1Git v1.7.2 Release Notes (draft) 2================================ 3 4Updates since v1.7.1 5-------------------- 6 7 * After "git apply --whitespace=fix" removed trailing blank lines in an 8 patch in a patch series, it failed to apply later patches that depend 9 on the presense of such blank lines. 10 11 * The output from the textconv filter used by "git diff" can be cached to 12 speed up their reuse. 13 14 * "git send-email" learned --smtp-domain option to specify the domainname 15 used in the EHLO/HELO exchange. 16 17 * "git revert" learned --strategy option to specify the merge strategy. 18 19 * The whitespace rules used in "git apply --whitespace" and "git diff" 20 gained a new member in the family (tab-in-indent) to help projects with 21 policy to indent only with spaces. 22 23 * Authentication over http transport can now be made lazily, in that the 24 request can first go to a URL without username, get a 401 response and 25 then the client will ask for the username to use. 26 27 28Fixes since v1.7.1 29------------------ 30 31 * In 1.7.1, "git status" stopped refreshing the index by mistake. 32 33All of the fixes in v1.7.1.X maintenance series are included in this 34release, unless otherwise noted. 35 36-- 37exec >/var/tmp/1 38O=v1.7.1-77-gb751157 39echo O=$(git describe master) 40git shortlog --no-merges master ^maint ^$O
