-GIT v1.6.0 Release Notes
-========================
-
-User visible changes
---------------------
-
-With the default Makefile settings, most of the programs are now
-installed outside your $PATH, except for "git", "gitk" and
-some server side programs that need to be accessible for technical
-reasons.  Invoking a git subcommand as "git-xyzzy" from the command
-line has been deprecated since early 2006 (and officially announced in
-1.5.4 release notes); use of them from your scripts after adding
-output from "git --exec-path" to the $PATH is still supported in this
-release, but users are again strongly encouraged to adjust their
-scripts to use "git xyzzy" form, as we will stop installing
-"git-xyzzy" hardlinks for built-in commands in later releases.
-
-An earlier change to page "git status" output was overwhelmingly unpopular
-and has been reverted.
-
-Source changes needed for porting to MinGW environment are now all in the
-main git.git codebase.
-
-By default, packfiles created with this version uses delta-base-offset
-encoding introduced in v1.4.4.  Pack idx files are using version 2 that
-allows larger packs and added robustness thanks to its CRC checking,
-introduced in v1.5.2 and v1.4.4.5.  If you want to keep your repositories
-backwards compatible past these versions, set repack.useDeltaBaseOffset
-to false or pack.indexVersion to 1, respectively.
-
-We used to prevent sample hook scripts shipped in templates/ from
-triggering by default by relying on the fact that we install them as
-unexecutable, but on some filesystems, this approach does not work.
-They are now shipped with ".sample" suffix.  If you want to activate
-any of these samples as-is, rename them to drop the ".sample" suffix,
-instead of running "chmod +x" on them.  For example, you can rename
-hooks/post-update.sample to hooks/post-update to enable the sample
-hook that runs update-server-info, in order to make repositories
-friendly to dumb protocols (i.e. HTTP).
-
-GIT_CONFIG, which was only documented as affecting "git config", but
-actually affected all git commands, now only affects "git config".
-GIT_LOCAL_CONFIG, also only documented as affecting "git config" and
-not different from GIT_CONFIG in a useful way, is removed.
-
-The ".dotest" temporary area "git am" and "git rebase" use is now moved
-inside the $GIT_DIR, to avoid mistakes of adding it to the project by
-accident.
-
-An ancient merge strategy "stupid" has been removed.
-
-
-Updates since v1.5.6
---------------------
-
-(subsystems)
-
-* git-p4 in contrib learned "allowSubmit" configuration to control on
-  which branch to allow "submit" subcommand.
-
-* git-gui learned to stage changes per-line.
-
-(portability)
-
-* Changes for MinGW port have been merged, thanks to Johannes Sixt and
-  gangs.
-
-* Sample hook scripts shipped in templates/ are now suffixed with
-  *.sample.
-
-* perl's in-place edit (-i) does not work well without backup files on Windows;
-  some tests are rewritten to cope with this.
-
-(documentation)
-
-* Updated howto/update-hook-example
-
-* Got rid of usage of "git-foo" from the tutorial and made typography
-  more consistent.
-
-* Disambiguating "--" between revs and paths is finally documented.
-
-(performance, robustness, sanity etc.)
-
-* index-pack used too much memory when dealing with a deep delta chain.
-  This has been optimized.
-
-* reduced excessive inlining to shrink size of the "git" binary.
-
-* verify-pack checks the object CRC when using version 2 idx files.
-
-* When an object is corrupt in a pack, the object became unusable even
-  when the same object is available in a loose form,  We now try harder to
-  fall back to these redundant objects when able.  In particular, "git
-  repack -a -f" can be used to fix such a corruption as long as necessary
-  objects are available.
-
-* Performance of "git-blame -C -C" operation is vastly improved.
-
-* git-clone does not create refs in loose form anymore (it behaves as
-  if you immediately ran git-pack-refs after cloning).  This will help
-  repositories with insanely large number of refs.
-
-* core.fsyncobjectfiles configuration can be used to ensure that the loose
-  objects created will be fsync'ed (this is only useful on filesystems
-  that does not order data writes properly).
-
-* "git commit-tree" plumbing can make Octopus with more than 16 parents.
-  "git commit" has been capable of this for quite some time.
-
-(usability, bells and whistles)
-
-* even more documentation pages are now accessible via "man" and "git help".
-
-* A new environment variable GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES can be used to stop
-  the discovery process of the toplevel of working tree; this may be useful
-  when you are working in a slow network disk and are outside any working tree,
-  as bash-completion and "git help" may still need to run in these places.
-
-* By default, stash entries never expire.  Set reflogexpire in [gc
-  "refs/stash"] to a reasonable value to get traditional auto-expiration
-  behaviour back
-
-* Longstanding latency issue with bash completion script has been
-  addressed.  This will need to be backmerged to 'maint' later.
