| GIT v1.6.1 Release Notes |
| ======================== |
| |
| Updates since v1.6.0 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| When some commands (e.g. "git log", "git diff") spawn pager internally, we |
| used to make the pager the parent process of the git command that produces |
| output. This meant that the exit status of the whole thing comes from the |
| pager, not the underlying git command. We swapped the order of the |
| processes around and you will see the exit code from the command from now |
| on. |

| (performance) |
| |
| * The underlying diff machinery to produce textual output has been |
| optimized, which would result in faster "git blame" processing. |
| |
| (usability, bells and whistles) |
| |
| * "git checkout --track origin/hack" used to be a syntax error. It now |
| DWIMs to create a corresponding local branch "hack", i.e. acts as if you |
| said "git checkout --track -b hack origin/hack". |
| |
| * "git diff" learned to mimick --suppress-blank-empty from GNU diff via a |
| configuration option. |
| |
| * "git imap-send" can optionally talk SSL. |
| |
| (internal) |
| |
| * "git hash-object" learned to lie about the path being hashed, so that |
| correct gitattributes processing can be done while hashing contents |
| stored in a temporary file. |

| Fixes since v1.6.0 |
| ------------------ |
| |
| All of the fixes in v1.6.0.X maintenance series are included in this |
| release, unless otherwise noted. |
