The first maintenance release Git 1.7.4.1 is available at the usual places: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ git-1.7.4.1.tar.{gz,bz2} (source tarball) git-htmldocs-1.7.4.1.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) git-manpages-1.7.4.1.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are found in: RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.7.4.1-1.fc13.$arch.rpm (RPM) Git v1.7.4.1 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.7.4 ------------------ * On Windows platform, the codepath to spawn a new child process forgot to first flush the output buffer. * "git bundle" did not use OFS_DELTA encoding, making its output a few per-cent larger than necessarily. * The option to tell "git clone" to recurse into the submodules was misspelled with an underscore "--recurse_submodules". * "git diff --cached HEAD" before the first commit does what an end user would expect (namely, show what would be committed without further "git add"). * "git fast-import" didn't accept the command to ask for "notes" feature to be present in its input stream, even though it was capable of the feature. * "git fsck" gave up scanning loose object files in directories with garbage files. And other minor fixes and documentation updates. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.7.4 are as follows: Chris Packham (1): clone: fixup recurse_submodules option Jakub Narebski (1): gitweb: Mention optional Perl modules in INSTALL Jens Lehmann (2): t5526: Fix wrong argument order in "git config" pull: Document the "--[no-]recurse-submodules" options Johannes Sixt (2): start_command: flush buffers in the WIN32 code path as well t4120-apply-popt: help systems with core.filemode=false Jonathan Nieder (5): quote.h: simplify the inclusion fast-import: clarify documentation of "feature" command fast-import: introduce "feature notes" command compat: helper for detecting unsigned overflow svn-fe: warn about experimental status Junio C Hamano (3): fsck: drop unused parameter from traverse_one_object() fsck: do not give up too early in fsck_dir() Git 1.7.4.1 Nguyán ThÃi Ngác Duy (4): diff: support --cached on unborn branches Add const to parse_{commit,tag}_buffer() sha1_file.c: move find_cached_object up so sha1_object_info can use it sha1_object_info: examine cached_object store too Pat Thoyts (2): t3509: use unconstrained initial test to setup repository. t7407: fix line endings for mingw build Shawn O.
