  28-------------------

  30Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.7.10 in the maintenance
  31releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
  32details).
  33
  34 * "git commit --author=$name" did not tell the name that was being
  35   recorded in the resulting commit to hooks, even though it does do
  36   so when the end user overrode the authorship via the
  37   "GIT_AUTHOR_NAME" environment variable.
  38   (merge 7dfe8ad jc/commit-hook-authorship later to maint).
  39
  40 * The regexp configured with diff.wordregex was incorrectly reused
  41   across files.
  42   (merge 6440d34 tr/maint-word-diff-regex-sticky later to maint).
  43
  44 * Running "notes merge --commit" failed to perform correctly when run
  45   from any directory inside $GIT_DIR/.  When "notes merge" stops with
  46   conflicts, $GIT_DIR/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE is the place a user edits
  47   to resolve it.
  48   (merge dabba59 jh/notes-merge-in-git-dir-worktree later to maint).
