1.6.2.1

GIT v1.6.2.1 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.6.2 ------------------

• gitignore learned to handle backslash as a quoting mechanism for

  comment introduction character "#".

• timestamp output in --date=relative mode used to display timestamps that are long time ago in the default mode; it now uses "N years M months ago", and "N years ago".

• git-add -i/-p now works with non-ASCII pathnames.

• "git hash-object -w" did not read from the configuration file from the correct .git directory.

• git-send-email learned to correctly handle multiple Cc: addresses.
