1.5.3.6

GIT v1.5.3.6 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.5.3.5 --------------------

• git-cvsexportcommit handles root commits better.

• git-svn dcommit used to clobber when sending a series of patches.

• git-svn dcommit failed after attempting to rebase when started with a dirty index; now it stops upfront.

• git-grep sometimes refused to work when your index was unmerged.

• "git-grep -A1 -B2" acted as if it was told to run "git -A1 -B21".

• git-hash-object did not honor configuration variables, such as core.compression.

• git-index-pack choked on a huge pack on 32-bit machines, even when large file offsets are supported.

• atom feeds from git-web said "10" for the month of November.

• a memory leak in commit walker was plugged.

• When git-send-email inserted the original author’s From: address in body, it did not mark the message with Content-type: as needed.

• git-revert and git-cherry-pick incorrectly refused to start when the work tree was dirty.

• git-clean did not honor core.excludesfile configuration.

• git-add mishandled ".gitignore" files when applying them to subdirectories.

• While importing a too branchy history, git-fastimport did not honor delta depth limit properly.

• Support for zlib implementations that lack ZLIB_VERNUM and definition of deflateBound() has been added.

• Quite a lot of documentation clarifications.
