GIT v1.5.1.3 Release Notes
==========================
 
Fixes since v1.5.1.2
--------------------
 
* Bugfixes
 
  - git-add tried to optimize by finding common leading
    directories across its arguments but botched, causing very
    confused behaviour.
 
  - unofficial rpm.spec file shipped with git was letting
    ETC_GITCONFIG set to /usr/etc/gitconfig.  Tweak the official
    Makefile to make it harder for distro people to make the
    same mistake, by setting the variable to /etc/gitconfig if
    prefix is set to /usr.
 
  - git-svn inconsistently stripped away username from the URL
    only when svnsync_props was in use.
 
  - git-svn got confused when handling symlinks on Mac OS.
 
  - git-send-email was not quoting recipient names that have
    period '.' in them.  Also it did not allow overriding
    envelope sender, which made it impossible to send patches to
    certain subscriber-only lists.
 
  - built-in write_tree() routine had a sequence that renamed a
    file that is still open, which some systems did not like.
 
  - when memory is very tight, sliding mmap code to read
    packfiles incorrectly closed the fd that was still being
    used to read the pack.
 
  - import-tars contributed front-end for fastimport was passing
    wrong directory modes without checking.
 
  - git-fastimport trusted its input too much and allowed to
    create corrupt tree objects with entries without a name.
 
  - git-fetch needlessly barfed when too long reflog action
    description was given by the caller.
 
Also contains various documentation updates.
