   1Git v1.7.3.3 Release Notes
   2==========================
   3
   4In addition to the usual fixes, this release also includes support for
   5the new "add.ignoreErrors" name given to the existing "add.ignore-errors"
   6configuration variable.
   7
   8The next version, Git 1.7.4, and future versions, will support both
   9old and incorrect name and the new corrected name, but without this
  10backport, users who want to use the new name "add.ignoreErrors" in
  11their repositories cannot use older versions of Git.
  12
  13Fixes since v1.7.3.2
  14--------------------
  15
  16 * "git apply" segfaulted when a bogus input is fed to it.
  17
  18 * Running "git cherry-pick --ff" on a root commit segfaulted.
  19
  20 * "diff", "blame" and friends incorrectly applied textconv filters to
  21   symlinks.
  22
  23 * Highlighting of whitespace breakage in "diff" output was showing
  24   incorrect amount of whitespaces when blank-at-eol is set and the line
  25   consisted only of whitespaces and a TAB.
  26
  27 * "diff" was overly inefficient when trying to find the line to use for
  28   the function header (i.e. equivalent to --show-c-function of GNU diff).
  29
  30 * "git imap-send" depends on libcrypto but our build rule relied on the
  31   linker to implicitly link it via libssl, which was wrong.
  32
  33 * "git merge-file" can be called from within a subdirectory now.
  34
  35 * "git repack -f" expanded and recompressed non-delta objects in the
  36   existing pack, which was wasteful.  Use new "-F" option if you really
  37   want to (e.g. when changing the pack.compression level).
  38
  39 * "git rev-list --format="...%x00..." incorrectly chopped its output
  40   at NUL.
  41
  42 * "git send-email" did not correctly remove duplicate mail addresses from
  43   the Cc: header that appear on the To: header.
  44
  45 * The completion script (in contrib/completion) ignored lightweight tags
  46   in __git_ps1().
  47
  48 * "git-blame" mode (in contrib/emacs) didn't say (require 'format-spec)
  49   even though it depends on it; it didn't work with Emacs 22 or older
  50   unless Gnus is used.
  51
  52 * "git-p4" (in contrib/) did not correctly handle deleted files.
  53
  54Other minor fixes and documentation updates are also included.
