2 ========================
4 Updates since v1.6.1
5 --------------------
7 (subsystems)
9 (portability)
11 (performance)
13 * pack-objects autodetects the number of CPUs available and uses threaded
14 version.
16 (usability, bells and whistles)
18 * "git-add -p" learned 'g'oto action to jump directly to a hunk.
20 * git-cherry defaults to HEAD when the <upstream> argument is not given.
22 * git-cvsserver can be told not to add extra "via git-CVS emulator" to the
23 commit log message it serves via gitcvs.commitmsgannotation configuration.
25 * git-diff learned a new option --inter-hunk-context to coalesce close
26 hunks together and show context between them.
28 * git-filter-branch learned --prune-empty option that discards commits
29 that do not change the contents.
31 * git-ls-tree learned --full-tree option that shows the path in full
32 regardless of where in the work tree hierarchy the command was started.
34 * git-mergetool learned -y(--no-prompt) option to disable prompting.
36 * "git-reset --merge" is a new mode that works similar to the way

38 switching to another commit.
40 (internal)
43 Fixes since v1.6.1
44 ------------------
46 All of the fixes in v1.6.1.X maintenance series are included in this
47 release, unless otherwise noted.
49 * "git-add sub/file" when sub is a submodule incorrectly added the path to
50 the superproject.
52 * git-bundle did not exclude annotated tags even when a range given from the
53 command line wanted to.
55 * git-grep did not work correctly for index entries with assume-unchanged bit.
57 * branch switching and merges had a silly bug that did not validate
58 the correct directory when making sure an existing subdirectory is
59 clean.
