| Git v1.7.4.3 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.7.4.2 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * "git apply" used to confuse lines updated by previous hunks as lines |
| that existed before when applying a hunk, contributing misapplication |
| of patches with offsets. |
| |
| * "git branch --track" (and "git checkout --track --branch") used to |
| allow setting up a random non-branch that does not make sense to follow |
| as the "upstream". The command correctly diagnoses it as an error. |
| |
| * "git checkout $other_branch" silently removed untracked symbolic links |
| in the working tree that are in the way in order to check out paths |
| under it from the named branch. |
| |
| * "git cvsimport" did not bail out immediately when the cvs server cannot |
| be reached, spewing unnecessary error messages that complain about the |
| server response that it never got. |
| |
| * "git diff --quiet" did not work very well with the "--diff-filter" |
| option. |
| |
| * "git grep -n" lacked a long-hand synonym --line-number. |
| |
| * "git stash apply" reported the result of its operation by running |
| "git status" from the top-level of the working tree; it should (and |
| now does) run it from the user's working directory. |
| |
| And other minor fixes and documentation updates. |
