GIT v1.5.4 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v1.5.3
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* Comes with much improved gitk.
|
|
|
|
* "progress display" from many commands are a lot nicer to the
|
|
eye. Transfer commands show throughput data.
|
|
|
|
* git-reset is now built-in and its output can be squelched with -q.
|
|
|
|
* git-send-email can optionally talk over ssmtp and use SMTP-AUTH.
|
|
|
|
* git-rebase learned --whitespace option.
|
|
|
|
* git-remote knows --mirror mode.
|
|
|
|
* git-merge can call the "post-merge" hook.
|
|
|
|
* git-pack-objects can optionally run deltification with multiple threads.
|
|
|
|
* git-archive can optionally substitute keywords in files marked with
|
|
export-subst attribute.
|
|
|
|
* git-for-each-ref learned %(xxxdate:<dateformat>) syntax to
|
|
show the various date fields in different formats.
|
|
|
|
* git-gc --auto is a low-impact way to automatically run a
|
|
variant of git-repack that does not lose unreferenced objects
|
|
(read: safer than the usual one) after the user accumulates
|
|
too many loose objects.
|
|
|
|
* You need to explicitly set clean.requireForce to "false" to allow
|
|
git-clean to do any damage (lack of the configuration variable
|
|
used to mean "do not require", but we now use the safer default).
|
|
|
|
* git-push has been rewritten in C.
|
|
|
|
* git-push learned --dry-run option to show what would happen
|
|
if a push is run.
|
|
|
|
* git-remote learned "rm" subcommand.
|
|
|
|
* git-rebase --interactive mode can now work on detached HEAD.
|
|
|
|
* git-cvsserver can be run via git-shell.
|
|
|
|
* git-am and git-rebase are far less verbose.
|
|
|
|
* git-pull learned to pass --[no-]ff option to underlying git-merge.
|
|
|
|
* Various Perforce importer updates.
|
|
|
|
* git-lost-found was deprecated in favor of git-fsck's --lost-found
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
* "git log" learned --early-output option to help interactive
|
|
GUI implementations.
|
|
|
|
* git-svnimport was removed in favor of git-svn.
|
|
|
|
* git-bisect learned "skip" action to mark untestable commits.
|
|
|
|
* git-format-patch learned "format.numbered" configuration variable
|
|
to automatically turn --numbered option on when more than one
|
|
commits are formatted.
|
|
|
|
* git-ls-files learned "--exclude-standard" to use the canned
|
|
set of exclude files.
|
|
|
|
* git-rebase now detaches head during its operation, so after a
|
|
successful "git rebase" operation, the reflog entry branch@{1}
|
|
for the current branch points at the commit before the rebase
|
|
was started.
|
|
|
|
* "git-tag -a -f existing" begins the editor session using the
|
|
existing annotation message.
|
|
|
|
* "git cvsexportcommit" learned -w option to specify and switch
|
|
to the CVS working directory.
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout" from a subdirectory learned to use "../path"
|
|
to allow checking out a path outside the current directory
|
|
without cd'ing up.
|
|
|
|
* Output processing for '--pretty=format:<user format>' has
|
|
been optimized.
|
|
|
|
* Rename detection diff family, while detecting exact matches,
|
|
has been greatly optimized.
|
|
|
|
* Example update and post-receive hooks have been improved.
|
|
|
|
* In addition there are quite a few internal clean-ups. Notably
|
|
|
|
- many fork/exec have been replaced with run-command API,
|
|
brought from the msysgit effort.
|
|
|
|
- introduction and more use of the option parser API.
|
|
|
|
- enhancement and more use of the strbuf API.
|

Fixes since v1.5.3
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
All of the fixes in v1.5.3 maintenance series are included in
|
|
this release, unless otherwise noted.
|
|
|
|
* git-svn talking with the SVN over http will correctly quote branch
|
|
and project names.
|
|
|
|
* "git rev-list --objects A..B" choked when the lower boundary
|
|
of the range involved a subproject. This fix is also queued
|
|
for 'maint' (but not in there yet).
