Git v1.7.0 Release Notes
|
|
|
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notes on behaviour change
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git push" into a branch that is currently checked out (i.e. pointed by
|
|
|
|
|
HEAD in a repository that is not bare) is refused by default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Similarly, "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch $killed
|
|
|
|
|
in a remote repository $there, when $killed branch is the current
|
|
|
|
|
branch pointed at by its HEAD, will be refused by default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setting the configuration variables receive.denyCurrentBranch and
|
|
|
|
|
receive.denyDeleteCurrent to 'ignore' in the receiving repository
|
|
|
|
|
can be used to override these safety features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git send-email" does not make deep threads by default when sending a
|
|
|
|
|
patch series with more than two messages. All messages will be sent
|
|
|
|
|
as a reply to the first message, i.e. cover letter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It has been possible to configure send-email to send "shallow thread"
|
|
|
|
|
by setting sendemail.chainreplyto configuration variable to false. The
|
|
|
|
|
only thing this release does is to change the default when you haven't
|
|
|
|
|
configured that variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git status" is not "git commit --dry-run" anymore. This change does
|
|
|
|
|
not affect you if you run the command without pathspec.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git diff" traditionally treated various "ignore whitespace" options
|
|
|
|
|
only as a way to filter the patch output. "git diff --exit-code -b"
|
|
|
|
|
exited with non-zero status even if all changes were about changing the
|
|
|
|
|
ammount of whitespace and nothing else. and "git diff -b" showed the
|
|
|
|
|
"diff --git" header line for such a change without patch text.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this release, the "ignore whitespaces" options affect the semantics
|
|
|
|
|
of the diff operation. A change that does not affect anything but
|
|
|
|
|
whitespaces is reported with zero exit status when run with
|
|
|
|
|
--exit-code, and there is no "diff --git" header for such a change.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
(usability, bells and whistles)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git commit --date='<date>'" can be used to override the author date
|
|
|
|
|
just like "git commit --author='<name> <email>'" can be used to
|
|
|
|
|
override the author identity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git status" learned "-s(hort)" output format.
