GIT v1.6.4.2 Release Notes ==========================
Fixes since v1.6.4.1 --------------------
* --date=relative output between 1 and 5 years ago rounded the number of years when saying X years Y months ago, instead of rounding it down.
* "git add -p" did not handle changes in executable bits correctly (a regression around 1.6.3).
* "git apply" did not honor GNU diff's convention to mark the creation/deletion event with UNIX epoch timestamp on missing side.
* "git checkout" incorrectly removed files in a directory pointed by a symbolic link during a branch switch that replaces a directory with a symbolic link.
* "git clean -d -f" happily descended into a subdirectory that is managed by a separate git repository. It now requires two -f options for safety.
* "git fetch/push" over http transports had two rather grave bugs.
* "git format-patch --cover-letter" did not prepare the cover letter file for use with non-ASCII strings when there are the series contributors with non-ASCII names.
* "git pull origin branch" and "git fetch origin && git merge origin/branch" left different merge messages in the resulting commit.
Other minor documentation updates are included.
