   1Git v1.7.5.2 Release Notes
   2==========================
   3
   4The release notes to 1.7.5.1 forgot to mention:
   5
   6 * "git stash -p --no-keep-index" and "git stash --no-keep-index -p" now
   7   mean the same thing.
   8
   9 * "git upload-pack" (hence "git push" over git native protocol) had a
  10   subtle race condition that could lead to a deadlock.
  11
  12Fixes since v1.7.5.1
  13--------------------
  14
  15 * "git add -p" did not work correctly when a hunk is split and then
  16   one of them was given to the editor.
  17
  18 * "git add -u" did not resolve a conflict where our history deleted and
  19   their history modified the same file, and the working tree resolved to
  20   keep a file.
  21
  22 * "git cvsimport" did not know that CVSNT stores its password file in a
  23   location different from the traditional CVS.
  24
  25 * "git diff-files" did not show the mode information from the working
  26   tree side of an unmerged path correctly.
  27
  28 * "git diff -M --cached" used to use unmerged path as a possible rename
  29   source candidate, which made no sense.
  30
  31 * The option name parser in "git fast-import" used prefix matches for
  32   some options where it shouldn't, and accepted non-existent options,
  33   e.g. "--relative-marksmith" or "--forceps".
  34
  35 * "git format-patch" did not quote RFC822 special characters in the
  36   email address (e.g From: Junio C. Hamano <jch@example.com>, not
  37   From: "Junio C. Hamano" <jch@example.com>).
  38
  39 * "git format-patch" when run with "--quiet" option used to produce a
  40   nonsense result that consists of alternating empty output.
  41
  42 * In "git merge", per-branch branch.<name>.mergeoptions configuration
  43   variables did not override the fallback default merge.<option>
  44   configuration variables such as merge.ff, merge.log, etc.
  45
  46 * "git merge-one-file" did not honor GIT_WORK_TREE settings when
  47   handling a "both sides added, differently" conflict.
  48
  49 * "git mergetool" did not handle conflicted submoudules gracefully.
  50
  51 * "git-p4" (in contrib) used a wrong base image while merge a file that
  52   was added on both branches differently.
  53
  54 * "git rebase -i -p" failed to preserve the history when there is a
  55   redundant merge created with the --no-ff option.
