1 Git v1.7.11.6 Release Notes
2 ===========================
4 Fixes since v1.7.11.5
5 ---------------------
7 This is primarily documentation and low-impact code clarification.
9 - "ciabot" script (in contrib/) has been updated with extensive
10 documentation.
12 - The "--rebase" option to "git pull" can be abbreviated to "-r",
13 but we didn't document it.
15 - It was generally understood that "--long-option"s to many of our
16 subcommands can be abbreviated to the unique prefix, but it was not
17 easy to find it described for new readers of the documentation set.
19 - The "--topo-order", "--date-order" (and the lack of either means
20 the default order) options to "rev-list" and "log" family of
21 commands were poorly described in the documentation.
23 - Older parts of the documentation described as if having a regular
24 file in .git/refs/ hierarchy were the only way to have branches and
25 tags, which is not true for quite some time.
27 - A utility shell function test_seq has been added as a replacement
28 for the 'seq' utility found on some platforms.
30 - Fallback 'getpass' implementation made unportable use of stdio API.
32 - "git commit --amend" let the user edit the log message and then
33 died when the human-readable committer name was given
34 insufficiently by getpwent(3).
