[ANNOUNCE] Git 1.7.6.2

[ANNOUNCE] Git 1.7.6.2

[Junio C Hamano]

I've tagged the latest maintenance release Git 1.7.6.2 but unfortunately
the tarballs are not available at the usual places. The release can be
fetched from any of the following repositories, at the tip of 'maint'
branch.

	git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git
	https://github.com/gitster/git
	https://code.google.com/p/git-core/
	git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git
	git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core

This is primarily to fix "git push --quiet" breakage in 1.7.6.1.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Changes since v1.7.6.1 are as follows:

Junio C Hamano (3):
      whitespace: have SP on both sides of an assignment "="
      Revert "Merge branch 'cb/maint-quiet-push' into maint"
      Git 1.7.6.2

Pang Yan Han (1):
      update-ref: whitespace fix

Thomas Rast (1):
      Documentation: clarify effects of -- <path> arguments

Does "git revert --help" lack the description?

It warns that "As a result, later merges will only bring in tree
changes introduced by commits that are not ancestors of the previously
reverted merge." How would you later re-merge the series when the
problems it has are fixed though?

Simple. I won't re-merge nor allow a fix-up series to be queued on top of
the failed topic.

Ah, as long as the reroll has a different sha1 there is no problem,
makes sense. Simple yet effective :)
