1 Git v1.7.4.3 Release Notes
2 ==========================
7 * "git apply" used to confuse lines updated by previous hunks as lines
8 that existed before when applying a hunk, contributing misapplication
9 of patches with offsets.
11 * "git branch --track" (and "git checkout --track --branch") used to
12 allow setting up a random non-branch that does not make sense to follow
13 as the "upstream". The command correctly diagnoses it as an error.
15 * "git checkout $other_branch" silently removed untracked symbolic links
16 in the working tree that are in the way in order to check out paths
17 under it from the named branch.
19 * "git cvsimport" did not bail out immediately when the cvs server cannot
20 be reached, spewing unnecessary error messages that complain about the
21 server response that it never got.
23 * "git diff --quiet" did not work very well with the "--diff-filter"
26 * "git grep -n" lacked a long-hand synonym --line-number.
28 * "git stash apply" reported the result of its operation by running
29 "git status" from the top-level of the working tree; it should (and
30 now does) run it from the user's working directory.
32 And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
