GIT v1.6.2 Release Notes
========================
Updates since v1.6.1
--------------------
(subsystems)
(portability)
(performance)
* pack-objects autodetects the number of CPUs available and uses threaded
version.
(usability, bells and whistles)
* "git-add -p" learned 'g'oto action to jump directly to a hunk.
* git-cherry defaults to HEAD when the <upstream> argument is not given.
* git-cvsserver can be told not to add extra "via git-CVS emulator" to the
commit log message it serves via gitcvs.commitmsgannotation configuration.
* git-diff learned a new option --inter-hunk-context to coalesce close
hunks together and show context between them.
* git-filter-branch learned --prune-empty option that discards commits
that do not change the contents.
* git-ls-tree learned --full-tree option that shows the path in full
regardless of where in the work tree hierarchy the command was started.
* git-mergetool learned -y(--no-prompt) option to disable prompting.
* "git-reset --merge" is a new mode that works similar to the way
"git checkout" switches branches, taking the local changes while
switching to another commit.
(internal)
Fixes since v1.6.1
------------------
All of the fixes in v1.6.1.X maintenance series are included in this
release, unless otherwise noted.
* "git-add sub/file" when sub is a submodule incorrectly added the path to
the superproject.
* git-bundle did not exclude annotated tags even when a range given from the
command line wanted to.
* git-grep did not work correctly for index entries with assume-unchanged bit.
* branch switching and merges had a silly bug that did not validate
the correct directory when making sure an existing subdirectory is
clean.
