limitation of the latter. Use of post-update hook will be deprecated
|

in future versions of git, perhaps in v1.5.5.
|

|

* "git lost-found" was deprecated in favor of "git fsck"'s --lost-found
|
||||
option, and will be removed in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git peek-remote" is deprecated, as "git ls-remote" was written in C

and works for all transports, and will be removed in the future.

Updates since v1.5.3
|

--------------------
|
||||
|

* Comes with much improved gitk.
|

* Comes with git-gui 0.9.0 with i18n.

|
||||
* git-lost-found was deprecated in favor of git-fsck's --lost-found
|
||||
option.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-peek-remote is deprecated, as git-ls-remote was written in C and
|
||||
works for all transports.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-cherry-pick made a misguided attempt to repeat the original
|
||||
command line in the generated log message, when told to cherry-pick a
|
||||
commit by naming a tag that points at it. It does not anymore.
|
||||
|
||||
* "progress display" from many commands are a lot nicer to the
|
||||
eye. Transfer commands show throughput data.

||||
* progress display from many commands are a lot nicer to the eye.
|
||||
Transfer commands show throughput data.
|
||||
|
||||
* many commands that pay attention to per-directory .gitignore now do
|
||||
so lazily, which makes the usual case go much faster.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-reset is now built-in and its output can be squelched with -q.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-send-email can optionally talk over ssmtp and use SMTP-AUTH.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-rebase learned --whitespace option.
|
||||
|
||||
* In git-rebase, when you decide not to replay a particular change
|
||||
after the command stopped with a conflict, you can say "git-rebase
|
||||
--skip" without first running "git reset --hard", as the command now
|
||||
runs it for you.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-remote knows --mirror mode.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-merge can call the "post-merge" hook.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-pack-objects can optionally run deltification with multiple threads.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-archive can optionally substitute keywords in files marked with
|
||||
export-subst attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-for-each-ref learned %(xxxdate:<dateformat>) syntax to
|
||||
show the various date fields in different formats.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-gc --auto is a low-impact way to automatically run a
|
||||
variant of git-repack that does not lose unreferenced objects
|
||||
(read: safer than the usual one) after the user accumulates
|
||||
too many loose objects.
|
||||
|
||||
* You need to explicitly set clean.requireForce to "false" to allow
|
||||
git-clean without -f to do any damage (lack of the configuration
|
||||
variable used to mean "do not require", but we now use the safer
|
||||
default).
|
||||
|
||||
* git-clean has been rewritten in C.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-push has been rewritten in C.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-push learned --dry-run option to show what would happen
|
||||
if a push is run.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-push does not update a tracking ref on the pushing side when the
|
||||
remote refused to update the corresponding ref.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-push learned --mirror option. This is to push the local refs
|
||||
one-to-one to the remote, and deletes refs from the remote that do
|
||||
not exist anymore in the repository on the pushing side.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-remote learned "rm" subcommand.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-rebase --interactive mode can now work on detached HEAD.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-cvsserver can be run via git-shell.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-am and git-rebase are far less verbose.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-pull learned to pass --[no-]ff option to underlying git-merge.
|
||||
|
||||
* Various Perforce importer updates.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git log" learned --early-output option to help interactive
|
||||
GUI implementations.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-svnimport was removed in favor of git-svn.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-bisect learned "skip" action to mark untestable commits.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-format-patch learned "format.numbered" configuration variable
|
||||
to automatically turn --numbered option on when more than one
|
||||
commits are formatted.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-ls-files learned "--exclude-standard" to use the canned
|
||||
set of exclude files.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-rebase now detaches head during its operation, so after a
|
||||
successful "git rebase" operation, the reflog entry branch@{1}
|
||||
for the current branch points at the commit before the rebase
|
||||
was started.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git-tag -a -f existing" begins the editor session using the
|
||||
existing annotation message.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git cvsexportcommit" learned -w option to specify and switch
|
||||
to the CVS working directory.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git checkout" from a subdirectory learned to use "../path"
|
||||
to allow checking out a path outside the current directory
|
||||
without cd'ing up.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git send-email --dry-run" shows full headers for easier
|
||||
diagnosis.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git merge-ours" is built-in.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git svn" learned "info" and "show-externals" subcommands.
|
||||
|
||||
* calling "git svn" from a subdirectory failed read settings from the
|

.git/config.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git svn" learned --use-log-author option, which picks up more
|
||||
descriptive name from From: and Signed-off-by: lines in the commit
|
||||
message.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git status" from a subdirectory now shows relative paths
|
||||
which makes copy-and-pasting for git-checkout/git-add/git-rm
|
||||
easier.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git checkout" from and to detached HEAD leaves a bit more
|
||||
information in the reflog.
