Git v1.7.0.4 Release Notes
========================

Fixes since v1.7.0.3
-------------------------

• Optimized ntohl/htonl on big-endian machines were broken.
• Color values given to "color.." configuration can now have more than one attributes (e.g. "bold ul").
• "git add -u nonexistent-path" did not complain.
• "git apply --whitespace=fix" didn't work well when an early patch in a patch series adds trailing blank lines and a later one depended on such a block of blank lines at the end.
• "git fast-export" didn't check error status and stop when marks file cannot be opened.
• "git format-patch --ignore-if-in-upstream" gave unwarranted errors when the range was empty, instead of silently finishing.
• "git remote prune" did not detect remote tracking refs that became dangling correctly.

And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
