Fixes since v1.7.9.1
--------------------
-* The error message emitted when we see an empty loose object was
- not phrased correctly.
+ * Bash completion script (in contrib/) did not like a pattern that
+ begins with a dash to be passed to __git_ps1 helper function.
-* The code to ask for password did not fall back to the terminal
- input when GIT_ASKPASS is set but does not work (e.g. lack of X
- with GUI askpass helper).
+ * Adaptation of the bash completion script (in contrib/) for zsh
+ incorrectly listed all subcommands when "git <TAB><TAB>" was given
+ to ask for list of porcelain subcommands.
-* map_user() was not rewriting its output correctly, which resulted
- in the user visible symptom that "git blame -e" sometimes showed
- excess '>' at the end of email addresses.
+ * The build procedure for profile-directed optimized binary was not
+ working very well.
-* "git checkout -b" did not allow switching out of an unborn branch.
+ * Some systems need to explicitly link -lcharset to get locale_charset().
-* "git commit" refused to create a commit when entries added with
- "add -N" remained in the index, without telling Git what their content
- in the next commit should be. We should have created the commit without
- these paths.
+ * t5541 ignored user-supplied port number used for HTTP server testing.
-* Search box in "gitweb" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly.
+ * The error message emitted when we see an empty loose object was
+ not phrased correctly.
-* Search interface of "gitweb" did not show multiple matches in the same file
