This may make the processing more expensive. + + * "git ls-files ../out/side/cwd" works now. + + * "git notes prune" learned "-n" (dry-run) and "-v" options, similar to + what "git prune" has. + + * "git patch-id" can be fed a mbox without getting confused by the + signature line in the format-patch output. + + * "git remote" learned "set-branches" subcommand. + + * "git revert" learned --strategy option to specify the merge strategy. + + * "git status [-s] --ignored" can be used to list ignored paths. + + * "git status -s -b" shows the current branch in the output. + + * Various "gitweb" enhancements and clean-ups, including syntax + highlighting, "plackup" support for instaweb, etc. + + +Fixes since v1.7.1 +------------------ + +All of the fixes in v1.7.1.X maintenance series are included in this +release, unless otherwise noted. + + * We didn't recognize timezone "Z" as a synonym for "UTC" (75b37e70). + + * We didn't URL decode "file:///path/to/repo" correctly when path/to/repo + had percent-encoded characters (638794c, 9d2e942). + + * "git checkout" and "git rebase" overwrote paths that are marked "assume + unchanged" (aecda37c). + + * "git clone/fetch/pull" issued an incorrect error message when a ref and + a symref that points to the ref were updated at the same time.
