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).
|
|
|
|
* "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.
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
* When "git push" fails to update any refs, the client side did not
|
|
report an error correctly to the end user.
|
|
(merge 5238cbf sp/smart-http-failure-to-push later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git push -q" was not sufficiently quiet.
|
|
(merge d336572 cb/push-quiet later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git log --first-parent $pathspec" did not stay on the first parent
|
|
chain and veered into side branch from which the whole change to the
|
|
specified paths came.
|
|
(merge 36ed191 jc/maint-log-first-parent-pathspec later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Subprocesses spawned from various git programs were often left running
|
|
to completion even when the top-level process was killed.
|
|
(merge 10c6cdd cb/maint-kill-subprocess-upon-signal later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git mergetool" now gives an empty file as the common base version
|
|
to the backend when dealing with the "both sides added, differently"
|
|
case.
|
|
(merge ec245ba da/maint-mergetool-twoway later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git submodule add $path" forgot to recompute the name to be stored
|
|
in .gitmodules when the submodule at $path was once added to the
|
|
superproject and already initialized.
|
|
(merge 1017c1a jl/submodule-re-add later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Using "git grep -l/-L" together with options -W or --break may not
|
|
make much sense as the output is to only count the number of hits
|
|
and there is no place for file breaks, but the latter options made
|
|
"-l/-L" to miscount the hits.
|
|
(merge 50dd0f2 tr/grep-l-with-decoration later to maint).
