Many small documentation updates are included as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.6.2.2 are as follows: Bj=C3=B6rn Steinbrink (1): process_{tree,blob}: Remove useless xstrdup calls Brandon Casey (6): t7700-repack: add two new tests demonstrating repacking flaws git-repack.sh: don't use --kept-pack-only option to pack-objects pack-objects: only repack or loosen objects residing in "local" p= acks Remove --kept-pack-only option and associated infrastructure t7700: demonstrate repack flaw which may loosen objects unnecessa= rily pack-objects: don't loosen objects available in alternate or kept= packs Dan McGee (1): git-repack: use non-dashed update-server-info Daniel Cheng (aka SDiZ) (1): State the effect of filter-branch on graft explicitly Jari Aalto (1): Change double quotes to single quotes in message Jason Merrill (1): Documentation: clarify .gitattributes search Jeff King (2): t1301: loosen test for forced modes commit: abort commit if interactive add failed Johan Herland (1): Move chmod(foo, 0444) into move_temp_to_file() Julien Danjou (1): git submodule: fix usage line Junio C Hamano (12): git-repack: resist stray environment variable has_sha1_pack(): refactor "pretend these packs do not exist" inte= rface has_sha1_kept_pack(): take "struct rev_info" Consolidate ignore_packed logic more Simplify is_kept_pack() is_kept_pack(): final clean-up diff --cached: do not borrow from a work tree when a path is mark= ed as assume-unchanged "core.sharedrepository =3D 0mode" should set, not loosen move_temp_to_file(): do not forget to chmod() in "Coda hack" code= path set_shared_perm(): sometimes we know what the final mode bits sho= uld look like Start 1.6.2.3 preparation GIT 1.6.2.3 Linus Torvalds (1): process_{tree,blob}: Remove useless xstrdup calls Markus Heidelberg (1): doc/git-pack-refs: fix two grammar issues Matthieu Moy (3): git-checkout.txt: fix incorrect statement about HEAD and index git-checkout.txt: clarify that applies when no path is g= iven. git-pull.sh: better warning message for "git pull" on detached he= ad.
