1 Git v1.7.6.1 Release Notes
2 ==========================
7 * Various codepaths that invoked zlib deflate/inflate assumed that these
8 functions can compress or uncompress more than 4GB data in one call on
9 platforms with 64-bit long, which has been corrected.
11 * "git unexecutable" reported that "unexecutable" was not found, even
12 though the actual error was that "unexecutable" was found but did

53 * "git submodule foreach" failed to correctly give the standard input to
54 the user-supplied command it invoked.
56 * submodules that the user has never showed interest in by running
57 "git submodule init" was incorrectly marked as interesting by "git
