   5--------------------

   7* Bugfixes
   8
   9  - git-add tried to optimize by finding common leading
  10    directories across its arguments but botched, causing very
  11    confused behaviour.
  12
  13  - unofficial rpm.spec file shipped with git was letting
  14    ETC_GITCONFIG set to /usr/etc/gitconfig.  Tweak the official
  15    Makefile to make it harder for distro people to make the
  16    same mistake, by setting the variable to /etc/gitconfig if
  17    prefix is set to /usr.
  18
  19  - git-svn inconsistently stripped away username from the URL
  20    only when svnsync_props was in use.
  21
  22  - git-svn got confused when handling symlinks on Mac OS.
  23
  24  - git-send-email was not quoting recipient names that have
  25    period '.' in them.  Also it did not allow overriding
  26    envelope sender, which made it impossible to send patches to
  27    certain subscriber-only lists.
  28
  29  - built-in write_tree() routine had a sequence that renamed a
  30    file that is still open, which some systems did not like.
  31
  32  - when memory is very tight, sliding mmap code to read
  33    packfiles incorrectly closed the fd that was still being
  34    used to read the pack.
  35
  36  - import-tars contributed front-end for fastimport was passing
  37    wrong directory modes without checking.
  38
  39  - git-fastimport trusted its input too much and allowed to
  40    create corrupt tree objects with entries without a name.
  41
  42  - git-fetch needlessly barfed when too long reflog action
  43    description was given by the caller.
  44
  45Also contains various documentation updates.
