GIT v1.5.3 Release Notes (draft)
|
||||
========================
|
||||
|
||||
Updates since v1.5.2
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* An initial interation of Porcelain level superproject support
|
||||
started to take shape.
|
||||
|
||||
* Thee are a handful pack-objects changes to help you cope better with
|
||||
repositories with pathologically large blobs in them.
|
||||
|
||||
* New commands and options.
|
||||
|
||||
- "git-submodule" command helps you manage the projects from
|
||||
the superproject that contain them.
|
||||
|
||||
- In addition to core.compression configuration option,
|
||||
core.loosecompression and pack.compression options can
|
||||
independently tweak zlib compression levels used for loose
|
||||
and packed objects.
|
||||
|
||||
- "git-ls-tree -l" shows size of blobs pointed at by the
|
||||
tree entries, similar to "/bin/ls -l".
|
||||
|
||||
- "git-rev-list" learned --regexp-ignore-case and
|
||||
--extended-regexp options to tweak its matching logic used
|
||||
for --grep fitering.
|
||||
|
||||
- "git-describe --contains" is a handier way to call more
|
||||
obscure command "git-name-rev --tags".
|
||||
|
||||
- "git gc --aggressive" tells the command to spend more cycles
|
||||
to optimize the repository harder.
|
||||
|
||||
- "git repack" can be told to split resulting packs to avoid
|
||||
exceeding limit specified with "--max-pack-size".
|
||||
|
||||
* Updated behavior of existing commands.
|
||||
|
||||
- "git push" pretends that you immediately fetched back from
|
||||
the remote by updating corresponding remote tracking
|
||||
branches if you have any.
|
||||
|
||||
- The diffstat given after a merge (or a pull) honors the
|
||||
color.diff configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
- "git-apply --whitespace=strip" removes blank lines added at
|
||||
the end of the file.
|
||||
|
||||
- fetch over git native protocols with -v shows connection
|
||||
status, and the IP address of the other end, to help
|
||||
diagnosing problems.
|
||||
|
||||
- core.legacyheaders is no more, although we still can read
|
||||
objects created in a new loose object format.
|
||||
|
||||
- "git-mailsplit" (hence "git-am") can read from Maildir
|
||||
formatted mailboxes.
|
||||
|
||||
- "git cvsserver" does not barf upon seeing "cvs login"
|
||||
request.
|
||||
|
||||
- "pack-objects" honors "delta" attribute set in
|
||||
.gitattributes. It does not attempt to deltify blobs that
|
||||
come from paths with delta attribute set to false.
|
||||
|
||||
- new-workdir script (in contrib) can now be used with a bare
|
||||
repository.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* Builds
|
||||
|
||||
-
|
||||
|
||||
* Performance Tweaks
|
||||
|
||||
- git-pack-objects avoids re-deltification cost by caching
|
||||
small enough delta results it creates while looking for the
|
||||
best delta candidates.
|
||||
|
||||
- diff-delta code that is used for packing has been improved
|
||||
to work better on big files.
|
||||
|
||||
- when there are more than one pack files in the repository,
|
||||
the runtime used to try finding an object always from the
|
||||
newest packfile; it now tries the same packfile as we found
|
||||
the object requested the last time, which exploits the
|
||||
locality of references.
|
||||
|
||||
Fixes since v1.5.2
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
All of the fixes in v1.5.2 maintenance series are included in
|
||||
this release, unless otherwise noted.
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfixes
|
||||
|
||||
- .... This has not
|
||||
been backported to 1.5.2.x series, as it is rather an
|
||||
intrusive change.
