should happen upon such a push by setting the configuration variable

receive.denyDeleteCurrent in the receiving repository.

When the user does not tell "git push" what to push, it has always
|
||||
pushed matching refs. For some people it is unexpected, and a new
|
||||
configuration variable push.default has been introduced to allow
|
||||
changing a different default behaviour. To advertise the new feature,
|
||||
a big warning is issued if this is not configured and a git push without
|
||||
arguments is attempted.

* We feed iconv with "UTF-8" instead of "utf8"; the former is

understood more widely.

understood more widely. Similarly updated test scripts to use
|

encoding names more widely understood (e.g. use "ISO8850-1" instead

of "ISO-8859-1").
|

|

* Various portability fixes/workarounds for different vintages of
|

SunOS, IRIX, and Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
* Git-over-ssh transport on Windows supports PuTTY plink and TortoisePlink.

|

(performance)
|
||||
|
||||
* Many repeated use of lstat() are optimized out in "checkout" codepath.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-status (and underlying git-diff-index --cached) are optimized
|
||||
to take advantage of cache-tree information in the index.
|
||||
|
||||
(usability, bells and whistles)
|
||||
|
||||
* "git add --edit" lets users edit the whole patch text to fine-tune what
|
||||
is added to the index.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git am" accepts StGIT series file as its input.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git bisect skip" skips to a more randomly chosen place in the hope
|
||||
to avoid testing a commit that is too close to a commit that is
|

already known to be untestable.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git cvsexportcommit" learned -k option to stop CVS keywords expansion
|
||||
|
||||
* "git grep" learned -p option to show the location of the match using the
|
||||
same context hunk marker "git diff" uses.
|
||||
|
||||
* https transport can optionally be told that the used client
|
||||
certificate is password protected, in which case it asks the
|
||||
password only once.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git imap-send" is IPv6 aware.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git log --graph" draws graphs more compactly by using horizonal lines
|
||||
when able.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git log --decorate" shows shorter refnames by stripping well-known
|
||||
refs/* prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git push $name" honors remote.$name.pushurl if present before
|
||||
using remote.$name.url. In other words, the URL used for fetching
|

and pushing can be different.
|
||||
|

* "git send-email" understands quoted aliases in .mailrc files (might

have to be backported to 1.6.3.X).
