1.7.3.4

Git v1.7.3.4 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.7.3.3 --------------------

• Smart HTTP transport used to incorrectly retry redirected POST request with GET request.

• "git apply" did not correctly handle patches that only change modes if told to apply while stripping leading paths with -p option.

• "git apply" can deal with patches with timezone formatted with a colon between the hours and minutes part (e.g. "-08:00" instead of "-0800").

• "git checkout" removed an untracked file "foo" from the working tree when switching to a branch that contains a tracked path "foo/bar". Prevent this, just like the case where the conflicting path were "foo" (c752e7f..7980872d).

• "git cherry-pick" or "git revert" refused to work when a path that would be modified by the operation was stat-dirty without a real difference in the contents of the file.

• "git diff --check" reported an incorrect line number for added blank lines at the end of file.

• "git imap-send" failed to build under NO_OPENSSL.

• Setting log.decorate configuration variable to "0" or "1" to mean "false" or "true" did not work.

• "git push" over dumb HTTP protocol did not work against WebDAV servers that did not terminate a collection name with a slash.

• "git tag -v" did not work with GPG signatures in rfc1991 mode.

• The post-receive-email sample hook was accidentally broken in 1.7.3.3 update.

• "gitweb" can sometimes be tricked into parrotting a filename argument given in a request without properly quoting.

Other minor fixes and documentation updates are also included.
