while and were deprecated in mid 2008 (v1.6.0). When you give these
options to "git am", it will now warn and ask you not to use them.
+ * When you do not tell which branches and tags to push to the "git push"
+ command in any way, the command used "matching refs" rule to update
+ remote branches and tags with branches and tags with the same name you
+ locally have. In future versions of Git, this will change to use the
+ "upstream" rule to update the branch at the remote you would "pull"
+ from into your current branch with your local current branch. The
+ release after 1.7.10 will start issuing a warning about this change,
+ to encourage you to tell the command what to push out, e.g. by setting
+ push.default configuration.

Updates since v1.7.9
--------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
+ * various "gitk" updates.
+
* Teams for localizing the messages from the Porcelain layer of
commands are starting to form, thanks to Jiang Xin who volunteered
to be the localization coordinator. An initial set of translated
* Project search in "gitweb" shows the substring that matched in the
project name and description highlighted.
- * A new script "diffall" is added to contrib/; it drives an external
- an external tool to perform a directory diff of two Git revisions
+ * A new script "diffall" is added to contrib/; it drives an
+ external tool to perform a directory diff of two Git revisions
in one go, unlike "difftool" that compares one file at a time.
Foreign Interface
releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
details).
+ * Build with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER was broken and Git::I18N did not work
+ with versions of Perl older than 5.8.3.
+ (merge 5eb660e ab/perl-i18n later to maint).
+
* "git tag -s" honored "gpg.program" configuration variable since
1.7.9, but "git tag -v" and "git verify-tag" didn't.
(merge a2c2506 az/verify-tag-use-gpg-config later to maint).
- * "gitweb" used to drop warnings in the log file when "heads" view is
- accessed in a repository whose HEAD does not point at a valid
- branch.
+ * "configure" script learned to take "--with-sane-tool-path" from the
+ command line to record SANE_TOOL_PATH (used to avoid broken platform
+ tools in /usr/bin) in config.mak.autogen. This may be useful for
+ people on Solaris who have saner tools outside /usr/xpg[46]/bin.
+
+ * zsh port of bash completion script needed another workaround.
