   4 Fixes since v1.7.8.1
   5 --------------------
   6
   7  * In some codepaths (notably, checkout and merge), the ignore patterns
   8    recorded in $GIT_DIR/info/exclude were not honored. They now are.
   9
  10  * After fetching from a remote that has very long refname, the reporting
  11    output could have corrupted by overrunning a static buffer.
  12
  13  * "git checkout" and "git merge" treated in-tree .gitignore and exclude
  14    file in $GIT_DIR/info/ directory inconsistently when deciding which
  15    untracked files are ignored and expendable.
  16
  17 Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
