Updates since v1.7.3
--------------------
+ * The documentation Makefile now assumes by default asciidoc 8 and
+ docbook-xsl >= 1.73. If you have older versions, you can set
+ ASCIIDOC7 and ASCIIDOC_ROFF, respectively.
+
* The option parsers of various commands that create new branch (or
rename existing ones to a new name) were too loose and users were
allowed to call a branch with a name that begins with a dash by
/etc/gitattributes; core.attributesfile configuration variable can
be used to customize the path to this file.
+ * The thread structure generated by "git send-email" has changed
+ slightly. Setting the cover letter of the latest series as a reply
+ to the cover letter of the previous series with --in-reply-to used
+ to make the new cover letter and all the patches replies to the
+ cover letter of the previous series; this has been changed to make
+ the patches in the new series replies to the new cover letter.
+
+ * Bash completion script in contrib/ has been adjusted to be also
+ usable by zsh.
+
+ * "git blame" learned --show-email option to display the e-mail
+ addresses instead of the names of authors.
+
+ * "git daemon" can be built in MinGW environment.
+
+ * "git daemon" can take more than one --listen option to listen to
+ multiple addresses.
+
* "git diff" and "git grep" learned how functions and subroutines
in Fortran look like.
+ * "git mergetool" tells vim/gvim to show three-way diff by default
+ (use vimdiff2/gvimdiff2 as the tool name for old behaviour).
+
* "git log -G<pattern>" limits the output to commits whose change has
added or deleted lines that match the given pattern.
deprecated; we might want to remove it in the future. Users can
use the new --empty option to be more explicit instead.
+ * "git repack -f" does not spend cycles to recompress objects in the
+ non-delta representation anymore (use -F if you really mean it when
+ e.g. you changed the compression level).
+
* "git merge --log" used to limit the resulting merge log to 20
entries; this is now customizable by giving e.g. "--log=47".
+ * "git merge" may work better when all files were moved out of a
+ directory in one branch while a new file is created in place of that
+ directory in the other branch.
+
+ * "git rebase --autosquash" can use SHA-1 object names to name which
+ commit to fix up (e.g. "fixup! e83c5163").
+
+ * The default "recursive" merge strategy learned --rename-threshold
+ option to influence the rename detection, similar to the -M option
+ of "git diff". E.g. "git merge -Xrename-threshold=50% ..." to use
+ this.
+
+ * The "recursive" strategy also learned to ignore various whitespace
+ changes; the most notable is -Xignore-space-at-eol.
+
+ * "git send-email" learned "--to-cmd", similar to "--cc-cmd", to read
+ recipient list from a command output.
+
+ * "git send-email" learned to read and use "To:" from its input files.
+
* you can extend "git shell", which is often used on boxes that allow
git-only login over ssh as login shell, with custom set of
commands.
+ * "git submodule sync" updates metainformation for all submodules,
+ not just the ones that have been checked out.
+
+ * gitweb can use custom 'highlight' command with its configuration file.
+
+
Also contains various documentation updates.
me or by her; instead it looked for commits written by me and by
her, which is impossible.
+ * "git merge" into an unborn branch removed an untracked file "foo"
+ from the working tree when merged branch had "foo" (2caf20c..172b642).
+
+ * "git push --progress" shows progress indicators now.
+
+ * "git repack" places its temporary packs under $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/pack
+ instead of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/ to avoid cross directory renames.
+
+ * "git submodule update --recursive --other-flags" passes flags down
+ to its subinvocations.
