GIT v1.5.4 Release Notes
========================

* "git svnimport" was removed in favor of "git svn".

limitation of the latter. Use of post-update hook will be deprecated
in future versions of git, perhaps in v1.5.5.
* "git lost-found" was deprecated in favor of "git fsck"'s --lost-found
option, and will be removed in the future.
* "git peek-remote" is deprecated, as "git ls-remote" was written in C
and works for all transports, and will be removed in the future.
Updates since v1.5.3
--------------------
* Comes with much improved gitk.
* Comes with git-gui 0.9.0 with i18n.
* Comes with "git gui" 0.9.0 with i18n.
* git-lost-found was deprecated in favor of git-fsck's --lost-found
option.
* git-peek-remote is deprecated, as git-ls-remote was written in C and
works for all transports.
* git-cherry-pick made a misguided attempt to repeat the original
command line in the generated log message, when told to cherry-pick a
commit by naming a tag that points at it. It does not anymore.
* "progress display" from many commands are a lot nicer to the
eye. Transfer commands show throughput data.
* progress display from many commands are a lot nicer to the eye.
Transfer commands show throughput data.
* many commands that pay attention to per-directory .gitignore now do
so lazily, which makes the usual case go much faster.
* git-reset is now built-in and its output can be squelched with -q.
* git-send-email can optionally talk over ssmtp and use SMTP-AUTH.
* git-rebase learned --whitespace option.
* In git-rebase, when you decide not to replay a particular change
after the command stopped with a conflict, you can say "git-rebase
--skip" without first running "git reset --hard", as the command now
runs it for you.
* git-remote knows --mirror mode.
* git-merge can call the "post-merge" hook.
* git-pack-objects can optionally run deltification with multiple threads.
* git-archive can optionally substitute keywords in files marked with
export-subst attribute.
* git-for-each-ref learned %(xxxdate:<dateformat>) syntax to
show the various date fields in different formats.
* git-gc --auto is a low-impact way to automatically run a
variant of git-repack that does not lose unreferenced objects
(read: safer than the usual one) after the user accumulates
too many loose objects.
* You need to explicitly set clean.requireForce to "false" to allow
git-clean without -f to do any damage (lack of the configuration
variable used to mean "do not require", but we now use the safer
default).
* git-clean has been rewritten in C.
* git-push has been rewritten in C.
* git-push learned --dry-run option to show what would happen
if a push is run.
* git-push does not update a tracking ref on the pushing side when the
remote refused to update the corresponding ref.
* git-push learned --mirror option. This is to push the local refs
one-to-one to the remote, and deletes refs from the remote that do
not exist anymore in the repository on the pushing side.
* git-remote learned "rm" subcommand.
* git-rebase --interactive mode can now work on detached HEAD.
* git-cvsserver can be run via git-shell.
* git-am and git-rebase are far less verbose.
* git-pull learned to pass --[no-]ff option to underlying git-merge.
* Various Perforce importer updates.
* "git log" learned --early-output option to help interactive
GUI implementations.
* git-svnimport was removed in favor of git-svn.
* git-bisect learned "skip" action to mark untestable commits.
* git-format-patch learned "format.numbered" configuration variable
to automatically turn --numbered option on when more than one
commits are formatted.
* git-ls-files learned "--exclude-standard" to use the canned
set of exclude files.
* git-rebase now detaches head during its operation, so after a
successful "git rebase" operation, the reflog entry branch@{1}
for the current branch points at the commit before the rebase
was started.
* "git-tag -a -f existing" begins the editor session using the
existing annotation message.
* "git cvsexportcommit" learned -w option to specify and switch
to the CVS working directory.
* "git checkout" from a subdirectory learned to use "../path"
to allow checking out a path outside the current directory
without cd'ing up.
* "git send-email --dry-run" shows full headers for easier
diagnosis.
* "git merge-ours" is built-in.
* "git svn" learned "info" and "show-externals" subcommands.
* calling "git svn" from a subdirectory failed read settings from the
.git/config.
* "git svn" learned --use-log-author option, which picks up more
descriptive name from From: and Signed-off-by: lines in the commit
message.
* "git status" from a subdirectory now shows relative paths
which makes copy-and-pasting for git-checkout/git-add/git-rm
easier.
* "git checkout" from and to detached HEAD leaves a bit more
information in the reflog.
* Output processing for '--pretty=format:<user format>' has
been optimized.
* Output processing for '--pretty=format:<user format>' has been
optimized.
* Rename detection of diff family, while detecting exact matches, has
been greatly optimized.

found in the preimage, they were picked pretty much at random.

* "git remote" knows --mirror mode. This is to set up configuration to
push into a remote repository to store local branch heads to the same
branch on the remote side, and remove branch heads locally removed
from local repository at the same time. Suitable for pushing into a
back-up repository.

"git commit"; the parameters to -m options are formatted as separate
paragraphs.
