Git 2.7 Release Notes
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v2.6
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* "git remote" learned "get-url" subcommand to show the URL for a
|
|
given remote name used for fetching and pushing.
|
|
|
|
* There was no way to defeat a configured rebase.autostash variable
|
|
from the command line, as "git rebase --no-autostash" was missing.
|
|
|
|
* "git log --date=local" used to only show the normal (default)
|
|
format in the local timezone. The command learned to take 'local'
|
|
as an instruction to use the local timezone with other formats,
|
|
|
|
* The refs used during a "git bisect" session is now per-worktree so
|
|
that independent bisect sessions can be done in different worktrees
|
|
created with "git worktree add".
|
|
|
|
* Users who are too busy to type three extra keystrokes to ask for
|
|
"git stash show -p" can now set stash.showPatch configuration
|
|
varible to true to always see the actual patch, not just the list
|
|
of paths affected with feel for the extent of damage via diffstat.
|
|
|
|
* "quiltimport" allows to specify the series file by honoring the
|
|
$QUILT_SERIES environment and also --series command line option.
|
|
|
|
* The use of 'good/bad' in "git bisect" made it confusing to use when
|
|
hunting for a state change that is not a regression (e.g. bugfix).
|
|
The command learned 'old/new' and then allows the end user to
|
|
say e.g. "bisect start --term-old=fast --term=new=slow" to find a
|
|
performance regression.
|
|
|
|
* "git interpret-trailers" can now run outside of a Git repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
|
|
* The infrastructure to rewrite "git submodule" in C is being built
|
|
incrementally. Let's polish these early parts well enough and make
|
|
them graduate to 'next' and 'master', so that the more involved
|
|
follow-up can start cooking on a solid ground.
|
|
|
|
* Some features from "git tag -l" and "git branch -l" have been made
|
|
available to "git for-each-ref" so that eventually the unified
|
|
implementation can be shared across all three.
|
|
|
|
* Because "test_when_finished" in our test framework queues the
|
|
clean-up tasks to be done in a shell variable, it should not be
|
|
used inside a subshell. Add a mechanism to allow 'bash' to catch
|
|
such uses, and fix the ones that were found.
|
|
(merge 0968f12 jk/test-lint-forbid-when-finished-in-subshell later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The debugging infrastructure for pkt-line based communication has
|
|
been improved to mark the side-band communication specifically.
|
|
(merge fd89433 jk/async-pkt-line later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.6
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.6 in the maintenance
|
|
track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
|
|
notes for details).
|
|
|
|
* Very small number of options take a parameter that is optional
|
|
(which is not a great UI element as they can only appear at the end
|
|
of the command line). Add notice to documentation of each and
|
|
every one of them.
|
|
(merge 2b594bf mm/keyid-docs later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git blame --first-parent v1.0..v2.0" was not rejected but did not
|
|
limit the blame to commits on the first parent chain.
|
|
(merge 95a4fb0 jk/blame-first-parent later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git subtree" (in contrib/) now can take whitespaces in the
|
|
pathnames, not only in the in-tree pathname but the name of the
|
|
directory that the repository is in. (merge 5b6ab38
|
|
as/subtree-with-spaces later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The ssh transport, just like any other transport over the network,
|
|
did not clear GIT_* environment variables, but it is possible to
|
|
use SendEnv and AcceptEnv to leak them to the remote invocation of
|
|
Git, which is not a good idea at all. Explicitly clear them just
|
|
like we do for the local transport.
|
|
(merge a48b409 jk/connect-clear-env later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Correct "git p4 --detect-labels" so that it does not fail to create
|
|
a tag that points at a commit that is also being imported.
|
|
(merge b43702a ld/p4-import-labels later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The Makefile always runs the library archiver with hardcoded "crs"
|
|
options, which was inconvenient for exotic platforms on which
|
|
people want to use programs with totally different set of command
|
|
line options.
|
|
(merge ac179b4 jw/make-arflags-customizable later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Customization to change the behaviour with "make -w" and "make -s"
|
|
in our Makefile was broken when they were used together.
|
|
(merge ef49e05 jk/make-findstring-makeflags-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Code clean-up and minor fixes.
|
|
(merge 15ed07d jc/rerere later to maint).
