Fixes since v1.5.6.1
--------------------
-* Optimization for a large import via "git-svn" introduced in v1.5.6 had a
- serious memory and temporary file leak, which made it unusable for
- moderately large import.
+* "git clone" from a remote that is named with url.insteadOf setting in
+ $HOME/.gitconfig did not work well.
-* "git-svn" mangled remote nickname used in the configuration file
- unnecessarily.
+* "git describe --long --tags" segfaulted when the described revision was
+ tagged with a lightweight tag.
* "git diff --check" did not report the result via its exit status
reliably.
+* When remote side used to have branch 'foo' and git-fetch finds that now
+ it has branch 'foo/bar', it refuses to lose the existing remote tracking
+ branch and its reflog. The error message has been improved to suggest
+ pruning the remote if the user wants to proceed and get the latest set
+ of branches from the remote, including such 'foo/bar'.
+
+* "git reset file" should mean the same thing as "git reset HEAD file",
+ but we required disambiguating -- even when "file" is not ambiguous.
+
* "git show" segfaulted when an annotated tag that points at another
annotated tag was given to it.
