-Git v1.7.11 Release Notes
-=========================
-
-Updates since v1.7.10
----------------------
-
-UI, Workflows & Features
-
- * A new mode for push, "simple", which is a cross between "current"
-   and "upstream", has been introduced. "git push" without any refspec
-   will push the current branch out to the same name at the remote
-   repository only when it is set to track the branch with the same
-   name over there.  The plan is to make this mode the new default
-   value when push.default is not configured.
-
- * A couple of commands learned the "--column" option to produce
-   columnar output.
-
- * A third-party tool "git subtree" is distributed in contrib/
-
- * A remote helper that acts as a proxy and caches ssl session for the
-   https:// transport is added to the contrib/ area.
-
- * Error messages given when @{u} is used for a branch without its
-   upstream configured have been clarified.
-
- * Even with the "-q"uiet option, "checkout" used to report setting up
-   tracking.  Also "branch" learned the "-q"uiet option to squelch
-   informational message.
-
- * Your build platform may support hardlinks but you may prefer not to
-   use them, e.g. when installing to DESTDIR to make a tarball and
-   untarring on a filesystem that has poor support for hardlinks.
-   There is a Makefile option NO_INSTALL_HARDLINKS for you.
-
- * The smart-http backend used to always override GIT_COMMITTER_*
-   variables with REMOTE_USER and REMOTE_ADDR, but these variables are
-   now preserved when set.
-
- * "git am" learned the "--include" option, which is an opposite of
-   existing the "--exclude" option.
-
- * When "git am -3" needs to fall back to an application of the patch
-   to a synthesized preimage followed by a 3-way merge, the paths that
-   needed such treatment are now reported to the end user, so that the
-   result in them can be eyeballed with extra care.
-
- * The output from "diff/log --stat" used to always allocate 4 columns
-   to show the number of modified lines, but not anymore.
-
- * "git difftool" learned the "--dir-diff" option to spawn external
-   diff tools that can compare two directory hierarchies at a time
-   after populating two temporary directories, instead of running an
-   instance of the external tool once per a file pair.
-
- * The "fmt-merge-msg" command learned to list the primary contributors
-   involved in the side topic you are merging in a comment in the merge
-   commit template.
-
- * "git rebase" learned to optionally keep commits that do not
-   introduce any change in the original history.
-
- * "git push --recurse-submodules" learned to optionally look into the
-   histories of submodules bound to the superproject and push them
-   out.
-
- * A 'snapshot' request to "gitweb" honors If-Modified-Since: header,
-   based on the commit date.
-
- * "gitweb" learned to highlight the patch it outputs even more.
-
-Foreign Interface
-
- * "git svn" used to die with unwanted SIGPIPE when talking with an HTTP
-   server that uses keep-alive.
-
- * "git svn" learned to use platform specific authentication
-   providers, e.g. gnome-keyring, kwallet, etc.
-
- * "git p4" has been moved out of the contrib/ area and has seen more
-   work on importing labels as tags from (and exporting tags as labels
-   to) p4.
-
-Performance and Internal Implementation (please report possible regressions)
-
- * Bash completion script (in contrib/) have been cleaned up to make
-   future work on it simpler.
-
- * An experimental "version 4" format of the index file has been
-   introduced to reduce on-disk footprint and I/O overhead.
-
- * "git archive" learned to produce its output without reading the
-   blob object it writes out in memory in its entirety.
-
- * "git index-pack" that runs when fetching or pushing objects to
-   complete the packfile on the receiving end learned to use multiple
-   threads to do its job when available.
-
- * The code to compute hash values for lines used by the internal diff
-   engine was optimized on little-endian machines, using the same
-   trick the kernel folks came up with.
-
- * "git apply" had some memory leaks plugged.
-
- * Setting up a revision traversal with many starting points was
-   inefficient as these were placed in a date-order priority queue
-   one-by-one.  Now they are collected in the queue unordered first,
-   and sorted immediately before getting used.
-
- * More lower-level commands learned to use the streaming API to read
-   from the object store without keeping everything in core.
-
- * The weighting parameters to suggestion command name typo have been
-   tweaked, so that "git tags" will suggest "tag?" and not "stage?".
-
- * Because "sh" on the user's PATH may be utterly broken on some
-   systems, run-command API now uses SHELL_PATH, not /bin/sh, when
-   spawning an external command (not applicable to Windows port).
-
- * The API to iterate over the refs/ hierarchy has been tweaked to
-   allow walking only a subset of it more efficiently.
-
-Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.

-Fixes since v1.7.10
--------------------
-
-Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.7.10 in the maintenance
-releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
-details).
-
- * "git submodule init" used to report "registered for path ..."
-   even for submodules that were registered earlier.
-   (cherry-pick c1c259e jl/submodule-report-new-path-once later to maint).
-
- * "git diff --stat" used to fully count a binary file with modified
-   execution bits whose contents is unmodified, which was not quite
-   right.
