Git v1.8.3 Release Notes |
||||
======================== |
||||
|
||||
Backward compatibility notes (for Git 2.0) |
||||
------------------------------------------ |
||||
|
||||
When "git push [$there]" does not say what to push, we have used the |
||||
traditional "matching" semantics so far (all your branches were sent |
||||
to the remote as long as there already are branches of the same name |
||||
over there). In Git 2.0, the default will change to the "simple" |
||||
semantics that pushes the current branch to the branch with the same |
||||
name, only when the current branch is set to integrate with that |
||||
remote branch. There is a user preference configuration variable |
||||
"push.default" to change this. If you are an old-timer who is used |
||||
to the "matching" semantics, you can set it to "matching" to keep the |
||||
traditional behaviour. If you want to live in the future early, |
||||
you can set it to "simple" today without waiting for Git 2.0. |
||||
|
||||
When "git add -u" and "git add -A", that does not specify what paths |
||||
to add on the command line is run from inside a subdirectory, these |
||||
commands will operate on the entire tree in Git 2.0 for consistency |
||||
with "git commit -a" and other commands. Because there will be no |
||||
mechanism to make "git add -u" behave as if "git add -u .", it is |
||||
important for those who are used to "git add -u" (without pathspec) |
||||
updating the index only for paths in the current subdirectory to start |
||||
training their fingers to explicitly say "git add -u ." when they mean |
||||
it before Git 2.0 comes. |
||||
|
||||

||||
