Git v1.7.4 Release Notes (draft)
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v1.7.3
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* The documentation Makefile now assumes by default asciidoc 8 and
|
|
docbook-xsl >= 1.73. If you have older versions, you can set
|
|
ASCIIDOC7 and ASCIIDOC_ROFF, respectively.
|
|
|
|
* The option parsers of various commands that create new branch (or
|
|
rename existing ones to a new name) were too loose and users were
|
|
allowed to call a branch with a name that begins with a dash by
|
|
creative abuse of their command line options, which only lead to
|
|
burn themselves. The name of a branch cannot begin with a dash
|
|
now.
|
|
|
|
* System-wide fallback default attributes can be stored in
|
|
/etc/gitattributes; core.attributesfile configuration variable can
|
|
be used to customize the path to this file.
|
|
|
|
* The thread structure generated by "git send-email" has changed
|
|
slightly. Setting the cover letter of the latest series as a reply
|
|
to the cover letter of the previous series with --in-reply-to used
|
|
to make the new cover letter and all the patches replies to the
|
|
cover letter of the previous series; this has been changed to make
|
|
the patches in the new series replies to the new cover letter.
|
|
|
|
* Bash completion script in contrib/ has been adjusted to be also
|
|
usable by zsh.
|
|
|
|
* "git blame" learned --show-email option to display the e-mail
|
|
addresses instead of the names of authors.
|
|
|
|
* "git daemon" can be built in MinGW environment.
|
|
|
|
* "git daemon" can take more than one --listen option to listen to
|
|
multiple addresses.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff" and "git grep" learned how functions and subroutines
|
|
in Fortran look like.
|
|
|
|
* "git mergetool" tells vim/gvim to show three-way diff by default
|
|
(use vimdiff2/gvimdiff2 as the tool name for old behaviour).
|
|
|
|
* "git log -G<pattern>" limits the output to commits whose change has
|
|
added or deleted lines that match the given pattern.
|
|
|
|
* "git read-tree" with no argument as a way to empty the index is
|
|
deprecated; we might want to remove it in the future. Users can
|
|
use the new --empty option to be more explicit instead.
|
|
|
|
* "git repack -f" does not spend cycles to recompress objects in the
|
|
non-delta representation anymore (use -F if you really mean it when
|
|
e.g. you changed the compression level).
|
|
|
|
* "git merge --log" used to limit the resulting merge log to 20
|
|
entries; this is now customizable by giving e.g. "--log=47".
|
|
|
|
* "git merge" may work better when all files were moved out of a
|
|
directory in one branch while a new file is created in place of that
|
|
directory in the other branch.
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase --autosquash" can use SHA-1 object names to name which
|
|
commit to fix up (e.g. "fixup! e83c5163").
|
|
|
|
* The default "recursive" merge strategy learned --rename-threshold
|
|
option to influence the rename detection, similar to the -M option
|
|
of "git diff". E.g. "git merge -Xrename-threshold=50% ..." to use
|
|
this.
|
|
|
|
* The "recursive" strategy also learned to ignore various whitespace
|
|
changes; the most notable is -Xignore-space-at-eol.
|
|
|
|
* "git send-email" learned "--to-cmd", similar to "--cc-cmd", to read
|
|
recipient list from a command output.
|
|
|
|
* "git send-email" learned to read and use "To:" from its input files.
|
|
|
|
* you can extend "git shell", which is often used on boxes that allow
|
|
git-only login over ssh as login shell, with custom set of
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
* "git submodule sync" updates metainformation for all submodules,
|
|
not just the ones that have been checked out.
|
|
|
|
* gitweb can use custom 'highlight' command with its configuration file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates.
|
|
|

Fixes since v1.7.3
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
All of the fixes in v1.7.3.X maintenance series are included in this
|
|
release, unless otherwise noted.
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout" removed an untracked file "foo" from the working
|
|
tree when switching to a branch that contains a tracked path
|
|
"foo/bar". Prevent this, just like the case where the conflicting
|
|
path were "foo" (c752e7f..7980872d).
|
|
|
|
* "git log --author=me --author=her" did not find commits written by
|
|
me or by her; instead it looked for commits written by me and by
|
|
her, which is impossible.
|
|
|
|
* "git merge" into an unborn branch removed an untracked file "foo"
|
|
from the working tree when merged branch had "foo" (2caf20c..172b642).
|
|
|
|
* "git push --progress" shows progress indicators now.
|
|
|
|
* "git repack" places its temporary packs under $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/pack
|
|
instead of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/ to avoid cross directory renames.
|
|
|
|
* "git submodule update --recursive --other-flags" passes flags down
|
|
to its subinvocations.
