   1GIT v1.5.3.7 Release Notes
   2==========================
   3
   4Fixes since v1.5.3.6
   5--------------------
   6
   7 * git-send-email added 8-bit contents to the payload without
   8   marking it as 8-bit in a CTE header.
   9
  10 * "git-bundle create a.bndl HEAD" dereferenced the symref and
  11   did not record the ref as 'HEAD'; this prevented a bundle
  12   from being used as a normal source of git-clone.
  13
  14 * The code to reject nonsense command line of the form
  15   "git-commit -a paths..." and "git-commit --interactive
  16   paths..." were broken.
  17
  18 * Adding a signature that is not ASCII-only to an original
  19   commit that is ASCII-only would make the result non-ASCII.
  20   "git-format-patch -s" did not mark such a message correctly
  21   with MIME encoding header.
  22
  23 * git-add sometimes did not mark the resulting index entry
  24   stat-clean.  This affected only cases when adding the
  25   contents with the same length as the previously staged
  26   contents, and the previous staging made the index entry
  27   "racily clean".
  28
  29 * git-commit did not honor GIT_INDEX_FILE the user had in the
  30   environment.
  31
  32 * When checking out a revision, git-checkout did not report where the
  33   updated HEAD is if you happened to have a file called HEAD in the
  34   work tree.
  35
  36 * "git-rev-list --objects" mishandled a tree that points at a
  37   submodule.
  38
  39 * "git cvsimport" was not ready for packed refs that "git gc" can
  40   produce and gave incorrect results.
  41
  42 * Many scripted Porcelains were confused when you happened to have a
  43   file called "HEAD" in your work tree.
  44
  45Also it contains updates to the user manual and documentation.
