+Git v1.7.1.1 Release Notes
+==========================
Fixes since v1.7.1
------------------
* We didn't recognize timezone "Z" as a synonym for "UTC" (75b37e70).
+ * In 1.7.0, read-tree and user commands that use the mechanism such as
+ checkout and merge were fixed to handle switching between branches one
+ of which has a file while the other has a directory at the same path
+ correctly even when there are some "confusing" pathnames in them. But
+ the algorithm used for this fix was suboptimal and had a terrible
+ performance degradation especially in larger trees.
+
* "git am -3" did not show diagnosis when the patch in the message was corrupt.
* After "git apply --whitespace=fix" removed trailing blank lines in an
patch in a patch series, it failed to apply later patches that depend
- on the presense of such blank lines.
+ on the presence of such blank lines.
* "git bundle --stdin" segfaulted.
* "git merge --log" used to replace the custom message given by "-m" with
the shortlog, instead of appending to it.
+ * "git notes copy" without any other argument segfaulted.
+
* "git pull" accepted "--dry-run", gave it to underlying "git fetch" but
ignored the option itself, resulting in a bogus attempt to merge
unrelated commit.
+ * "git rebase" did not faithfully reproduce a malformed author ident, that
+ is often seen in a repository converted from foreign SCMs.
+
* "git reset --hard" started from a wrong directory and a working tree in
a nonstandard location is in use got confused.
EHLO/HELO exchange, causing rejected connection from picky servers.
It learned --smtp-domain option to solve this issue.
+ * "git send-email" did not declare a content-transfer-encoding and
+ content-type even when its payload needs to be sent in 8-bit.
+
* "git show -C -C" and other corner cases lost diff metainfo output
in 1.7.0.
* "git status" showed excess "hints" even when advice.statusHints is set to false.
And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
