-Git v1.7.8 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Updates since v1.7.7
---------------------
-
- * Some git-svn, git-gui, git-p4 (in contrib) and msysgit updates.
-
- * Updates to bash completion scripts.
-
- * The build procedure has been taught to take advantage of computed
-   dependency automatically when the compiler supports it.
-
- * The date parser now accepts timezone designators that lack minutes
-   part and also has a colon between "hh:mm".
-
- * The contents of the /etc/mailname file, if exists, is used as the
-   default value of the hostname part of the committer/author e-mail.
-
- * "git am" learned how to read from patches generated by Hg.
-
- * "git archive" talking with a remote repository can report errors
-   from the remote side in a more informative way.
-
- * "git branch" learned an explicit --list option to ask for branches
-   listed, optionally with a glob matching pattern to limit its output.
-
- * "git check-attr" learned "--cached" option to look at .gitattributes
-   files from the index, not from the working tree.
-
- * Variants of "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" that take multiple
-   commits learned to "--continue" and "--abort".
-
- * "git daemon" gives more human readable error messages to clients
-   using ERR packets when appropriate.
-
- * Errors at the network layer is logged by "git daemon".
-
- * "git diff" learned "--minimal" option to spend extra cycles to come
-   up with a minimal patch output.
-
- * "git diff" learned "--function-context" option to show the whole
-   function as context that was affected by a change.
-
- * "git difftool" can be told to skip launching the tool for a path by
-   answering 'n' to its prompt.
-
- * "git fetch" learned to honor transfer.fsckobjects configuration to
-   validate the objects that were received from the other end, just like
-   "git receive-pack" (the receiving end of "git push") does.
-
- * "git fetch" makes sure that the set of objects it received from the
-   other end actually completes the history before updating the refs.
-   "git receive-pack" (the receiving end of "git push") learned to do the
-   same.
-
- * "git fetch" learned that fetching/cloning from a regular file on the
-   filesystem is not necessarily a request to unpack a bundle file; the
-   file could be ".git" with "gitdir: <path>" in it.
-
- * "git for-each-ref" learned "%(contents:subject)", "%(contents:body)"
-   and "%(contents:signature)". The last one is useful for signed tags.
-
- * "git grep" used to incorrectly pay attention to .gitignore files
-   scattered in the directory it was working in even when "--no-index"
-   option was used. It no longer does this. The "--exclude-standard"
-   option needs to be given to explicitly activate the ignore
-   mechanism.
-
- * "git grep" learned "--untracked" option, where given patterns are
-    searched in untracked (but not ignored) files as well as tracked
-    files in the working tree, so that matches in new but not yet
-    added files do not get missed.
-
- * The recursive merge backend no longer looks for meaningless
-   existing merges in submodules unless in the outermost merge.
-
- * "git log" and friends learned "--children" option.
-
- * "git ls-remote" learned to respond to "-h"(elp) requests.
-
- * "mediawiki" remote helper can interact with (surprise!) MediaWiki
-   with "git fetch" & "git push".
-
- * "git merge" learned the "--edit" option to allow users to edit the
-   merge commit log message.
-
- * "git rebase -i" can be told to use special purpose editor suitable
-   only for its insn sheet via sequence.editor configuration variable.
-
- * "git send-email" learned to respond to "-h"(elp) requests.
-
- * "git send-email" allows the value given to sendemail.aliasfile to begin
-   with "~/" to refer to the $HOME directory.
-
- * "git send-email" forces use of Authen::SASL::Perl to work around
-   issues between Authen::SASL::Cyrus and AUTH PLAIN/LOGIN.
-
- * "git stash" learned "--include-untracked" option to stash away
-   untracked/ignored cruft from the working tree.
-
- * "git submodule clone" does not leak an error message to the UI
-   level unnecessarily anymore.
-
- * "git submodule update" learned to honor "none" as the value for
-   submodule.<name>.update to specify that the named submodule should
-   not be checked out by default.
-
- * When populating a new submodule directory with "git submodule init",
-   the $GIT_DIR metainformation directory for submodules is created inside
-   $GIT_DIR/modules/<name>/ directory of the superproject and referenced
-   via the gitfile mechanism. This is to make it possible to switch
-   between commits in the superproject that has and does not have the
-   submodule in the tree without re-cloning.
-
- * "gitweb" leaked unescaped control characters from syntax hiliter
-   outputs.
-
- * "gitweb" can be told to give custom string at the end of the HTML
-   HEAD element.
-
- * "gitweb" now has its own manual pages.
-
-
-Also contains other documentation updates and minor code cleanups.
-
-
-Fixes since v1.7.7
-------------------
-
-Unless otherwise noted, all fixes in the 1.7.7.X maintenance track are
-included in this release.
-
- * HTTP transport did not use pushurl correctly, and also did not tell
-   what host it is trying to authenticate with when asking for
-   credentials.
-   (merge deba493 jk/http-auth later to maint).
-
- * "git blame" was aborted if started from an uncommitted content and
-   the path had the textconv filter in effect.
-   (merge 8518088 ss/blame-textconv-fake-working-tree later to maint).
-
- * Adding many refs to the local repository in one go (e.g. "git fetch"
-   that fetches many tags) and looking up a ref by name in a repository
-   with too many refs were unnecessarily slow.
-   (merge 17d68a54d jp/get-ref-dir-unsorted later to maint).
-
- * Report from "git commit" on untracked files was confused under
-   core.ignorecase option.
-   (merge 395c7356 jk/name-hash-dirent later to maint).
-
- * "git merge" did not understand ":/<pattern>" as a way to name a commit.
-
- " "git push" on the receiving end used to call post-receive and post-update
-   hooks for attempted removal of non-existing refs.
-   (merge 160b81ed ph/push-to-delete-nothing later to maint).
-
- * Help text for "git remote set-url" and "git remote set-branches"
-   were misspelled.
-   (merge c49904e fc/remote-seturl-usage-fix later to maint).
-   (merge 656cdf0 jc/remote-setbranches-usage-fix later to maint).