-
-* pager.<cmd> configuration variable can be used to enable/disable the
-  default paging behaviour per command.
-
-* "git-add -i" has a new action 'e/dit' to allow you edit the patch hunk
-  manually.
-
-* git-am records the original tip of the branch in ORIG_HEAD before it
-  starts applying patches.
-
-* git-apply can handle a patch that touches the same path more than once
-  much better than before.
-
-* git-apply can be told not to trust the line counts recorded in the input
-  patch but recount, with the new --recount option.
-
-* git-apply can be told to apply a patch to a path deeper than what the
-  patch records with --directory option.
-
-* git-archive can be told to omit certain paths from its output using
-  export-ignore attributes.
-
-* git-archive uses the zlib default compression level when creating
-  zip archive.
-
-* git-archive's command line options --exec and --remote can take their
-  parameters as separate command line arguments, similar to other commands.
-  IOW, both "--exec=path" and "--exec path" are now supported.
-
-* With -v option, git-branch describes the remote tracking statistics
-  similar to the way git-checkout reports by how many commits your branch
-  is ahead/behind.
-
-* git-branch's --contains option used to always require a commit parameter
-  to limit the branches with; it now defaults to list branches that
-  contains HEAD if this parameter is omitted.
-
-* git-branch's --merged and --no-merged option used to always limit the
-  branches relative to the HEAD, but they can now take an optional commit
-  argument that is used in place of HEAD.
-
-* git-bundle can read the revision arguments from the standard input.
-
-* git-cherry-pick can replay a root commit now.
-
-* git-clone can clone from a remote whose URL would be rewritten by
-  configuration stored in $HOME/.gitconfig now.
-
-* "git-clone --mirror" is a handy way to set up a bare mirror repository.
-
-* git-cvsserver learned to respond to "cvs co -c".
-
-* git-diff --check now checks leftover merge conflict markers.
-
-* "git-diff -p" learned to grab a better hunk header lines in
-  BibTex, Pascal/Delphi, and Ruby files and also pays attention to
-  chapter and part boundary in TeX documents.
-
-* When remote side used to have branch 'foo' and git-fetch finds that now
-  it has branch 'foo/bar', it refuses to lose the existing remote tracking
-  branch and its reflog.  The error message has been improved to suggest
-  pruning the remote if the user wants to proceed and get the latest set
-  of branches from the remote, including such 'foo/bar'.
-
-* fast-export learned to export and import marks file; this can be used to
-  interface with fast-import incrementally.
-
-* fast-import and fast-export learned to export and import gitlinks.
-
-* "gitk" left background process behind after being asked to dig very deep
-  history and the user killed the UI; the process is killed when the UI goes
-  away now.
-
-* git-rebase records the original tip of branch in ORIG_HEAD before it is
-  rewound.
-
-* "git rerere" can be told to update the index with auto-reused resolution
-  with rerere.autoupdate configuration variable.
-
-* git-rev-parse learned $commit^! and $commit^@ notations used in "log"
-  family.  These notations are available in gitk as well, because the gitk
-  command internally uses rev-parse to interpret its arguments.
-
-* git-rev-list learned --children option to show child commits it
-  encountered during the traversal, instead of showing parent commits.
-
-* git-send-mail can talk not just over SSL but over TLS now.
-
-* git-shortlog honors custom output format specified with "--pretty=format:".
-
-* "git-stash save" learned --keep-index option.  This lets you stash away the
-  local changes and bring the changes staged in the index to your working
-  tree for examination and testing.
-
-* git-stash also learned branch subcommand to create a new branch out of
-  stashed changes.
-
-* git-status gives the remote tracking statistics similar to the way
-  git-checkout reports by how many commits your branch is ahead/behind.
-
-* "git-svn dcommit" is now aware of auto-props setting the subversion user
-  has.
-
-* You can tell "git status -u" to even more aggressively omit checking
-  untracked files with --untracked-files=no.
-
-* Original SHA-1 value for "update-ref -d" is optional now.
-
-* Error codes from gitweb are made more descriptive where possible, rather
-  than "403 forbidden" as we used to issue everywhere.
-
-(internal)
-
-* git-merge has been reimplemented in C.
-
-
-Fixes since v1.5.6
-------------------
-
-All of the fixes in v1.5.6 maintenance series are included in
-this release, unless otherwise noted.
-
- * git-clone ignored its -u option; the fix needs to be backported to
-   'maint';
-
- * git-mv used to lose the distinction between changes that are staged
-   and that are only in the working tree, by staging both in the index
-   after moving such a path.
-
- * "git-rebase -i -p" rewrote the parents to wrong ones when amending
-   (either edit or squash) was involved, and did not work correctly
-   when fast forwarding.
