   1 Git v1.7.5.1 Release Notes
   2 ==========================
   3
   4 Fixes since v1.7.5
   5 ------------------
   6
   7  * When an object "$tree:$path" does not exist, if $path does exist in the
   8    subtree of $tree that corresponds to the subdirectory the user is in,
   9    git now suggests using "$tree:./$path" in addition to the advice to use
  10    the full path from the root of the working tree.
  11
  12  * The "--date=relative" output format used to say "X years, 12 months"
  13    when it should have said "X+1 years".
  14
  15  * The smart-HTTP transfer was broken in 1.7.5 when the client needs
  16    to issue a small POST (which uses content-length) and then a large
  17    POST (which uses chunked) back to back.
  18
  19  * "git clean" used to fail on an empty directory that is not readable,
  20    even though rmdir(2) could remove such a directory.  Now we attempt it
  21    as the last resort.
  22
  23  * The "--dirstat" option of "diff" family of commands used to totally
  24    ignore a change that only rearranged lines within a file.  Such a
  25    change now counts as at least a minimum but non zero change.
  26
  27  * The "--dirstat" option of "diff" family of commands used to use the
  28    pathname in the original, instead of the pathname in the result,
  29    when renames are involved.
  30
  31  * "git pack-object" did not take core.bigfilethreashold into account
  32    (unlike fast-import); now it does.
  33
  34  * "git reflog" ignored options like "--format=.." on the command line.
  35
  36  * "git stash apply" used to refuse to work if there was any change in
  37    the working tree, even when the change did not overlap with the change
  38    the stash recorded.
  39
  40  * "git stash apply @{99999}" was not diagnosed as an error, even when you
  41    did not have that many stash entries.
  42
  43  * An error message from "git send-email" to diagnose a broken SMTP
  44    connection configuration lacked a space between "hello=<smtp-domain>"
  45    and "port=<smtp-server-port>".
  46
  47 And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
