| Git v1.7.8.1 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.7.8.1 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * In some codepaths (notably, checkout and merge), the ignore patterns |
| recorded in $GIT_DIR/info/exclude were not honored. They now are. |
| |
| * After fetching from a remote that has very long refname, the reporting |
| output could have corrupted by overrunning a static buffer. |
| |
| * "git checkout" and "git merge" treated in-tree .gitignore and exclude |
| file in $GIT_DIR/info/ directory inconsistently when deciding which |
| untracked files are ignored and expendable. |
| |
| Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates. |
