   7* Bugfixes
   8
   9  - git-send-email did not understand aliases file for mutt, which
  10    allows leading whitespaces.
  11
  12  - git-format-patch emitted Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding
  13    headers for non ASCII contents, but failed to add MIME-Version.
  14
  15  - git-name-rev had a buffer overrun with a deep history.
  16
  17  - contributed script import-tars did not get the directory in
  18    tar archives interpreted correctly.
  19
  20  - git-svn was reported to segfault for many people on list and
  21    #git; hopefully this has been fixed.
  22
  23  - git-svn also had a bug to crash svnserve by sending a bad
  24    sequence of requests.
  25
  26  - "git-svn clone" does not try to minimize the URL
  27    (i.e. connect to higher level hierarchy) by default, as this
  28    can prevent clone to fail if only part of the repository
  29    (e.g. 'trunk') is open to public.
  30
  31  - "git checkout branch^0" did not detach the head when you are
  32    already on 'branch'; backported the fix from the 'master'.
  33
  34  - "git-config section.var" did not correctly work when
  35    existing configuration file had both [section] and [section "name"]
  36    next to each other.
  37
  38  - "git clone ../other-directory" was fooled if the current
  39    directory $PWD points at is a symbolic link.
  40
  41  - (build) tree_entry_extract() function was both static inline
  42    and extern, which caused trouble compiling with Forte12
  43    compilers on Sun.
  44
  45  - Many many documentation fixes and updates.
