scripts to use "git xyzzy" form, as we will stop installing
"git-xyzzy" hardlinks for built-in commands in later releases.
+An earlier change to page "git status" output was overwhelmingly unpopular
+and has been reverted.
+
Source changes needed for porting to MinGW environment are now all in the
main git.git codebase.
* git-archive can be told to omit certain paths from its output using
export-ignore attributes.
+* git-archive uses the zlib default compression level when creating
+ zip archive.
+
* With -v option, git-branch describes the remote tracking statistics
similar to the way git-checkout reports by how many commits your branch
is ahead/behind.
* git-clone can clone from a remote whose URL would be rewritten by
configuration stored in $HOME/.gitconfig now.
+* git-cvsserver learned to respond to "cvs co -c".
+
* git-diff --check now checks leftover merge conflict markers.
* When remote side used to have branch 'foo' and git-fetch finds that now
* fast-export learned to export and import marks file; this can be used to
interface with fast-import incrementally.
+* fast-import and fast-export learned to export and import gitlinks.
+
* git-rebase records the original tip of branch in ORIG_HEAD before it is
rewound.
* "git rerere" can be told to update the index with auto-reused resolution
with rerere.autoupdate configuration variable.
+* git-rev-parse learned $commit^! and $commit^@ notations used in "log"
+ family. These notations are available in gitk as well, because the gitk
+ command internally uses rev-parse to interpret its arguments.
+
* git-rev-list learned --children option to show child commits it
encountered during the traversal, instead of shoing parent commits.
* git-status gives the remote tracking statistics similar to the way
git-checkout reports by how many commits your branch is ahead/behind.
+* "git-svn dcommit" is now aware of auto-props setting the subversion user
+ has.
+
* You can tell "git status -u" to even more aggressively omit checking
untracked files with --untracked-files=no.
All of the fixes in v1.5.6 maintenance series are included in
this release, unless otherwise noted.
+* git-clone ignored its -u option; the fix needs to be backported to
+ 'maint';
+
+* git-mv used to lose the distinction between changes that are staged
+ and that are only in the working tree, by staging both in the index
+ after moving such a path.
