1.6.3.4

GIT v1.6.3.4 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.6.3.3 --------------------

• "git add --no-ignore-errors" did not override configured add.ignore-errors configuration.

• "git apply --whitespace=fix" did not fix trailing whitespace on an incomplete line.

• "git branch" opened too many commit objects unnecessarily.

• "git checkout -f $commit" with a path that is a file (or a symlink) in the work tree to a commit that has a directory at the path issued an unnecessary error message.

• "git diff -c/--cc" was very inefficient in coalescing the removed lines shared between parents.

• "git diff -c/--cc" showed removed lines at the beginning of a file incorrectly.

• "git remote show nickname" did not honor configured remote.nickname.uploadpack when inspecting the branches at the remote.

• "git request-pull" when talking to the terminal for a preview showed some of the output in the pager.

• "git request-pull start nickname [end]" did not honor configured remote.nickname.uploadpack when it ran git-ls-remote against the remote repository to learn the current tip of branches.

Includes other documentation updates and minor fixes.
