+
though if a merge is conflicted and manually resolved, the subsequent
27+
"git commit" would have triggered the hook, which was inconsistent.
28+
29+
* "git patch-id" (and commands like "format-patch --ignore-in-upstream"
30+
that use it as their internal logic) handled changes to files that end
31+
with incomplete lines incorrectly.
32+
33+
* The official value to tell "git push" to push the current branch back
34+
to update the upstream branch it forked from is now called "upstream".
35+
The old name "tracking" is and will be supported.
36+
37+
* gitweb's "highlight" interface mishandled tabs.
38+
39+
* gitweb had a few forward-incompatible syntactic constructs and
40+
also used incorrect variable when showing the file mode in a diff.
41+
42+
And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
