1.7.11.4

Git v1.7.11.4 Release Notes ===========================

Fixes since v1.7.11.3 ---------------------

• "$GIT_DIR/COMMIT_EDITMSG" file that is used to hold the commit log message user edits was not documented.

• The advise() function did not use varargs correctly to format its message.

• When "git am" failed, old timers knew to check .git/rebase-apply/patch to see what went wrong, but we never told the users about it.

• "git commit-tree" learned a more natural "-p <parent> <tree>" order of arguments long time ago, but recently forgot it by mistake.

• "git diff --no-ext-diff" did not output anything for a typechange filepair when GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF is in effect.

• In 1.7.9 era, we taught "git rebase" about the raw timestamp format but we did not teach the same trick to "filter-branch", which rolled a similar logic on its own.

• When "git submodule add" clones a submodule repository, it can get confused where to store the resulting submodule repository in the superproject’s .git/ directory when there is a symbolic link in the path to the current directory.

Also contains minor typofixes and documentation updates.
