Git v1.7.11.6 Release Notes ===========================
Fixes since v1.7.11.5 ---------------------
* "ciabot" script (in contrib/) has been updated with extensive documentation.
* "git foo" errored out with "Not a directory" when the user had a non-directory on $PATH, and worse yet it masked an alias "foo" from running.
* When the user exports a non-default IFS without HT, scripts that rely on being able to parse "ls-files -s | while read a b c..." started to fail. Protect them from such a misconfiguration.
* When the user gives an argument that can be taken as both a revision name and a pathname without disambiguating with "--", we used to give a help message "Use '--' to separate". The message has been clarified to show where that '--' goes on the command line.
* Documentation for the configuration file format had a confusing example.
* Older parts of the documentation described as if having a regular file in .git/refs/ hierarchy were the only way to have branches and tags, which is not true for quite some time.
* It was generally understood that "--long-option"s to many of our subcommands can be abbreviated to the unique prefix, but it was not easy to find it described for new readers of the documentation set.
* The "--topo-order", "--date-order" (and the lack of either means the default order) options to "rev-list" and "log" family of commands were poorly described in the documentation.
* "git commit --amend" let the user edit the log message and then died when the human-readable committer name was given insufficiently by getpwent(3).
* The exit status code from "git config" was way overspecified while being incorrect. The implementation has been updated to give the documented status for a case that was documented, and introduce a new code for "all other errors".
* The output from "git diff -B" for a file that ends with an incomplete line did not put "\ No newline..." on a line of its own.
* "git diff" had a confusion between taking data from a path in the working tree and taking data from an object that happens to have name 0{40} recorded in a tree.
* The "--rebase" option to "git pull" can be abbreviated to "-r", but we didn't document it.
* When "git push" triggered the automatic gc on the receiving end, a message from "git prune" that said it was removing cruft leaked to the standard output, breaking the communication protocol.
* The reflog entries left by "git rebase" and "git rebase -i" were inconsistent (the interactive one gave an abbreviated object name).
* "git send-email" did not unquote encoded words that appear on the header correctly, and lost "_" from strings.
* "git stash apply/pop" did not trigger "rerere" upon conflicts unlike other mergy operations.
* "git submodule <cmd> path" did not error out when the path to the submodule was misspelt.
* "git submodule update -f" did not update paths in the working tree that has local changes. (merge 01d4721 sz/submodule-force-update later to maint).
* "gitweb" when used with PATH_INFO failed to notice directories with SP (and other characters that need URL-style quoting) in them.
* Fallback 'getpass' implementation made unportable use of stdio API.
* A utility shell function test_seq has been added as a replacement for the 'seq' utility found on some platforms.
