1.7.7.6

Git v1.7.7.6 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.7.7.5 --------------------

• The code to look up attributes for paths reused entries from a wrong directory when two paths in question are in adjacent directories and the name of the one directory is a prefix of the other.

• A wildcard that matches deeper hierarchy given to the "diff-index" command, e.g. "git diff-index HEAD — ’*.txt’", incorrectly reported additions of matching files even when there is no change.

• When producing a "thin pack" (primarily used in bundles and smart HTTP transfers) out of a fully packed repository, we unnecessarily avoided sending recent objects as a delta against objects we know the other side has.

Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
