   1Git v1.7.11.5 Release Notes
   2===========================
   3
   4Fixes since v1.7.11.4
   5---------------------
   6
   7 * The Makefile rule to create assembly output (primarily for
   8   debugging purposes) did not create it next to the source.
   9
  10 * The code to avoid mistaken attempt to add the object directory
  11   itself as its own alternate could read beyond end of a string while
  12   comparison.
  13
  14 * On some architectures, "block-sha1" did not compile correctly
  15   when compilers inferred alignment guarantees from our source we
  16   did not intend to make.
  17
  18 * When talking to a remote running ssh on IPv6 enabled host, whose
  19   address is spelled as "[HOST]:PORT", we did not parse the address
  20   correctly and failed to connect.
  21
  22 * git-blame.el (in compat/) have been updated to use Elisp more
  23   correctly.
  24
  25 * "git checkout <branchname>" to come back from a detached HEAD state
  26   incorrectly computed reachability of the detached HEAD, resulting
  27   in unnecessary warnings.
  28
  29 * "git mergetool" did not support --tool-help option to give the list
  30   of supported backends, like "git difftool" does.
  31
  32 * "git grep" stopped spawning an external "grep" long time ago, but a
  33   duplicated test to check internal and external "grep" was left
  34   behind.
  35
  36Also contains minor typofixes and documentation updates.
