GIT v1.5.1.4 Release Notes
==========================

Fixes since v1.5.1.3
--------------------

* Bugfixes

- "git-http-fetch" did not work around a bug in libcurl
earlier than 7.16 (curl_multi_remove_handle() was broken).

- "git cvsserver" handles a file that was once removed and
then added again correctly.

- import-tars script (in contrib/) handles GNU tar archives
that contain pathnames longer than 100 bytes (long-link
extension) correctly.

- xdelta test program did not build correctly.

- gitweb sometimes tried incorrectly to apply function to
decode utf8 twice, resulting in corrupt output.

- "git blame -C" mishandled text at the end of a group of
lines.

- "git log/rev-list --boundary" did not produce output
correctly without --left-right option.

- Many documentation updates.
