Because\n   people's repositories often have packed refs these days, this was\n   confusing.\n\n * \"git diff --output=/path/that/cannot/be/written\" did not correctly\n   error out.\n\n * \"git grep -e -pattern-that-begin-with-dash paths...\" could not be\n   spelled as \"git grep -- -pattern-that-begin-with-dash paths...\" which\n   would be a GNU way to use \"--\" as \"end of options\".\n\n * \"git grep\" compiled with threading support tried to access an\n   uninitialized mutex on boxes with a single CPU.\n\n * \"git stash pop -q --index\" failed because the unnecessary --index\n   option was propagated to \"git stash drop\" that is internally run at the\n   end.\n\nAnd other minor fixes and documentation updates.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nChanges since v1.7.0 are as follows:\n\nBert Wesarg (2):\n      Documentation: mention conflict marker size argument (%L) for merge driver\n      rerere: fix memory leak if rerere images can't be read\n\nEvan Powers (1):\n      git-p4: fix bug in symlink handling\n\nJacob Helwig (1):\n      Documentation: Fix indentation problem in git-commit(1)\n\nJeff King (9):\n      accept \"git grep -- pattern\"\n      cherry-pick: rewrap advice message\n      cherry-pick: refactor commit parsing code\n      cherry-pick: format help message as strbuf\n      cherry-pick: show commit name instead of sha1\n      cherry-pick: prettify the advice message\n      dwim_ref: fix dangling symref warning\n      docs: don't talk about $GIT_DIR/refs/ everywhere\n      rm: fix bug in recursive subdirectory removal\n\nJohannes Sixt (1):\n      t3301-notes: insert a shbang line in ./fake_editor.sh\n\nJonathan Nieder (1):\n      am: remove rebase-apply directory before gc\n\nJunio C Hamano (6):\n      Typofixes outside documentation area\n      Start 1.7.0 maintenance track\n      Fix use of mutex in threaded grep\n      Prepare 1.7.0.1 release notes\n      Update 1.7.0.1 release notes\n      Git 1.7.0.1\n\nLarry D'Anna (1):\n      diff: make sure --output=/bad/path is caught\n\nMark Lodato (2):\n      grep documentation: clarify what files match\n      Remove reference to GREP_COLORS from documentation\n\nMarkus Heidelberg (1):\n      sha1_name: fix segfault caused by invalid index access\n\nMatt Kraai (1):\n      commit: quote the user name in the example\n\nPete Harlan (1):\n      Remove hyphen from \"git-command\" in two error messages\n\nRené Scharfe (1):\n      fix minor memory leak in get_tree_entry()\n\nStephen Boyd (1):\n      Documentation: describe --thin more accurately\n\nThomas Rast (2):\n      stash pop: remove 'apply' options during 'drop' invocation\n      t1450: fix testcases that were wrongly expecting failure\n"}]}
