Git v1.7.7 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v1.7.6
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* The scripting part of the codebase is getting prepared for i18n/l10n.
|
|
|
|
* Interix, Cygwin and Minix ports got updated.
|
|
|
|
* A handful of patches to update git-p4 (in contrib/).
|
|
|
|
* Gitweb learned to read from /etc/gitweb-common.conf when it exists,
|
|
before reading from gitweb_config.perl or from /etc/gitweb.conf
|
|
(this last one is read only when per-repository gitweb_config.perl
|
|
does not exist).
|
|
|
|
* Various codepaths that invoked zlib deflate/inflate assumed that these
|
|
functions can compress or uncompress more than 4GB data in one call on
|
|
platforms with 64-bit long, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git archive" can be told to pass the output to gzip compression and
|
|
produce "archive.tar.gz".
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout" (both the code to update the files upon checking out a
|
|
different branch, the code to checkout specific set of files) learned
|
|
to stream the data from object store when possible, without having to
|
|
read the entire contents of a file in memory first. An earlier round
|
|
of this code that is not in any released version had a large leak but
|
|
now it has been plugged.
|
|
|
|
* "git clone" can now take "--config key=value" option to set the
|
|
repository configuration options that affect the initial checkout.
|
|
|
|
* "git commit <paths>..." now lets you feed relative pathspecs that
|
|
refer outside your current subdirectory.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff --stat" learned --stat-count option to limit the output of
|
|
diffstat report.
|
|
|
|
* "git fetch", "git push" and friends no longer show connection
|
|
errors for addresses that couldn't be connected when at least one
|
|
address succeeds (this is arguably a regression but a deliberate
|
|
one).
|
|
|
|
* "git grep" learned --break and --heading options, to let users mimic
|
|
output format of "ack".
|
|
|
|
* "git grep" learned "-W" option that shows wider context using the same
|
|
logic used by "git diff" to determine the hunk header.
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase master topci" no longer spews usage hints after giving
|
|
"fatal: no such branch: topci" error message.
|
|
|
|
* "git stash" learned --include-untracked option.
|
|
|
|
* "git submodule update" used to stop at the first error updating a
|
|
submodule; it now goes on to update other submodules that can be
|
|
updated, and reports the ones with errors at the end.
|
|
|
|
* "git verify-pack" has been rewritten to use the "index-pack" machinery
|
|
that is more efficient in reading objects in packfiles.
|
|
|
|
* test scripts for gitweb tried to run even when CGI-related perl modules
|
|
are not installed; it now exits early when they are unavailable.
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates and minor miscellaneous
|
|
changes.
|
|

Fixes since v1.7.6
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes in 1.7.6.X maintenance track are
|
|
included in this release.
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout -b <branch>" sometimes wrote a bogus reflog entry,
|
|
causing later "git checkout -" fail.
|
|
(merge 71ee7fd jc/checkout-reflog-fix~1 later).
|
|
|
|
* "git diff --cc" learned to correctly ignore binary files.
|
|
(merge 0508fe5 jk/combine-diff-binary-etc later)
|
|
|
|
* "git fast-export" forgot to quote pathnames with unsafe characters
|
|
in its output.
|
|
(merge 6280dfd jk/fast-export-quote-path later)
|
|
|
|
* "git fetch" did not recurse into submodules in subdirectories.
|
|
(merge ea2d325 jl/maint-fetch-recursive-fix later)
|
|
|
|
* "git ls-tree" did not error out when asked to show a corrupt tree.
|
|
(merge 04f8925 js/ls-tree-error later)
|
|
|
|
* "git pull" without any argument left an extra whitespace after the
|
|
command name in its reflog.
|
|
(merge c98d1e4 oa/pull-reflog later)
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase -i -p" incorrectly dropped commits from side branches.
|
|
(merge 12bf828 aw/rebase-i-p later)
|
|
|
|
* "git reset [<commit>] paths..." did not reset the index entry correctly
|
|
for unmerged paths.
|
|
(merge ff00b682 jc/maint-reset-unmerged-path later)
|
|
|
|
* "git submodule add" did not allow a relative repository path when
|
|
the superproject did not have any default remote url.
|
|
(merge f22a17e8 jl/submodule-add-relurl-wo-upstream later)
|
|
|
|
* "git submodule foreach" failed to correctly give the standard input to
|
|
the user-supplied command it invoked.
|
|
(merge 4dca1aa bc/submodule-foreach-stdin-fix-1.7.4 later)
|
|
|
|
* "git submodule update --quiet" was not really quiet.
|
|
(merge 7e60407 jl/submodule-update-quiet later)
|
|
|
|
* submodules that the user has never showed interest in by running
|
|
"git submodule init" was incorrectly marked as interesting by "git
|
|
submodule sync".
|
|
(merge 2cd9de3 jc/submodule-sync-no-auto-vivify later)
|
|
|
|
* "git tag -l <glob>..." did not take multiple glob patterns from the
|
|
command line.
|
|
(merge 588d0e8 jk/tag-list-multiple-patterns later)
