1.7.5.3

Git v1.7.5.3 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.7.5.2 --------------------

• The bash completion scripts should correctly work using zsh’s bash completion emulation layer now.

• Setting $(prefix) in config.mak did not affect where etc/gitconfig file is read from, even though passing it from the command line of $(MAKE) did.

• The logic to handle "&" (expand to UNIX username) in GECOS field miscounted the length of the name it formatted.

• "git cherry-pick -s resolve" failed to cherry-pick a root commit.

• "git diff --word-diff" misbehaved when diff.suppress-blank-empty was in effect.

• "git log --stdin path" with an input that has additional pathspec used to corrupt memory.

• "git send-pack" (hence "git push") over smart-HTTP protocol could deadlock when the client side pack-object died early.

• Compressed tarball gitweb generates used to be made with the timestamp of the tarball generation; this was bad because snapshot from the same tree should result in a same tarball.

And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
