Git v1.7.3 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v1.7.2
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* git-gui, now at version 0.13.0, got various updates and a new
|
|
maintainer, Pat Thoyts.
|
|
|
|
* Gitweb allows its configuration to change per each request; it used to
|
|
read the configuration once upon startup.
|
|
|
|
* When git finds a corrupt object, it now reports the file that contains
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout -B <it>" is a shorter way to say "git branch -f <it>"
|
|
followed by "git checkout <it>".
|
|
|
|
* When "git checkout" or "git merge" refuse to proceed in order to
|
|
protect local modification to your working tree, they used to stop
|
|
after showing just one path that might be lost. They now show all,
|
|
in a format that is easier to read.
|
|
|
|
* "git clean" learned "-e" ("--exclude") option.
|
|
|
|
* Hunk headers produced for C# files by "git diff" and friends show more
|
|
relevant context than before.
|
|
|
|
* diff.ignoresubmodules configuration variable can be used to squelch the
|
|
differences in submodules reported when running commands (e.g. "diff",
|
|
"status", etc.) at the superproject level.
|
|
|
|
* http.useragent configuration can be used to lie who you are to your
|
|
restrictive firewall.
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase --strategy <s>" learned "-X" option to pass extra options
|
|
that are understood by the chosen merge strategy.
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase -i" learned "exec" that you can insert into the insn sheet
|
|
to run a command between its steps.
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase" between branches that have many binary changes that do
|
|
not conflict should be faster.
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase -i" peeks into rebase.autosquash configuration and acts as
|
|
if you gave --autosquash from the command line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates.

Fixes since v1.7.2
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
All of the fixes in v1.7.2.X maintenance series are included in this
|
|
release, unless otherwise noted.
|
|
|
|
* "git merge -s recursive" (which is the default) did not handle cases
|
|
where a directory becomes a file (or vice versa) very well.
|
|
|
|
* "git fetch" and friends were accidentally broken for url with "+" in
|
|
its path, e.g. "git://git.gnome.org/gtk+".
|
|
|
|
* "git fetch $url" (i.e. without refspecs) was broken for quite some
|
|
time, if the current branch happen to be tracking some remote.
|
|
|
|
* "git ls-tree dir dirgarbage", when "dir" was a directory,
|
|
incorrectly recursed into "dir".
|
|
|
|
* "git note remove" created unnecessary extra commit when named object
|
|
did not have any note to begin with.
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase" did not work well if you had diff.noprefix configured.
|
|
|
|
* "git -c foo=bar subcmd" did not work well for subcmd that is not
|
|
implemented as a built-in command.
