Git v1.7.10 Release Notes
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v1.7.9
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* Improved handling of views, labels and branches in git-p4 (in contrib).
|
|
|
|
* Updated command line arguments completion script for zsh (in contrib).
|
|
|
|
* "vcs-svn"/"svn-fe" learned to read dumps with svn-deltas and
|
|
support incremental imports.
|
|
|
|
* "git am" learned to pass "-b" option to underlying "git mailinfo", so
|
|
that bracketed string other than "PATCH" at the beginning can be kept.
|
|
|
|
* "git clone" learned "--single-branch" option to limit cloning to a
|
|
single branch (surprise!).
|
|
|
|
* "git clone" learned to detach the HEAD in the resulting repository
|
|
when the source repository's HEAD does not point to a branch.
|
|
|
|
* The commands in the "git diff" family and "git apply --stat" that
|
|
count the number of files changed and the number of lines
|
|
inserted/deleted have been updated to match the output from
|
|
"diffstat". This also opens the door to i18n this line.
|
|
|
|
* When showing a patch while ignoring whitespace changes, the context
|
|
lines are taken from the postimage, in order to make it easier to
|
|
view the output.
|
|
|
|
* "git merge" in an interactive session learned to spawn the editor
|
|
by default to let the user edit the auto-generated merge message,
|
|
to encourage people to explain their merges better. Legacy scripts
|
|
can export MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no to retain the historical behaviour.
|
|
|
|
* "gitweb" allows intermediate entries in the directory hierarchy
|
|
that leads to a projects to be clicked, which in turn shows the
|
|
list of projects inside that directory.
|
|
|
|
Performance
|
|
|
|
* During "git upload-pack" in respose to "git fetch", unnecessary calls
|
|
to parse_object() have been eliminated, to help performance in
|
|
repositories with excessive number of refs.
|
|
|
|
Internal Implementation
|
|
|
|
* Recursive call chains in "git index-pack" to deal with long delta
|
|
chains have been flattened, to reduce the stack footprint.
|
|
|
|
* Use of add_extra_ref() API is slowly getting removed, to make it
|
|
possible to cleanly restructure the overall refs API.
|
|
|
|
* The test suite supports the new "test_pause" helper function.
|
|
|
|
* t/Makefile is adjusted to prevent newer versions of GNU make from
|
|
running tests in seemingly random order.
|
|
|
|
Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.7.9
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.7.9 in the maintenance
|
|
releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
|
|
details).
|
|
|
|
* The error message emitted when we see an empty loose object was
|
|
not phrased correctly.
|
|
(merge 33e42de mm/empty-loose-error-message later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git commit" refused to create a commit when entries added with
|
|
"add -N" remained in the index, without telling Git what their content
|
|
in the next commit should be. We should have created the commit without
|
|
these paths.
|
|
(merge 3f6d56d jc/maint-commit-ignore-i-t-a later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Search box in "gitweb" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly.
|
|
(merge 84d9e2d jn/gitweb-search-utf-8 later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The code to ask for password did not fall back to the terminal
|
|
input when GIT_ASKPASS is set but does not work (e.g. lack of X
|
|
with GUI askpass helper).
|
|
(merge 84d7273 jk/prompt-fallback-to-tty later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* map_user() was not rewriting its output correctly, which resulted
|
|
in the user visible symptom that "git blame -e" sometimes showed
|
|
excess '>' at the end of email addresses.
|
|
(merge f026358 jc/maint-mailmap-output later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "checkout -b" did not allow switching out of an unborn branch.
|
|
(merge abe1998 jc/checkout-out-of-unborn later to maint).
