GIT v1.5.2 Release Notes (draft) |
||||
======================== |
||||
|
||||
Updates since v1.5.1 |
||||
-------------------- |
||||
|
||||
* New commands and options. |
||||
|
||||
- "git bisect start" can optionally take a single bad commit and |
||||
zero or more good commits on the command line. |
||||
|
||||
* Updated behavior of existing commands. |
||||
|
||||
- "git diff --stat" shows size of preimage and postimage blobs |
||||
for binary contents. Earlier it only said "Bin". |
||||
|
||||
- "git lost-found" shows stuff that are unreachable except |
||||
from reflogs. |
||||
|
||||
- "git checkout branch^0" now detaches HEAD at the tip commit |
||||
on the named branch, instead of just switching to the |
||||
branch (use "git checkout branch" to switch to the branch, |
||||
as before). |
||||
|
||||
- "git bisect next" can be used after giving only a bad commit |
||||
without giving a good one (this starts bisection half-way to |
||||
the root commit). We used to refuse to operate without a |
||||
good and a bad commit. |
||||
|
||||
* Builds |
||||
|
||||
- git-p4import has never been installed; now there is an |
||||
installation option to do so. |
||||
|
||||
- gitk and git-gui can be configured out. |
||||
|
||||
- Generated documentation pages automatically get version |
||||
information from GIT_VERSION |
||||
|
||||
- Parallel build with "make -j" descending into subdirectory |
||||
was fixed. |
||||
|
||||
* Performance Tweaks |
||||
|
||||
- optimized "git-rev-list --bisect" (hence "git-bisect"). |
||||
|
||||
- optimized "git-add $path" in a large directory, most of |
||||
whose contents are ignored. |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Fixes since v1.5.1 |
||||
------------------ |
||||
|
||||
The following are all in v1.5.1.x series, unless otherwise noted. |
||||
|
||||
* Documentation updates |
||||
|
||||
* Bugfixes |
||||
|
||||
- Switching branches with "git checkout" refused to work when |
||||
a path changes from a file to a directory between the |
||||
current branch and the new branch, in order not to lose |
||||
possible local changes in the directory that is being turned |
||||
into a file with the switch. We now allow such a branch |
||||
switch after making sure that there is no locally modified |
||||
file nor un-ignored file in the directory. This has not |
||||
been backported to 1.5.1.x series, as it is rather an |
||||
intrusive change. |
||||
|
||||
