| Git v1.7.2 Release Notes (draft) |
| ================================ |
| |
| Updates since v1.7.1 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * After "git apply --whitespace=fix" removed trailing blank lines in an |
| patch in a patch series, it failed to apply later patches that depend |
| on the presense of such blank lines. |
| |
| * The output from the textconv filter used by "git diff" can be cached to |
| speed up their reuse. |
| |
| * "git send-email" learned --smtp-domain option to specify the domainname |
| used in the EHLO/HELO exchange. |
| |
| * "git revert" learned --strategy option to specify the merge strategy. |
| |
| * The whitespace rules used in "git apply --whitespace" and "git diff" |
| gained a new member in the family (tab-in-indent) to help projects with |
| policy to indent only with spaces. |
| |
| * Authentication over http transport can now be made lazily, in that the |
| request can first go to a URL without username, get a 401 response and |
| then the client will ask for the username to use. |
| |
| |
| Fixes since v1.7.1 |
| ------------------ |
| |
| * In 1.7.1, "git status" stopped refreshing the index by mistake. |
| |
| All of the fixes in v1.7.1.X maintenance series are included in this |
| release, unless otherwise noted. |
