Git v1.7.4 Release Notes (draft)
================================
Updates since v1.7.3
--------------------
* The option parsers of various commands that create new branch (or
rename existing ones to a new name) were too loose and users were
allowed to call a branch with a name that begins with a dash by
creative abuse of their command line options, which only lead to
burn themselves. The name of a branch cannot begin with a dash
now.
* System-wide fallback default attributes can be stored in
/etc/gitattributes; core.attributesfile configuration variable can
be used to customize the path to this file.
* "git diff" and "git grep" learned how functions and subroutines
in Fortran look like.
* "git log -G<pattern>" limits the output to commits whose change has
added or deleted lines that match the given pattern.
* "git read-tree" with no argument as a way to empty the index is
deprecated; we might want to remove it in the future. Users can
use the new --empty option to be more explicit instead.
* "git merge --log" used to limit the resulting merge log to 20
entries; this is now customizable by giving e.g. "--log=47".
* you can extend "git shell", which is often used on boxes that allow
git-only login over ssh as login shell, with custom set of
commands.
Also contains various documentation updates.
Fixes since v1.7.3
------------------
All of the fixes in v1.7.3.X maintenance series are included in this
release, unless otherwise noted.
* "git log --author=me --author=her" did not find commits written by
me or by her; instead it looked for commits written by me and by
her, which is impossible.
