To use my repository follow the instructions on the page Git Packages for Ubuntu.

Overview of changes since v1.7.9.1

Git v1.7.9.2 Release Notes

Fixes since v1.7.9.1
--------------------

* Bash completion script (in contrib/) did not like a pattern that
begins with a dash to be passed to __git_ps1 helper function.

* Adaptation of the bash completion script (in contrib/) for zsh
incorrectly listed all subcommands when "git " was given
to ask for list of porcelain subcommands.

* The build procedure for profile-directed optimized binary was not
working very well.

* Some systems need to explicitly link -lcharset to get locale_charset().

* t5541 ignored user-supplied port number used for HTTP server testing.

* The error message emitted when we see an empty loose object was
not phrased correctly.

* The code to ask for password did not fall back to the terminal
input when GIT_ASKPASS is set but does not work (e.g. lack of X
with GUI askpass helper).

* We failed to give the true terminal width to any subcommand when
they are invoked with the pager, i.e. "git -p cmd".

* map_user() was not rewriting its output correctly, which resulted
in the user visible symptom that "git blame -e" sometimes showed
excess '>' at the end of email addresses.

* "git checkout -b" did not allow switching out of an unborn branch.

* When you have both .../foo and .../foo.git, "git clone .../foo" did not
favor the former but the latter.

* "git commit" refused to create a commit when entries added with
"add -N" remained in the index, without telling Git what their content
in the next commit should be. We should have created the commit without
these paths.

* "git diff --stat" said "files", "insertions", and "deletions" even
when it is showing one "file", one "insertion" or one "deletion".

* The output from "git diff --stat" for two paths that have the same
amount of changes showed graph bars of different length due to the
way we handled rounding errors.

* "git grep" did not pay attention to -diff (hence -binary) attribute.

* The transport programs (fetch, push, clone)ignored --no-progress
and showed progress when sending their output to a terminal.

* Sometimes error status detected by a check in an earlier phase of
"git receive-pack" (the other end of "git push") was lost by later
checks, resulting in false indication of success.

* "git rev-list --verify" sometimes skipped verification depending on
the phase of the moon, which dates back to 1.7.8.x series.

* Search box in "gitweb" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly.

* Search interface of "gitweb" did not show multiple matches in the same file
correctly.

Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.

Git v1.7.9.3 Release Notes

Fixes since v1.7.9.2
--------------------

 * "git p4" (in contrib/) submit the changes to a wrong place when the
   "--use-client-spec" option is set.

 * The config.mak.autogen generated by optional autoconf support tried
   to link the binary with -lintl even when libintl.h is missing from
   the system.

 * When the filter driver exits before reading the content before the
   main git process writes the contents to be filtered to the pipe to
   it, the latter could be killed with SIGPIPE instead of ignoring
   such an event as an error.

 * "git add --refresh " used to warn about unmerged paths
   outside the given pathspec.

 * The bulk check-in codepath in "git add" streamed contents that
   needs smudge/clean filters without running them, instead of punting
   and delegating to the codepath to run filters after slurping
   everything to core.

 * "git branch --with $that" assumed incorrectly that the user will never
   ask the question with nonsense value in $that.

 * "git bundle create" produced a corrupt bundle file upon seeing
   commits with excessively long subject line.

 * When a remote helper exits before reading the blank line from the
   main git process to signal the end of commands, the latter could be
   killed with SIGPIPE. Instead we should ignore such event as a
   non-error.

 * The commit log template given with "git merge --edit" did not have
   a short instructive text like what "git commit" gives.

 * "git rev-list --verify-objects -q" omitted the extra verification
   it needs to do over "git rev-list --objects -q" by mistake.

 * "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.

 * An invalid regular expression pattern given by an end user made
   "gitweb" to return garbled response.

Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.

Git v1.7.9.4 Release Notes

Fixes since v1.7.9.3
--------------------

 * The code to synthesize the fake ancestor tree used by 3-way merge
   fallback in "git am" was not prepared to read a patch created with
   a non-standard -p value.

 * "git bundle" did not record boundary commits correctly when there
   are many of them.

 * "git diff-index" and its friends at the plumbing level showed the
   "diff --git" header and nothing else for a path whose cached stat
   info is dirty without actual difference when asked to produce a
   patch. This was a longstanding bug that we could have fixed long
   time ago.

 * "gitweb" did use quotemeta() to prepare search string when asked to
   do a fixed-string project search, but did not use it by mistake and
   used the user-supplied string instead.

Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
