dependency automatically when the complier supports it.
* The date parser now accepts timezone designators that lack minutes
part and also has a colon between "hh:mm".
- * On some BSD systems, adding +s bit on directories is detrimental
- (it is not necessary on BSD to begin with). The installation

-
* The contents of the /etc/mailname file, if exists, is used as the
default value of the hostname part of the committer/author e-mail.

up with a minimal patch output.
+ * "git diff" learned "--function-context" option to show the whole
+ function as context that was affected by a change.
+
* "git fetch" learned to honor transfer.fsckobjects configuration to
validate the objects that were received from the other end, just like
"git receive-pack" (the receiving end of "git push") does.
files in the working tree, so that matches in new but not yet
added files do not get missed.
+ * The recursive merge backend no longer looks for meaningless
+ existing merges in submodules unless in the outermost merge.
+
+ * "git log" and friends learned "--children" option.
+

+
Also contains other documentation updates and minor code cleanups.
a corrupt packet.
(merge 6cdf022 sp/smart-http-failure later to maint).
+ * HTTP transport did not use pushurl correctly, and also did not tell
+ what host it is trying to authenticate with when asking for
+ credentials.
+ (merge deba493 jk/http-auth later to maint).
+
* Adding many refs to the local repository in one go (e.g. "git fetch"
that fetches many tags) and looking up a ref by name in a repository
with too many refs were unnecessarily slow.
(merge 17d68a54d jp/get-ref-dir-unsorted later to maint).
- * After incorrectly written third-party tools store a tag object in
- HEAD, git diagnosed it as a repository corruption and refused to
- proceed in order to avoid spreading the damage. We now gracefully
- recover from such a situation by pretending as if the commit that
- is pointed at by the tag were in HEAD.
- (merge baf18fc nd/maint-autofix-tag-in-head later to maint).
+ * Report from "git commit" on untracked files was confused under
+ core.ignorecase option.
+ (merge 2548183b jk/name-hash-dirent later to maint).
+
+ * The attribute mechanism did not use case insensitive match when
+ core.ignorecase was set.
+ (merge 6eba621 bc/attr-ignore-case later to maint).
- * "git apply --whitespace=error" did not bother to report the exact
- line number in the patch that introduced new blank lines at the end
- of the file.
- (merge 8557263 jc/apply-blank-at-eof-fix later to maint).
+ * "git bisect" did not notice when it failed to update the working tree
+ to the next commit to be tested.
+ (merge 1acf11717 js/bisect-no-checkout later to maint).
+ * "git config --bool --get-regexp" failed to separate the variable name
+ and its value "true" when the variable is defined without "= true".
+ (merge 880e3cc mm/maint-config-explicit-bool-display later to maint).
* "git remote rename $a $b" were not careful to match the remote name
against $a (i.e. source side of the remote nickname).
the file that may not even have any conflict.
(merge 6d9990a jm/mergetool-pathspec later to maint).
+ * "git pull" and "git rebase" did not work well even when GIT_WORK_TREE is
+ set correctly with GIT_DIR if the current directory is outside the working
+ tree.
+ (merge 035b5bf jk/pull-rebase-with-work-tree later to maint).
