Git 1.8.1.3 Release Notes
=========================

Fixes since v1.8.1.2
--------------------

 * The attribute mechanism didn't allow limiting attributes to be
   applied to only a single directory itself with "path/" like the
   exclude mechanism does.  The fix for this in 1.8.1.2 had
   performance degradations.

 * Command line completion code was inadvertently made incompatible with
   older versions of bash by using a newer array notation.

 * We used to stuff "user@" and then append what we read from
   /etc/mailname to come up with a default e-mail ident, but a bug
   lost the "user@" part.

 * "git am" did not parse datestamp correctly from Hg generated patch,
   when it is run in a locale outside C (or en).

 * Attempt to "branch --edit-description" an existing branch, while
   being on a detached HEAD, errored out.

 * "git rebase --preserve-merges" lost empty merges in recent versions
   of Git.

Also contains various documentation fixes.
