Git v1.7.2 Release Notes (draft)
================================
Updates since v1.7.1
--------------------
* After "git apply --whitespace=fix" removed trailing blank lines in an
patch in a patch series, it failed to apply later patches that depend
on the presense of such blank lines.
* The output from the textconv filter used by "git diff" can be cached to
speed up their reuse.
* "git send-email" learned --smtp-domain option to specify the domainname
used in the EHLO/HELO exchange.
* "git revert" learned --strategy option to specify the merge strategy.
* The whitespace rules used in "git apply --whitespace" and "git diff"
gained a new member in the family (tab-in-indent) to help projects with
policy to indent only with spaces.
* Authentication over http transport can now be made lazily, in that the
request can first go to a URL without username, get a 401 response and
then the client will ask for the username to use.
Fixes since v1.7.1
------------------
* In 1.7.1, "git status" stopped refreshing the index by mistake.
All of the fixes in v1.7.1.X maintenance series are included in this
release, unless otherwise noted.
