|

------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
We'd need a maint release soon to push out the mkstemp() breakage but not
|
||||
tonight. There are a handful changes that are in 'master' and 'next' that
|
||||
need backport/backmerge before 1.5.6.1 happens.
|
||||
There are a few fixes on 'maint', in addition to futureproofing of "git
|
||||
shell" so that eventually we can update the ssh clients to ask for server
|
||||
side programs using "git upload-pack" syntax without a dash between "git"
|
||||
and the subcommand name.
|
||||
|
||||
* The 'maint' branch has these fixes since the last announcement.
|
||||
Many of the medimu size items for 1.6.0 have been merged to 'master'. The
|
||||
port to MinGW series will also be merged shortly.

GIT v1.6.0 Release Notes (draft)
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
User visible changes
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
With the default Makefile settings, most of the programs are now
|
||||
installed outside your $PATH, except for "git", "gitk", "git-gui" and
|
||||
some server side programs that need to be accessible for technical
|
||||
reasons. Invoking a git subcommand as "git-xyzzy" from the command
|
||||
line has been deprecated since early 2006 (and officially announced in
|
||||
1.5.4 release notes); use of them from your scripts after adding
|
||||
output from "git --exec-path" to the $PATH is still supported in this
|
||||
release, but users are again strongly encouraged to adjust their
|
||||
scripts to use "git xyzzy" form, as we will stop installing
|
||||
"git-xyzzy" hardlinks for built-in commands in later releases.
|
||||
|
||||
Source changes needed for porting to MinGW environment are now all in the
|
||||
main git.git codebase.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, packfiles created with this version uses delta-base-offset
|
||||
encoding introduced in v1.4.4. Pack idx files are using version 2 that
|
||||
allows larger packs and added robustness thanks to its CRC checking,
|
||||
introduced in v1.5.2.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Updates since v1.5.6
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
(subsystems)
|
||||
|
||||
* git-p4 in contrib learned "allowSubmit" configuration to control on
|
||||
which branch to allow "submit" subcommand.
|
||||
|
||||
(portability)
|
||||
|
||||
* Sample hook scripts shipped in templates/ are now suffixed with
|
||||
*.sample. We used to prevent them from triggering by default by
|
||||
relying on the fact that we install them as unexecutable, but on
|
||||
some filesystems this approach does not work. Instead of running
|
||||
"chmod +x" on them, the users who want to activate these samples
|
||||
as-is can now rename them dropping *.sample suffix.
|
||||
|
||||
* perl's in-place edit (-i) does not work well without backup files on Windows;
|
||||
some tests are rewritten to cope with this.
|
||||
|
||||
(documentation)
|
||||
|
||||
* Updated howto/update-hook-example
|
||||
|
||||
* Got rid of usage of "git-foo" from the tutorial.
|
||||
|
||||
* Disambiguating "--" between revs and paths is finally documented.
|
||||
|
||||
(performance, robustness, sanity etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
* even more documentation pages are now accessible via "man" and "git help".
|
||||
|
||||
* reduced excessive inlining to shrink size of the "git" binary.
|
||||
|
||||
* verify-pack checks the object CRC when using version 2 idx files.
|
||||
|
||||
* When an object is corrupt in a pack, the object became unusable even
|
||||
when the same object is available in a loose form, We now try harder to
|
||||
fall back to these redundant objects when able. In particular, "git
|
||||
repack -a -f" can be used to fix such a corruption as long as necessary
|
||||
objects are available.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-clone does not create refs in loose form anymore (it behaves as
|
||||
if you immediately ran git-pack-refs after cloning). This will help
|
||||
repositories with insanely large number of refs.
|
||||
|
||||
* core.fsyncobjectfiles configuration can be used to ensure that the loose
|
||||
objects created will be fsync'ed (this is only useful on filesystems
|
||||
that does not order data writes properly).
|
||||
|
||||
* "git commit-tree" plumbing can make Octopus with more than 16 parents.
|
||||
"git commit" has been capable of this for quite some time.
|
||||
|
||||
(usability, bells and whistles)
|
||||
|
||||
* git-apply can handle a patch that touches the same path more than once
|
||||
much better than before.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-apply can be told not to trust the line counts recorded in the input
|
||||
patch but recount, with the new --recount option.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-archive can be told to omit certain paths from its output using
|
||||
export-ignore attributes.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-clone can clone from a remote whose URL would be rewritten by
|
||||
configuration stored in $HOME/.gitconfig now.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-diff --check now checks leftover merge conflict markers.
|
||||
|
||||
* When remote side used to have branch 'foo' and git-fetch finds that now
|
||||
it has branch 'foo/bar', it refuses to lose the existing remote tracking
|
||||
branch and its reflog. The error message has been improved to suggest
|
||||
pruning the remote if the user wants to proceed and get the latest set
|
||||
of branches from the remote, including such 'foo/bar'.
|
||||
|
||||
* fast-export learned to export and import marks file; this can be used to
|
||||
interface with fast-import incrementally.
|
||||
|
||||
* Original SHA-1 value for "update-ref -d" is optional now.
|
||||
|
||||
* git-send-mail can talk not just over SSL but over TLS now.
|
||||
|
||||
* You can tell "git status -u" to even more aggressively omit checking
|
||||
untracked files with --untracked-files=no.
|
||||
|
||||
* Error codes from gitweb are made more descriptive where possible, rather
|
||||
than "403 forbidden" as we used to issue everywhere.
|
||||
|
||||

Fixes since v1.5.6
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
All of the fixes in v1.5.6 maintenance series are included in
|
||||
this release, unless otherwise noted.
|
||||
|
||||
* diff -c/--cc showed unnecessary "deletion" lines at the context
|
||||
boundary (needs backmerge to maint).
|
||||
|
||||
* "git-clone <src> <dst>" did not create leading directories for <dst>
|
||||
like the scripted version used to do (needs backport to maint).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* The 'maint' branch has these fixes since v1.5.6.1.
