GIT v1.5.1 Release Notes
|
|
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Updates since v1.5.0
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Deprecated commands and options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- git-diff-stages and git-resolve have been removed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* New commands and options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "git log" and friends take --reverse. This makes output
|
|
|
|
that typically goes reverse order in chronological order.
|
|
|
|
"git shortlog" usually lists commits in chronological order,
|
|
|
|
but with "--reverse", they are shown in reverse
|
|
|
|
chronological order.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "git diff" learned --ignore-space-at-eol. This is a weaker
|
|
|
|
form of --ignore-space-change.
|
|
|
|
|
2007-02-28 23:06:38 +00:00
|
|
|
- "git diff --no-index pathA pathB" can be used as diff
|
|
|
|
replacement with git specific enhancements.
|
|
|
|
|
2007-02-17 23:50:36 +00:00
|
|
|
- "git name-rev" learned --refs=<pattern>, to limit the tags
|
|
|
|
used for naming the given revisions only to the ones
|
|
|
|
matching the given pattern.
|
|
|
|
|
2007-02-28 23:06:38 +00:00
|
|
|
- "git remote update" is to run "git fetch" for defined remotes
|
|
|
|
to update tracking branches.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "git cvsimport" can now take '-d' to talk with a CVS
|
|
|
|
repository different from what are recorded in CVS/Root
|
|
|
|
(overriding it with environment CVSROOT does not work).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "git bundle" can help sneaker-netting your changes between
|
|
|
|
repositories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* Updated behaviour of existing commands.
|
|
|
|
|
2007-02-28 23:06:38 +00:00
|
|
|
- git-svn got almost a rewrite.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- core.autocrlf configuration, when set to 'true', makes git
|
|
|
|
to convert CRLF at the end of lines in text files to LF when
|
|
|
|
reading from the filesystem, and convert in reverse when
|
|
|
|
writing to the filesystem. The variable can be set to
|
|
|
|
'input', in which case the conversion happens only while
|
|
|
|
reading from the filesystem but files are written out with
|
|
|
|
LF at the end of lines. Currently, which paths to consider
|
|
|
|
'text' (i.e. be subjected to the autocrlf mechanism) is
|
|
|
|
decided purely based on the contents, but the plan is to
|
|
|
|
allow users to explicitly override this heuristics based on
|
|
|
|
paths.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The behaviour of 'git-apply', when run in a subdirectory,
|
|
|
|
without --index nor --cached were inconsistent with that of
|
|
|
|
the command with these options. This was fixed to match the
|
|
|
|
behaviour with --index. A patch that is meant to be applied
|
|
|
|
with -p1 from the toplevel of the project tree can be
|
|
|
|
applied with any custom -p<n> option. A patch that is not
|
|
|
|
relative to the toplevel needs to be applied with -p<n>
|
|
|
|
option with or without --index (or --cached).
|
|
|
|
|
2007-02-17 23:50:36 +00:00
|
|
|
- "git diff" outputs a trailing HT when pathnames have embedded
|
|
|
|
SP on +++/--- header lines, in order to help "GNU patch" to
|
|
|
|
parse its output. "git apply" was already updated to accept
|
|
|
|
this modified output format since ce74618d (Sep 22, 2006).
|
2007-02-14 08:45:24 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2007-02-28 23:06:38 +00:00
|
|
|
- "git cvsserver" runs hooks/update and honors its exit status.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "git cvsserver" can be told to send everything with -kb.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "git diff --check" also honors the --color output option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "git name-rev" used to stress the fact that a ref is a tag too
|
|
|
|
much, by saying something like "v1.2.3^0~22". It now says
|
|
|
|
"v1.2.3~22" in such a case (it still says "v1.2.3^0" if it does
|
|
|
|
not talk about an ancestor of the commit that is tagged, which
|
|
|
|
makes sense).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "git rev-list --boundary" now shows boundary markers for the
|
|
|
|
commits omitted by --max-age and --max-count condition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The configuration mechanism now reads $(prefix)/etc/gitconfig.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "git apply --verbose" shows what preimage lines were wanted
|
|
|
|
when it couldn't find them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "git status" in a read-only repository got a bit saner.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* Hooks
|
|
|
|
|
2007-02-17 23:50:36 +00:00
|
|
|
- The sample update hook to show how to send out notification
|
|
|
|
e-mail was updated to show only new commits that appeared in
|
|
|
|
the repository. Earlier, it showed new commits that appeared
|
|
|
|
on the branch.
