Now it is honored. * The "binary" synthetic attribute made "diff" to treat the path as binary, but not "merge". Also contains many documentation updates. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.7.12.3 are as follows: Ben Walton (1): tests: "cp -a" is a GNUism Dave Borowitz (1): Documentation/Makefile: Allow custom XMLTO binary Dylan Alex Simon (1): gitweb.cgi: fix "comitter_tz" typo in feed Jeff King (1): http: fix segfault in handle_curl_result Junio C Hamano (6): merge: teach -Xours/-Xtheirs to binary ll-merge driver attr: "binary" attribute should choose built-in "binary" merge driver ll-merge: warn about inability to merge binary files only when we can't t1450: the order the objects are checked is undefined gitcli: parse-options lets you omit tail of long options Git 1.7.12.4 Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (2): gitignore.txt: suggestions how to get literal # or ! at the beginning attr: a note about the order of .gitattributes lookup Philip Oakley (5): Doc: shallow clone deepens _to_ new depth Doc: separate gitignore pattern sources Doc add: link gitignore Doc clean: add See Also link Doc branch: show -vv option and alternative Ramkumar Ramachandra (3): t/test-lib: make sure Git has already been built test-lib: use $SHELL_PATH, not $SHELL Git url doc: mark ftp/ftps as read-only and deprecate them Richard Fearn (1): Fix spelling error in post-receive-email hook Simon Ruderich (1): l10n: de.po: fix a few minor typos -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
