Git v1.7.11.6 Release Notes
===========================
Fixes since v1.7.11.5
---------------------
This is primarily documentation and low-impact code clarification.
- "ciabot" script (in contrib/) has been updated with extensive
documentation.
- The "--rebase" option to "git pull" can be abbreviated to "-r",
but we didn't document it.
- It was generally understood that "--long-option"s to many of our
subcommands can be abbreviated to the unique prefix, but it was not
easy to find it described for new readers of the documentation set.
- The "--topo-order", "--date-order" (and the lack of either means
the default order) options to "rev-list" and "log" family of
commands were poorly described in the documentation.
- Older parts of the documentation described as if having a regular
file in .git/refs/ hierarchy were the only way to have branches and
tags, which is not true for quite some time.
- A utility shell function test_seq has been added as a replacement
for the 'seq' utility found on some platforms.
- Fallback 'getpass' implementation made unportable use of stdio API.
- "git commit --amend" let the user edit the log message and then
died when the human-readable committer name was given
insufficiently by getpwent(3).
