GIT v1.6.3 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
With the next major release, "git push" into a branch that is
|
|
currently checked out will be refused by default. You can choose
|
|
what should happen upon such a push by setting the configuration
|
|
variable receive.denyCurrentBranch in the receiving repository.
|
|
|
|
To ease the transition plan, the receiving repository of such a
|
|
push running this release will issue a big warning when the
|
|
configuration variable is missing. Please refer to:
|
|
|
|
http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#non-bare
|
|
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/107758/focus=108007
|
|
|
|
for more details on the reason why this change is needed and the
|
|
transition plan.
|
|
|
|
For a similar reason, "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch
|
|
$killed in a remote repository $there, if $killed branch is the current
|
|
branch pointed at by its HEAD, gets a large warning. You can choose what
|
|
should happen upon such a push by setting the configuration variable
|
|
receive.denyDeleteCurrent in the receiving repository.

Updates since v1.6.2
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
(subsystems)
|
|
|
|
(performance)
|
|
|
|
(usability, bells and whistles)
|
|
|
|
* "--pretty=<style>" option to the log family of commands can now be
|
|
spelled as "--format=<style>". In addition, --format=%formatstring
|
|
is a short-hand for --pretty=tformat:%formatstring.
|
|
|
|
* "--oneline" is a synonym for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev=commit".
|
|
|
|
* If you realize that you botched the patch when you are editing hunks
|
|
with the 'edit' action in git-add -i/-p, you can abort the editor to
|
|
tell git not to apply it.
|
|
|
|
* git-archive learned --output=<file> option.
|
|
|
|
* git-bisect shows not just the number of remaining commits whose goodness
|
|
is unknown, but also shows the estimated number of remaining rounds.
|
|
|
|
* git-branch -r shows HEAD symref that points at a remote branch in
|
|
interest of each tracked remote repository.
|
|
|
|
* git-config learned -e option to open an editor to edit the config file
|
|
directly.
|
|
|
|
* git-format-patch can be told to use attachment with a new configuration,
|
|
format.attach.
|
|
|
|
* git-imap-send learned to work around Thunderbird's inability to easily
|
|
disable format=flowed with a new configuration, imap.preformattedHTML.
|
|
|
|
* git-rebase can be told to rebase the series even if your branch is a
|
|
descendant of the commit you are rebasing onto with --force-rebase
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
* git-send-email learned --confirm option to review the Cc: list before
|
|
sending the messages out.
|
|
|
|
(developers)
|
|
|
|
* Test scripts can be run under valgrind.

Fixes since v1.6.2
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
All of the fixes in v1.6.2.X maintenance series are included in this
|
|
release, unless otherwise noted.
|
|
|
|
Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to
|
|
v1.6.2.X series.
|
|
|
|
* .gitignore learned to handle backslash as a quoting mechanism for
|
|
comment introduction character "#" (backport by merging dd482ee if
|
|
needed).
|
|
|
|
* timestamp output in --date=relative mode used to display timestamps that
|
|
are long time ago in the default mode; it now uses "N years M months
|
|
ago", and "N years ago" (backport by picking 10edf37 if needed).
|
|
|
|
* git-add -i/-p now works with non-ASCII pathnames (backport by picking
|
|
8851f48 if needed).
|
|
|
|
* "git hash-object -w" did not read from the configuration file from the
|
|
correct .git directory (backport by merging 272459a if needed).
|
|
|
|
* git-send-email learned to correctly handle multiple Cc: addresses
|
|
(backport by merging afe756c if needed).
