GIT v1.5.4 Release Notes
========================
Deprecation notices
-------------------
* Next feature release of git (this change is scheduled for v1.5.5 but
it could slip) will by default install dashed form of commands
(e.g. "git-commit") outside of users' normal $PATH, and will install
only selected commands ("git" itself, and "gitk") in $PATH. This
implies:
- Using dashed form of git commands (e.g. "git-commit") from the
command line has been informally deprecated since early 2006, but
now it officially is, and will be removed in the future. Use
dashless form (e.g. "git commit") instead.
- Using dashed from from your scripts, without first prepending the
return value from "git --exec-path" to the scripts' PATH, has been
informally deprecated since early 2006, but now it officially is.
- Use of dashed form with "PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH; export
PATH" early in your script is not deprecated with this change.
Users are strongly encouraged to adjust their habits and scripts now
to prepare for this.
* The post-receive hook was introduced in March 2007 to supersede
post-update hook, primarily to overcome the command line length
limitation of the latter. Use of post-update hook will be deprecated
in future versions of git, perhaps in v1.5.5.
Updates since v1.5.3
--------------------
@ -14,9 +44,16 @@ Updates since v1.5.3
* 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.
* 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.
@ -110,20 +147,36 @@ Updates since v1.5.3
* "git merge-ours" is built-in.
* "git svn" learned "info" subcommand.
* "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.
* Output processing for '--pretty=format:<user format>' has
been optimized.
* Rename detection diff family, while detecting exact matches,
has been greatly optimized.
* Rename detection of diff family, while detecting exact matches, has
been greatly optimized.
* Rename detection of diff family tries to make more naturally looking
pairing. Earlier if more than one identical rename sources were
found in the preimage, they were picked pretty much at random.
* Example update and post-receive hooks have been improved.
* A corrupt ref at the remote site can be removed via "git push".
* In addition there are quite a few internal clean-ups. Notably
- many fork/exec have been replaced with run-command API,
