Git v1.7.1.1 Release Notes (draft)
==================================
Fixes since v1.7.1
------------------
* 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.
* We used to mistakenly think "../work" is a subdirectory of the current
directory when we are in "../work-xyz".
* The attribute mechanism now allows an entry that uses an attribute
macro that set/unset one attribute, immediately followed by an
overriding setting; this makes attribute macros much easier to use.
* "git am -3" did not show diagnosis when the patch in the message was corrupt.
* "git bundle --stdin" segfaulted.
* "git describe" did not tie-break tags that point at the same commit
correctly; newer ones are preferred by paying attention to the
tagger date now.
* "git fetch" over HTTP verifies the downloaded packfiles more robustly.
* The memory usage by "git index-pack" (run during "git fetch" and "git
push") got leaner.
* "GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare bar.git" created foo.git instead of bar.git.
* "git log --abbrev=$num --format='%h' ignored --abbrev=$num.
* "git send-email" lacked a way to specify the domainname used in the
EHLO/HELO exchange, causing rejected connection from picky servers.
It learned --smtp-domain option to solve this issue.
* "git stash" incorrectly lost paths in the working tree that were
previously removed from the index.
* "git status" stopped refreshing the index by mistake in 1.7.1.
* "git status" showed excess "hints" even when advice.statusHints is set to false.
And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
