-Git v1.7.4 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Updates since v1.7.3
---------------------
-
- * The documentation Makefile now assumes by default asciidoc 8 and
-   docbook-xsl >= 1.73. If you have older versions, you can set
-   ASCIIDOC7 and ASCIIDOC_ROFF, respectively.
-
- * The option parsers of various commands that create new branches (or
-   rename existing ones to a new name) were too loose and users were
-   allowed to give a branch a name that begins with a dash by creative
-   abuse of their command line options, which only led to burning
-   themselves.  The name of a branch cannot begin with a dash now.
-
- * System-wide fallback default attributes can be stored in
-   /etc/gitattributes; the core.attributesfile configuration variable can
-   be used to customize the path to this file.
-
- * The thread structure generated by "git send-email" has changed
-   slightly.  Setting the cover letter of the latest series as a reply
-   to the cover letter of the previous series with --in-reply-to used
-   to make the new cover letter and all the patches replies to the
-   cover letter of the previous series; this has been changed to make
-   the patches in the new series replies to the new cover letter.
-
- * The Bash completion script in contrib/ has been adjusted to be usable with
-   Bash 4 (options with '=value' didn't complete).  It has been also made
-   usable with zsh.
-
- * Different pagers can be chosen depending on which subcommand is
-   being run under the pager, using the "pager.<subcommand>" variable.
-
- * The hardcoded tab-width of 8 that is used in whitespace breakage checks is now
-   configurable via the attributes mechanism.
-
- * Support of case insensitive filesystems (i.e. "core.ignorecase") has
-   been improved.  For example, the gitignore mechanism didn't pay attention
-   to case insensitivity.
-
- * The <tree>:<path> syntax for naming a blob in a tree, and the :<path>
-   syntax for naming a blob in the index (e.g. "master:Makefile",
-   ":hello.c") have been extended.  You can start <path> with "./" to
-   implicitly have the (sub)directory you are in prefixed to the
-   lookup.  Similarly, ":../Makefile" from a subdirectory would mean
-   "the Makefile of the parent directory in the index".
-
- * "git blame" learned the --show-email option to display the e-mail
-   addresses instead of the names of authors.
-
- * "git commit" learned the --fixup and --squash options to help later invocation
-   of interactive rebase.
-
- * Command line options to "git cvsimport" whose names are in capital
-   letters (-A, -M, -R and -S) can now be specified as the default in
-   the .git/config file by their longer names (cvsimport.authorsFile,
-   cvsimport.mergeRegex, cvsimport.trackRevisions, cvsimport.ignorePaths).
-
- * "git daemon" can be built in the MinGW environment.
-
- * "git daemon" can take more than one --listen option to listen to
-   multiple addresses.
-
- * "git describe --exact-match" was optimized not to read commit
-   objects unnecessarily.
-
- * "git diff" and "git grep" learned what functions and subroutines
-   in Fortran, Pascal and Perl look like.
-
- * "git fetch" learned the "--recurse-submodules" option.
-
- * "git mergetool" tells vim/gvim to show a three-way diff by default
-   (use vimdiff2/gvimdiff2 as the tool name for old behavior).
-
- * "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 repack -f" does not spend cycles to recompress objects in the
-   non-delta representation anymore (use -F if you really mean it
-   e.g. after you changed the core.compression variable setting).
-
- * "git merge --log" used to limit the resulting merge log to 20
-   entries; this is now customizable by giving e.g. "--log=47".
-
- * "git merge" may work better when all files were moved out of a
-   directory in one branch while a new file is created in place of that
-   directory in the other branch.
-
- * "git merge" learned the "--abort" option, synonymous to
-   "git reset --merge" when a merge is in progress.
-
- * "git notes" learned the "merge" subcommand to merge notes refs.
-   In addition to the default manual conflict resolution, there are
-   also several notes merge strategies for automatically resolving
-   notes merge conflicts.
-
- * "git rebase --autosquash" can use SHA-1 object names to name the
-   commit which is to be fixed up (e.g. "fixup! e83c5163").
-
- * The default "recursive" merge strategy learned the --rename-threshold
-   option to influence the rename detection, similar to the -M option
-   of "git diff".  From the "git merge" frontend, the "-X<strategy option>"
-   interface, e.g. "git merge -Xrename-threshold=50% ...", can be used
-   to trigger this.
-
- * The "recursive" strategy also learned to ignore various whitespace
-   changes; the most notable is -Xignore-space-at-eol.
-
- * "git send-email" learned "--to-cmd", similar to "--cc-cmd", to read
-   the recipient list from a command output.
-
- * "git send-email" learned to read and use "To:" from its input files.
-
- * you can extend "git shell", which is often used on boxes that allow
-   git-only login over ssh as login shell, with a custom set of
-   commands.
-
- * The current branch name in "git status" output can be colored differently
-   from the generic header color by setting the "color.status.branch" variable.
-
- * "git submodule sync" updates metainformation for all submodules,
-   not just the ones that have been checked out.
-
- * gitweb can use a custom 'highlight' command with its configuration file.
-
- * other gitweb updates.
-
-
-Also contains various documentation updates.
-
-
-Fixes since v1.7.3
-------------------
-
-All of the fixes in the 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.
-
- * "git push --progress" shows progress indicators now.
-
- * "git rebase -i" showed a confusing error message when given a
-   branch name that does not exist.
-
- * "git repack" places its temporary packs under $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/pack
-   instead of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/ to avoid cross directory renames.
-
- * "git submodule update --recursive --other-flags" passes flags down
-   to its subinvocations.
