2 ==========================
7 * A longstanding confusing description of what --pickaxe option of
8 git-diff does has been clarified in the documentation.
10 * "git-blame -S" did not quite work near the commits that were given
11 on the command line correctly.
13 * "git diff --pickaxe-regexp" did not count overlapping matches
16 * "git diff" did not feed files in work-tree representation to external

22 * "git-format-patch --numbered-files --stdout" did not have to die of
23 incompatible options; it now simply ignores --numbered-files as no files

28 * "git-read-tree A B C..." without -m option has been broken for a long
31 * git-send-email ignored --in-reply-to when --no-thread was given.
33 * 'git-submodule add' did not tolerate extra slashes and ./ in the path it
34 accepted from the command line; it now is more lenient.
36 * git-svn misbehaved when the project contained a path that began with
39 * import-zips script (in contrib) did not compute the common directory
42 * miscompilation of negated enum constants by old gcc (2.9) affected the
43 codepaths to spawn subprocesses.
45 Many small documentation updates are included as well.
