- ========================
-
- Updates since v1.7.0
- --------------------
-
- * Eric Raymond is the maintainer of updated CIAbot scripts, in contrib/.
-
- * gitk updates.
-
- * Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively ask
- for a password can be told to use an external program given via
- GIT_ASKPASS.
-
- * Conflict markers that lead the common ancestor in diff3-style output
- now have a label, which hopefully would help third-party tools that
- expect one.
-
- * Comes with an updated bash-completion script.
-
- * "git am" learned "--keep-cr" option to handle inputs that are
- a mixture of changes to files with and without CRLF line endings.
-
- * "git cvsimport" learned -R option to leave revision mapping between
- CVS revisions and resulting git commits.
-
- * "git diff --submodule" notices and describes dirty submodules.

- tokens.
-
- * "git hash-object --stdin-paths" can take "--no-filters" option now.
-
- * "git init" can be told to look at init.templatedir configuration
- variable (obviously that has to come from either /etc/gitconfig or
- $HOME/.gitconfig).
-
- * "git grep" learned "--no-index" option, to search inside contents that
- are not managed by git.
-
- * "git grep" learned --color=auto/always/never.
-
- * "git grep" learned to paint filename and line-number in colors.
-
- * "git log -p --first-parent -m" shows one-parent diff for merge
- commits, instead of showing combined diff.
-
- * "git merge-file" learned to use custom conflict marker size and also
- to use the "union merge" behaviour.
-
- * "git notes" command has been rewritten in C and learned many commands
- and features to help you carry notes forward across rebases and amends.
-
- * "git request-pull" identifies the commit the request is relative to in
- a more readable way.
-
- * "git reset" learned "--keep" option that lets you discard commits
- near the tip while preserving your local changes in a way similar
- to how "git checkout branch" does.
-
- * "git status" notices and describes dirty submodules.
-
- * "git svn" should work better when interacting with repositories
- with CRLF line endings.
-
- * "git imap-send" learned to support CRAM-MD5 authentication.
-
- * "gitweb" installation procedure can use "minified" js/css files
- better.

-
- Fixes since v1.7.0
- ------------------
-
- All of the fixes in v1.7.0.X maintenance series are included in this
- release, unless otherwise noted.
-
- * "git add frotz/nitfol" did not complain when the entire frotz/ directory
- was ignored.
-
- * "git diff --stat" used "int" to count the size of differences,
- which could result in overflowing.
-
- * "git rev-list --pretty=oneline" didn't terminate a record with LF for
- commits without any message.
-
- * "git rev-list --abbrev-commit" defaulted to 40-byte abbreviations, unlike
- newer tools in the git toolset.
