1.7.1.2

Git v1.7.1.2 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.7.1.1 --------------------

• "git commit" did not honor GIT_REFLOG_ACTION environment variable, resulting reflog messages for cherry-pick and revert actions to be recorded as "commit".

• "git clone/fetch/pull" issued an incorrect error message when a ref and a symref that points to the ref were updated at the same time. This obviously would update them to the same value, and should not result in an error condition.

• "git diff" inside a tree with many pathnames that have certain characters has become very slow in 1.7.0 by mistake.

• "git rev-parse --parseopt --stop-at-non-option" did not stop at non option when --keep-dashdash was in effect.

• An overlong line after ".gitdir: " in a git file caused out of bounds access to an array on the stack.

• "git config --path conf.var" to attempt to expand a variable conf.var that uses "~/" short-hand segfaulted when $HOME environment variable was not set.

And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
