GIT v1.6.2 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v1.6.1
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
(subsystems)
|
|
|
|
* git-svn updates.
|
|
|
|
* gitweb updates, including a new patch view and RSS/Atom feed
|
|
improvements.
|
|
|
|
(portability)
|
|
|
|
(performance)
|
|
|
|
* pack-objects autodetects the number of CPUs available and uses threaded
|
|
version.
|
|
|
|
(usability, bells and whistles)
|
|
|
|
* automatic typo correction works on aliases as well
|
|
|
|
* @{-1} is a way to refer to the last branch you were on. This is
|
|
accepted not only where an object name is expected, but anywhere
|
|
a branch name is expected. E.g. "git branch --track mybranch @{-1}"
|
|
"git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name @{-1}".
|
|
|
|
* "git add -p" learned 'g'oto action to jump directly to a hunk.
|
|
|
|
* when "git am" stops upon a patch that does not apply, it shows the
|
|
title of the offending patch.
|
|
|
|
* "git am --directory=<dir>" and "git am --reject" passes these options
|
|
to underlying "git apply".
|
|
|
|
* "git clone" now makes its best effort when cloning from an empty
|
|
repository to set up configuration variables to refer to the remote
|
|
repository.
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout -" is a shorthand for "git checkout @{-1}".
|
|
|
|
* "git cherry" defaults to whatever the current branch is tracking (if
|
|
exists) when the <upstream> argument is not given.
|
|
|
|
* "git cvsserver" can be told not to add extra "via git-CVS emulator" to
|
|
the commit log message it serves via gitcvs.commitmsgannotation
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff" learned a new option --inter-hunk-context to coalesce close
|
|
hunks together and show context between them.
|
|
|
|
* The definition of what constitutes a word for "git diff --color-words"
|
|
can be customized via gitattributes, command line or a configuration.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff" learned --patience to run "patience diff" algorithm.
|
|
|
|
* Some combinations of -b/-w/--ignore-space-at-eol to "git diff" did
|
|
not work as expected.
|
|
|
|
* "git filter-branch" learned --prune-empty option that discards commits
|
|
that do not change the contents.
|
|
|
|
* "git grep -w" and "git grep" for fixed strings have been optimized.
|
|
|
|
* "git log" and friends include HEAD to the set of starting points
|
|
when --all is given. This makes a difference when you are not on
|
|
any branch.
|
|
|
|
* "git ls-tree" learned --full-tree option that shows the path in full
|
|
regardless of where in the work tree hierarchy the command was started.
|
|
|
|
* "git mergetool" learned -y(--no-prompt) option to disable prompting.
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase -i" can transplant a history down to root to elsewhere
|
|
with --root option.
|
|
|
|
* "git reset --merge" is a new mode that works similar to the way
|
|
"git checkout" switches branches, taking the local changes while
|
|
switching to another commit.
|
|
|
|
(internal)
|

|
Fixes since v1.6.1
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
All of the fixes in v1.6.1.X maintenance series are included in this
|
|
release, unless otherwise noted.
|
|
|
|
* "git-add sub/file" when sub is a submodule incorrectly added the path to
|
|
the superproject.
|
|
|
|
* git-bundle did not exclude annotated tags even when a range given from the
|
|
command line wanted to.
|
|
|
|
* branch switching and merges had a silly bug that did not validate
|
|
the correct directory when making sure an existing subdirectory is
|
|
clean.
