Eleventh batch for 2.11
There still are a few topics that need to go in before -rc0 which would make the shape of the upcoming release clearer, but here is the final batch before it happens. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Git 2.11 Release Notes
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
Backward compatibility notes.
|
||||
|
||||
* An empty string used as a pathspec element has always meant
|
||||
'everything matches', but it is too easy to write a script that
|
||||
finds a path to remove in $path and run 'git rm "$paht"', which
|
||||
ends up removing everything. This release starts warning about the
|
||||
use of an empty string that is used for 'everything matches' and
|
||||
asks users to use a more explicit '.' for that instead.
|
||||
|
||||
The hope is that existing users will not mind this change, and
|
||||
eventually the warning can be turned into a hard error, upgrading
|
||||
the deprecation into removal of this (mis)feature.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* The historical argument order "git merge <msg> HEAD <commit>..."
|
||||
has been deprecated for quite some time, and will be removed in the
|
||||
next release (not this one).

|
||||
|
||||
* "git format-patch --cover-letter HEAD^" to format a single patch
|
||||
with a separate cover letter now numbers the output as [PATCH 0/1]
|
||||
and [PATCH 1/1] by default.

* "git mergetool" learned to honor "-O<orderfile>" to control the
|
||||
order of paths to present to the end user.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git diff/log --ws-error-highlight=<kind>" lacked the corresponding
|
||||
configuration variable to set it by default.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git ls-files" learned "--recurse-submodules" option that can be
|
||||
used to get a listing of tracked files across submodules (i.e. this
|
||||
only works with "--cached" option, not for listing untracked or
|
||||
ignored files). This would be a useful tool to sit on the upstream
|
||||
side of a pipe that is read with xargs to work on all working tree
|
||||
files from the top-level superproject.
|
||||
|
||||
* A new credential helper that talks via "libsecret" with
|
||||
implementations of XDG Secret Service API has been added to
|
||||
contrib/credential/.
|
||||
|
||||
* The GPG verification status shown in "%G?" pretty format specifier
|
||||
was not rich enough to differentiate a signature made by an expired
|
||||
key, a signature made by a revoked key, etc. New output letters
|
||||
have been assigned to express them.
|
||||
|
||||
* In addition to purely abbreviated commit object names, "gitweb"
|
||||
learned to turn "git describe" output (e.g. v2.9.3-599-g2376d31787)
|
||||
into clickable links in its output.
