Git v1.7.4.1 Release Notes
==========================

Fixes since v1.7.4
------------------

* On Windows platform, the codepath to spawn a new child process forgot
  to first flush the output buffer.

* "git bundle" did not use OFS_DELTA encoding, making its output a few
  per-cent larger than necessarily.

* The option to tell "git clone" to recurse into the submodules was
  misspelled with an underscore "--recurse_submodules".

* "git diff --cached HEAD" before the first commit does what an end user
  would expect (namely, show what would be committed without further "git
  add").

* "git fast-import" didn't accept the command to ask for "notes" feature
  to be present in its input stream, even though it was capable of the
  feature.

* "git fsck" gave up scanning loose object files in directories with
  garbage files.

And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
