GIT v1.5.6 Release Notes
========================
Updates since v1.5.5
--------------------
(subsystems)
(portability)
(performance)
* "git rebase --onto $there $from $branch" used to switch to the tip of
$branch only to immediately reset back to $from, smudging work tree
files unnecessarily. This has been optimized.
(usability, bells and whistles)
* "git add -p" (and the "patch" subcommand of "git add -i") can choose to
apply (or not apply) mode changes independently from contents changes.
* "git bisect help" gives longer and more helpful usage information.
* "git diff/log --dirstat" output is consistent between binary and textual
changes.
* "git gc --auto" honors a new pre-aut-gc hook to temporarily disable it.
* "git log --pretty=tformat:<custom format>" gives a LF after each entry,
instead of giving a LF between each pair of entries which is how
"git log --pretty=format:<custom format>" works.
* "git send-email" now can send out messages outside a git repository.
* "git status" can optionally include output from "git submodule
summary".
* "gitweb" can read from a system-wide configuration file.
(internal)
* "git unpack-objects" and "git receive-pack" is now more strict about
detecting breakage in the objects they receive over the wire.
Fixes since v1.5.5
------------------
All of the fixes in v1.5.5 maintenance series are included in
this release, unless otherwise noted.
