Git 1.8.1.5 Release Notes
=========================
Fixes since v1.8.1.5
--------------------
* "git apply --summary" has been taught to make sure the similarity
value shown in its output is sensible, even when the input had a
bogus value.
* "git clean" showed what it was going to do, but sometimes ended
up finding that it was not allowed to do so, which resulted in a
confusing output (e.g. after saying that it will remove an
untracked directory, it found an embedded git repository there
which it is not allowed to remove). It now performs the actions
and then reports the outcome more faithfully.
* "git clone" used to allow --bare and --separate-git-dir=$there
options at the same time, which was nonsensical.
* "git cvsimport" mishandled timestamps at DST boundary.
* We used to have an arbitrary 32 limit for combined diff input,
resulting in incorrect number of leading colons shown when showing
the "--raw --cc" output.
* The smart HTTP clients forgot to verify the content-type that comes
back from the server side to make sure that the request is being
handled properly.
* "git help remote-helpers" failed to find the documentation.
* "gitweb" pages served over HTTPS, when configured to show picon or
gravatar, referred to these external resources to be fetched via
HTTP, resulting in mixed contents warning in browsers.
Also contains various documentation fixes.
