  10 Fixes since v1.7.10
  11 -------------------
  12
  13  * "git add -p" is not designed to deal with unmerged paths but did
  14    not exclude them and tried to apply funny patches only to fail.
  15
  16  * "git blame" started missing quite a few changes from the origin
  17    since we stopped using the diff minimization by default in v1.7.2
  18    era.
  19
  20  * When PATH contains an unreadable directory, alias expansion code
  21    did not kick in, and failed with an error that said "git-subcmd"
  22    was not found.
  23
  24  * "git clean -d -f" (not "-d -f -f") is supposed to protect nested
  25    working trees of independent git repositories that exist in the
  26    current project working tree from getting removed, but the
  27    protection applied only to such working trees that are at the
  28    top-level of the current project by mistake.
  29
  30  * "git commit --author=$name" did not tell the name that was being
  31    recorded in the resulting commit to hooks, even though it does do
  32    so when the end user overrode the authorship via the
  33    "GIT_AUTHOR_NAME" environment variable.
  34
  35  * When "git commit --template F" errors out because the user did not
  36    touch the message, it claimed that it aborts due to "empty
  37    message", which was utterly wrong.
  38
  39  * The regexp configured with diff.wordregex was incorrectly reused
  40    across files.
  41
  42  * An age-old corner case bug in combine diff (only triggered with -U0
  43    and the hunk at the beginning of the file needs to be shown) has
  44    been fixed.
  45
  46  * Rename detection logic used to match two empty files as renames
  47    during merge-recursive, leading to unnatural mismerges.
  48
  49  * The parser in "fast-import" did not diagnose ":9" style references
  50    that is not followed by required SP/LF as an error.
  51
  52  * When "git fetch" encounters repositories with too many references,
  53    the command line of "fetch-pack" that is run by a helper
  54    e.g. remote-curl, may fail to hold all of them. Now such an
  55    internal invocation can feed the references through the standard
  56    input of "fetch-pack".
  57
  58  * "git fetch" that recurses into submodules on demand did not check
  59    if it needs to go into submodules when non branches (most notably,
  60    tags) are fetched.
  61
  62  * "log -p --graph" used with "--stat" had a few formatting error.
  63
  64  * Running "notes merge --commit" failed to perform correctly when run
  65    from any directory inside $GIT_DIR/.  When "notes merge" stops with
  66    conflicts, $GIT_DIR/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE is the place a user edits
  67    to resolve it.
  68
  69  * The 'push to upstream' implementation was broken in some corner
  70    cases. "git push $there" without refspec, when the current branch
  71    is set to push to a remote different from $there, used to push to
  72    $there using the upstream information to a remote unrelated to
  73    $there.
  74
  75  * Giving "--continue" to a conflicted "rebase -i" session skipped a
  76    commit that only results in changes to submodules.
  77
  78 Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
