GIT v1.5.5 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v1.5.4
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
(performance)
|
|
|
|
* On platforms with suboptimal qsort(3) implementation, there
|
|
is an option to use more reasonable substitute we ship with
|
|
our software.
|
|
|
|
* New configuration variable "pack.packsizelimit" can be used
|
|
in place of command line option --max-pack-size.
|
|
|
|
* "git fetch" over the native git protocol used to make a
|
|
connection to find out the set of current remote refs and
|
|
another to actually download the pack data. We now use only
|
|
one connection for these tasks.
|
|
|
|
* "git commit" does not run lstat(2) more than necessary
|
|
anymore.
|
|
|
|
(usability, bells and whistles)
|
|
|
|
* You can be warned when core.autocrlf conversion is applied in
|
|
such a way that results in an irreversible conversion.
|
|
|
|
* A pattern "foo/" in .gitignore file now matches a directory
|
|
"foo". Pattern "foo" also matches as before.
|
|
|
|
* "git describe" learned to limit the tags to be used for
|
|
naming with --match option.
|
|
|
|
* "git describe --contains" now barfs when the named commit
|
|
cannot be described.
|
|
|
|
* bash completion's prompt helper function can talk about
|
|
operation in-progress (e.g. merge, rebase, etc.).
|
|
|
|
* "git commit" learned a new hook "prepare-commit-msg" that can
|
|
inspect what is going to be committed and prepare the commit
|
|
log message template to be edited.
|
|
|
|
* "git gui" learned an auto-spell checking.
|
|
|
|
* "git send-email" learned to prompt for passwords
|
|
interactively.
|
|
|
|
* "git send-email" learned an easier way to suppress CC
|
|
recipients.
|
|
|
|
* Various "git cvsimport", "git cvsexportcommit", "git svn" and
|
|
"git p4" improvements.
|
|
|
|
(internal)
|
|
|
|
* Duplicated code between git-help and git-instaweb that
|
|
launches user's preferred browser has been refactored.
|
|
|
|
* It is now easier to write test scripts that records known
|
|
breakages.
