Junio C Hamano0e4c8822012-07-30 13:09:25 -07001Git v1.7.11.4 Release Notes
2===========================
3
4Fixes since v1.7.11.3
5---------------------
6
7 * "$GIT_DIR/COMMIT_EDITMSG" file that is used to hold the commit log
8 message user edits was not documented.
9
10 * The advise() function did not use varargs correctly to format
11 its message.
12
13 * When "git am" failed, old timers knew to check .git/rebase-apply/patch
14 to see what went wrong, but we never told the users about it.
15
16 * "git commit-tree" learned a more natural "-p <parent> <tree>" order
17 of arguments long time ago, but recently forgot it by mistake.
18
19 * "git diff --no-ext-diff" did not output anything for a typechange
20 filepair when GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF is in effect.
21
22 * In 1.7.9 era, we taught "git rebase" about the raw timestamp format
23 but we did not teach the same trick to "filter-branch", which rolled
24 a similar logic on its own.
25
26 * When "git submodule add" clones a submodule repository, it can get
27 confused where to store the resulting submodule repository in the
28 superproject's .git/ directory when there is a symbolic link in the
29 path to the current directory.
30
31Also contains minor typofixes and documentation updates.
