   4Fixes since v1.5.1
   5------------------
   6
   7* Documentation updates
   8
   9  - The --left-right option of rev-list and friends is documented.
  10
  11  - The documentation for cvsimport has been majorly improved.
  12
  13  - "git-show-ref --exclude-existing" was documented.
  14
  15* Bugfixes
  16
  17  - The implementation of -p option in "git cvsexportcommit" had
  18    the meaning of -C (context reduction) option wrong, and
  19    loosened the context requirements when it was told to be
  20    strict.
  21
  22  - "git cvsserver" did not behave like the real cvsserver when
  23    client side removed a file from the working tree without
  24    doing anything else on the path.  In such a case, it should
  25    restore it from the checked out revision.
  26
  27  - "git fsck" issued an alarming error message on detached
  28    HEAD.  It is not an error since at least 1.5.0.
  29
  30  - "git send-email" produced of References header of unbounded length;
  31    fixed this with line-folding.
  32
  33  - "git archive" to download from remote site should not
  34    require you to be in a git repository, but it incorrectly
  35    did.
  36
  37  - "git apply" ignored -p<n> for "diff --git" formatted
  38    patches.
  39
  40  - "git rerere" recorded a conflict that had one side empty
  41    (the other side adds) incorrectly; this made merging in the
  42    other direction fail to use previously recorded resolution.
  43
  44  - t4200 test was broken where "wc -l" pads its output with
  45    spaces.
  46
  47  - "git branch -m old new" to rename branch did not work
  48    without a configuration file in ".git/config".
  49
  50  - The sample hook for notification e-mail was misnamed.
  51
  52  - gitweb did not show type-changing patch correctly in the
  53    blobdiff view.
  54
  55  - git-svn did not error out with incorrect command line options.
  56
  57  - git-svn fell into an infinite loop when insanely long commit
  58    message was found.
  59
  60  - git-svn dcommit and rebase was confused by patches that were
  61    merged from another branch that is managed by git-svn.
  62
  63  - git-svn used to get confused when globbing remote branch/tag
  64    spec (e.g. "branches = proj/branches/*:refs/remotes/origin/*")
  65    is used and there was a plain file that matched the glob.
