Updates since v1.7.1

--------------------
|

|

* core.eol configuration and eol attribute are the new way to control
|
||||
the end of line conventions for files in the working tree;
|
||||
core.autocrlf overrides it, keeping the traditional behaviour by
|
||||
default.
|
||||
|
||||
* The whitespace rules used in "git apply --whitespace" and "git diff"
|
||||
gained a new member in the family (tab-in-indent) to help projects with
|
||||
policy to indent only with spaces.

filesystem boundary.

|

* Usage help messages generated by parse-options library (i.e. most
|
||||
of the Porcelain commands) are sent to the standard output now.
|
||||
|
||||
* ':/<string>' notation to look for a commit now takes regular expression
|
||||
and it is not anchored at the beginning of the commit log message
|
||||
anymore (this is a backward incompatible change).
|
||||
|
||||
* "git" wrapper learned "-c name=value" option to override configuration
|
||||
variable from the command line.
|
||||
|
||||
* Improved portability for various platforms including older SunOS,
|
||||
HP-UX 10/11, AIX, Tru64, etc. and platforms with Python 2.4.
|
||||
|
||||
* The message from "git am -3" has been improved when conflict
|
||||
resolution ended up making the patch a no-op.

A..B"); this does not have nicer sequencing control "rebase [-i]" has,

* We didn't URL decode "file:///path/to/repo" correctly when path/to/repo
|

had percent-encoded characters (638794c, 9d2e942).
|

|

* "git commit" did not honor GIT_REFLOG_ACTION environment variable, resulting
|

reflog messages for cherry-pick and revert actions to be recorded as "commit".
|
||||
|

* "git clone/fetch/pull" issued an incorrect error message when a ref and
|
||||
a symref that points to the ref were updated at the same time. This
|
||||
obviously would update them to the same value, and should not result in
|

an error condition (7223dcaf).

an error condition (0e71bc3).

* "git clone" did not configure remote.origin.url correctly for bare
|

clones (df61c889).
|

|

* "git diff" inside a tree with many pathnames that have certain

characters has become very slow in 1.7.0 by mistake (will merge

e53e6b443 to 'maint').

* "git diff --graph" works better with "--color-words" and other options

(81fa024..4297c0a).
|

|

* "git diff" could show ambiguous abbreviation of blob object names on
|
||||
its "index" line (3e5a188).
|
||||
|
||||
* "git merge --log" used to replace the custom message given by "-m" with
|

the shortlog, instead of appending to it (tc/merge-m-log).

|

* "git reset --hard" started from a wrong directory and a working tree in

a nonstandard location is in use got confused (560fb6a1).
