1 Git v1.7.2 Release Notes (draft)

2 ================================

4 Updates since v1.7.1

5 --------------------

7 * After "git apply --whitespace=fix" removed trailing blank lines in an

8 patch in a patch series, it failed to apply later patches that depend

9 on the presense of such blank lines.

11 * The output from the textconv filter used by "git diff" can be cached to

12 speed up their reuse.

14 * "git send-email" learned --smtp-domain option to specify the domainname

15 used in the EHLO/HELO exchange.

17 * "git revert" learned --strategy option to specify the merge strategy.

19 * The whitespace rules used in "git apply --whitespace" and "git diff"

20 gained a new member in the family (tab-in-indent) to help projects with

21 policy to indent only with spaces.

23 * Authentication over http transport can now be made lazily, in that the

24 request can first go to a URL without username, get a 401 response and

25 then the client will ask for the username to use.

28 Fixes since v1.7.1

29 ------------------

31 * In 1.7.1, "git status" stopped refreshing the index by mistake.

33 All of the fixes in v1.7.1.X maintenance series are included in this

34 release, unless otherwise noted.
