GIT v1.6.3 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
With the next major release, "git push" into a branch that is
|
|
currently checked out will be refused by default. You can choose
|
|
what should happen upon such a push by setting the configuration
|
|
variable receive.denyCurrentBranch in the receiving repository.
|
|
|
|
To ease the transition plan, the receiving repository of such a
|
|
push running this release will issue a big warning when the
|
|
configuration variable is missing. Please refer to:
|
|
|
|
http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#non-bare
|
|
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/107758/focus=108007
|
|
|
|
for more details on the reason why this change is needed and the
|
|
transition plan.
|
|
|
|
For a similar reason, "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch
|
|
$killed in a remote repository $there, if $killed branch is the current
|
|
branch pointed at by its HEAD, gets a large warning. You can choose what
|
|
should happen upon such a push by setting the configuration variable
|
|
receive.denyDeleteCurrent in the receiving repository.

Updates since v1.6.2
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
(subsystems)
|
|
|
|
(performance)
|
|
|
|
* many uses of lstat(2) in the codepath for "git checkout" have been
|
|
optimized out.
|
|
|
|
(usability, bells and whistles)
|
|
|
|
* rsync:/path/to/repo can be used to run git over rsync for local
|
|
repositories. It may not be useful in practice; meant primarily for
|
|
testing.
|
|
|
|
* (msysgit) progress output that is sent over the sideband protocol can
|
|
be handled appropriately in Windows console.
|
|
|
|
* "--pretty=<style>" option to the log family of commands can now be
|
|
spelled as "--format=<style>". In addition, --format=%formatstring
|
|
is a short-hand for --pretty=tformat:%formatstring.
|
|
|
|
* "--oneline" is a synonym for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev=commit".
|
|
|
|
* If you realize that you botched the patch when you are editing hunks
|
|
with the 'edit' action in git-add -i/-p, you can abort the editor to
|
|
tell git not to apply it.
|
|
|
|
* git-archive learned --output=<file> option.
|
|
|
|
* git-bisect shows not just the number of remaining commits whose goodness
|
|
is unknown, but also shows the estimated number of remaining rounds.
|
|
|
|
* You can give --date=<format> option to git-blame.
|
|
|
|
* git-branch -r shows HEAD symref that points at a remote branch in
|
|
interest of each tracked remote repository.
|
|
|
|
* git-config learned -e option to open an editor to edit the config file
|
|
directly.
|
|
|
|
* git-clone runs post-checkout hook when run without --no-checkout.
|
|
|
|
* git-format-patch can be told to use attachment with a new configuration,
|
|
format.attach.
|
|
|
|
* git-format-patch can be told to produce deep or shallow message threads.
|
|
|
|
* git-grep learned to highlight the found substrings in color.
|
|
|
|
* git-imap-send learned to work around Thunderbird's inability to easily
|
|
disable format=flowed with a new configuration, imap.preformattedHTML.
|
|
|
|
* git-rebase can be told to rebase the series even if your branch is a
|
|
descendant of the commit you are rebasing onto with --force-rebase
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
* git-rebase can be told to report diffstat with the --stat option.
|
|
|
|
* Output from git-remote command has been vastly improved.
|
|
|
|
* git-send-email learned --confirm option to review the Cc: list before
|
|
sending the messages out.
|
|
|
|
(developers)
|
|
|
|
* Test scripts can be run under valgrind.
|
|
|
|
* Makefile learned 'coverage' option to run the test suites with
|
|
coverage tracking enabled.

Fixes since v1.6.2
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
All of the fixes in v1.6.2.X maintenance series are included in this
|
|
release, unless otherwise noted.
|
|
|
|
Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to
|
|
v1.6.2.X series.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff --pickaxe-regexp" did not count overlapping matches
|
|
correctly (backport by cherry-picking 50fd699).
|
|
|
|
* "git-fetch" in a repository that was not cloned from anywhere said
|
|
it cannot find 'origin', which was hard to understand for new people.
|
|
|
|
* git-gc spent excessive amount of time to decide if an object appears
|
|
in a locally existing pack (if needed, backport by merging 69e020a).
|
|
|
|
* "git-ls-files --deleted" did not work well with GIT_DIR&GIT_WORK_TREE
|
|
(backport by cherry-picking 8ad3dae).
|
|
|
|
* "git-read-tree A B C..." without -m option has been broken for a long time
|
|
(backport by merging jc/maint-1.6.0-read-tree-overlay)
|
|
|
|
* 'git-submodule add' did not tolerate extra slashes and ./ in the
|
|
path it accepted from the command line; it now is more lenient
|
|
(if needed, backport by merging db75ada).
|
|
|
|
* git-send-email ignored --in-reply-to when --no-thread was given
|
|
(backport by merging tr/maint-1.6.0-send-email-irt)
