GIT v1.5.4 Release Notes |
|
|
|
|
======================== |

Deprecation notices |

|
|
|
|
|
|
* Next feature release of git (this change is scheduled for v1.5.5 but |
|
|
|
|
it could slip) will by default install dashed form of commands |
|
|
|
|
(e.g. "git-commit") outside of users' normal $PATH, and will install |
|
|
|
|
only selected commands ("git" itself, and "gitk") in $PATH. This |
|
|
|
|
implies: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Using dashed form of git commands (e.g. "git-commit") from the |
|
|
|
|
command line has been informally deprecated since early 2006, but |
|
|
|
|
now it officially is, and will be removed in the future. Use |
|
|
|
|
dashless form (e.g. "git commit") instead. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Using dashed from from your scripts, without first prepending the |
|
|
|
|
return value from "git --exec-path" to the scripts' PATH, has been |
|
|
|
|
informally deprecated since early 2006, but now it officially is. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Use of dashed form with "PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH; export |
|
|
|
|
PATH" early in your script is not deprecated with this change. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Users are strongly encouraged to adjust their habits and scripts now |
|
|
|
|
to prepare for this. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The post-receive hook was introduced in March 2007 to supersede |
|
|
|
|
post-update hook, primarily to overcome the command line length |
|
|
|
|
limitation of the latter. Use of post-update hook will be deprecated |
|
|
|
|
in future versions of git, perhaps in v1.5.5. |

* git-cherry-pick made a misguided attempt to repeat the original |

command line in the generated log message, when told to cherry-pick a |
|
|
|
|
commit by naming a tag that points at it. It does not anymore. |

* "progress display" from many commands are a lot nicer to the |

eye. Transfer commands show throughput data. |

so lazily, which makes the usual case go much faster. |
