   1 Git v1.7.0.1 Release Notes
   2 ==========================
   3
   4 Fixes since v1.7.0
   5 ------------------
   6
   7  * In a freshly created repository "rev-parse HEAD^0" complained that
   8    it is dangling symref, even though "rev-parse HEAD" didn't.
   9
  10  * "git show :no-such-name" tried to access the index without bounds
  11    check, leading to a potential segfault.
  12
  13  * Message from "git cherry-pick" was harder to read and use than necessary
  14    when it stopped due to conflicting changes.
  15
  16  * We referred to ".git/refs/" throughout the documentation when we
  17    meant to talk about abstract notion of "ref namespace".  Because
  18    people's repositories often have packed refs these days, this was
  19    confusing.
  20
  21  * "git diff --output=/path/that/cannot/be/written" did not correctly
  22    error out.
  23
  24  * "git grep -e -pattern-that-begin-with-dash paths..." could not be
  25    spelled as "git grep -- -pattern-that-begin-with-dash paths..." which
  26    would be a GNU way to use "--" as "end of options".
  27
  28  * "git grep" compiled with threading support tried to access an
  29    uninitialized mutex on boxes with a single CPU.
  30
  31  * "git stash pop -q --index" failed because the unnecessary --index
  32    option was propagated to "git stash drop" that is internally run at the
  33    end.

  35 And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
