Git v1.8.4.5 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.8.4.4 --------------------

 * Recent update to remote-hg that attempted to make it work better
   with non ASCII pathnames fed Unicode strings to the underlying Hg
   API, which was wrong.

 * "git submodule init" copied "submodule.$name.update" settings from
   .gitmodules to .git/config without making sure if the suggested
   value was sensible.

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

Changes since v1.8.4.4 are as follows:

Junio C Hamano (2):
      submodule: do not copy unknown update mode from .gitmodules
      Git 1.8.4.5

Richard Hansen (1):
      remote-hg: don't decode UTF-8 paths into Unicode objects
