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.

* Scripts to test bash completion was inherently flaky as it was
   affected by whatever random things the user may have on $PATH.

* A fix was added to the build procedure to work around buggy
   versions of ccache broke the auto-generation of dependencies, which
   unfortunately is still relevant because some people use ancient
   distros.

* 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 cherry-pick" did not replay a root commit to an unborn branch.

* We forgot to close the file descriptor reading from "gpg" output,
   killing "git log --show-signature" on a long history.

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

* Rebasing the history of superproject with change in the submodule
   has been broken since v1.7.12.

* A failure to push due to non-ff while on an unborn branch
   dereferenced a NULL pointer when showing an error message.

Also contains various documentation fixes.
