Git v1.7.5.2 Release Notes

Git v1.7.5.2 Release Notes ========================== The release notes to 1.7.5.1 forgot to mention: * "git stash -p --no-keep-index" and "git stash --no-keep-index -p" now mean the same thing. * "git upload-pack" (hence "git push" over git native protocol) had a subtle race condition that could lead to a deadlock. Fixes since v1.7.5.1 -------------------- * "git add -p" did not work correctly when a hunk is split and then one of them was given to the editor. * "git add -u" did not resolve a conflict where our history deleted and their history modified the same file, and the working tree resolved to keep a file. * "git cvsimport" did not know that CVSNT stores its password file in a location different from the traditional CVS. * "git diff-files" did not show the mode information from the working tree side of an unmerged path correctly. * "git diff -M --cached" used to use unmerged path as a possible rename source candidate, which made no sense. * The option name parser in "git fast-import" used prefix matches for some options where it shouldn't, and accepted non-existent options, e.g. "--relative-marksmith" or "--forceps". * "git format-patch" did not quote RFC822 special characters in the email address (e.g From: Junio C. Hamano <jch@example.com>, not From: "Junio C. Hamano" <jch@example.com>). * "git format-patch" when run with "--quiet" option used to produce a nonsense result that consists of alternating empty output. * In "git merge", per-branch branch.<name>.mergeoptions configuration variables did not override the fallback default merge.<option> configuration variables such as merge.ff, merge.log, etc. * "git merge-one-file" did not honor GIT_WORK_TREE settings when handling a "both sides added, differently" conflict. * "git mergetool" did not handle conflicted submoudules gracefully. * "git-p4" (in contrib) used a wrong base image while merge a file that was added on both branches differently. * "git rebase -i -p" failed to preserve the history when there is a redundant merge created with the --no-ff option. And other minor fixes and documentation updates.

The Git v1.7.5.2 release addresses various issues and bugs, including fixes for git stash, git add, git diff, and git merge, as well as other minor fixes and documentation updates to improve overall performance and stability.
