GIT v1.6.1.1 Release Notes
==========================

Fixes since v1.6.1
------------------

* "git add frotz/nitfol" when "frotz" is a submodule should have errored
  out, but it didn't.

* "git apply" took file modes from the patch text and updated the mode
  bits of the target tree even when the patch was not about mode changes.

* "git bisect view" on Cygwin did not launch gitk

* "git checkout $tree" did not trigger an error.

* "git commit" tried to remove COMMIT_EDITMSG from the work tree by mistake.

* "git describe --all" complained when a commit is described with a tag,
  which was nonsense.

* "git diff --no-index --" did not trigger no-index (aka "use git-diff as
  a replacement of diff on untracked files") behaviour.

* "git format-patch -1 HEAD" on a root commit failed to produce patch
  text.

* "git fsck branch" did not work as advertised; instead it behaved the same
  way as "git fsck".

* "git log --pretty=format:%s" did not handle a multi-line subject the
  same way as built-in log listers (i.e. shortlog, --pretty=oneline, etc.)

* "git daemon", and "git merge-file" are more careful when freopen fails
  and barf, instead of going on and writing to unopened filehandle.

* "git http-push" did not like some RFC 4918 compliant DAV server
  responses.

* "git merge -s recursive" mistakenly overwritten an untracked file in the
  work tree upon delete/modify conflict.

* "git merge -s recursive" didn't leave the index unmerged for entries with
  rename/delete conflictd.

* "git merge -s recursive" clobbered untracked files in the work tree.

* "git mv -k" with more than one errorneous paths misbehaved.

* "git read-tree -m -u" hence branch switching incorrectly lost a
  subdirectory in rare cases.

* "git rebase -i" issued an unnecessary error message upon a user error of
  marking the first commit to be "squash"ed.

* "git shortlog" did not format a commit message with multi-line
  subject correctly.

Comes with many documentation updates.
