Git v1.7.5.2 Release Notes ========================== The release notes to 1.7.5.1 forgot to mention: * "git stash -p --no-keep-index" and "git stash --no-keep-index -p" now mean the same thing. * "git upload-pack" (hence "git push" over git native protocol) had a subtle race condition that could lead to a deadlock. Fixes since v1.7.5.1 -------------------- * "git add -p" did not work correctly when a hunk is split and then one of them was given to the editor. * "git add -u" did not resolve a conflict where our history deleted and their history modified the same file, and the working tree resolved to keep a file. * "git cvsimport" did not know that CVSNT stores its password file in a location different from the traditional CVS. * "git diff-files" did not show the mode information from the working tree side of an unmerged path correctly. * "git diff -M --cached" used to use unmerged path as a possible rename source candidate, which made no sense. * The option name parser in "git fast-import" used prefix matches for some options where it shouldn't, and accepted non-existent options, e.g. "--relative-marksmith" or "--forceps". * "git format-patch" did not quote RFC822 special characters in the email address (e.g From: Junio C. Hamano <jch@example.com>, not From: "Junio C. Hamano" <jch@example.com>). * "git format-patch" when run with "--quiet" option used to produce a nonsense result that consists of alternating empty output. * In "git merge", per-branch branch.<name>.mergeoptions configuration variables did not override the fallback default merge.<option> configuration variables such as merge.ff, merge.log, etc. * "git merge-one-file" did not honor GIT_WORK_TREE settings when handling a "both sides added, differently" conflict. * "git mergetool" did not handle conflicted submoudules gracefully. * "git-p4" (in contrib) used a wrong base image while merge a file that was added on both branches differently. * "git rebase -i -p" failed to preserve the history when there is a redundant merge created with the --no-ff option. And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
