GIT v1.6.6 Release Notes |
|
======================== |
|
|
|
In this release, "git fsck" defaults to "git fsck --full" and checks |
|
packfiles, and because of this it will take much longer to complete |
|
than before. If you prefer a quicker check only on loose objects (the |
|
old default), you can say "git fsck --no-full". This has been |
|
supported by 1.5.4 and newer versions of git, so it is safe to write |
|
it in your script even if you use slightly older git on some of your |
|
machines. |
|
|
|
In git 1.7.0, which is planned to be the release after 1.6.6, "git |
|
push" into a branch that is currently checked out will be refused by |
|
default. |
|
|
|
You can choose what should happen upon such a push by setting the |
|
configuration variable receive.denyCurrentBranch in the receiving |
|
repository. |
|
|
|
Also, "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. |
|
|
|
You can choose what should happen upon such a push by setting the |
|
configuration variable receive.denyDeleteCurrent in the receiving |
|
repository. |
|
|
|
To ease the transition plan, the receiving repository of such a |
|
push running this release will issue a big warning when the |
|
configuration variable is missing. Please refer to: |

Updates since v1.6.5 |

-------------------- |
|
|
|
(subsystems) |
|
|
|
(portability) |
|
|
|
(performance) |
|
|
|
(usability, bells and whistles) |
|
|
|
* The object replace mechanism can be bypassed with --no-replace-objects |
|
global option given to the "git" program. |
|
|
|
* "git fsck" by default checks the packfiles (i.e. "--full" is the |
|
default); you can turn it off with "git fsck --no-full". |
|
|
|
* import-tars contributed fast-import frontend learned more types of |
|
compressed tarballs. |
|
|
|
* "git instaweb" knows how to talk with mod_cgid to apache2. |
|
|
|
* "git log --decorate" shows the location of HEAD as well. |
|
|
|
* "git rebase -i" learned "reword" that acts like "edit" but immediately |
|
starts an editor to tweak the log message without returning control to |
|
the shell, which is done by "edit" to give an opportunity to tweak the |
|
contents. |
|
|
|
* Author names shown in gitweb output are links to search commits by the |
|
author. |

Fixes since v1.6.5 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
All of the fixes in v1.6.5.X maintenance series are included in this |
|
release, unless otherwise noted. |
|
|
|
* "git apply" and "git diff" (including patch output from "git log -p") |
|
now flags trailing blank lines as whitespace errors correctly (only |
|
"apply --whitespace=fix" stripped them but "apply --whitespace=warn" |
|
did not even warn). |
|
|
|
* Two whitespace error classes, 'blank-at-eof' and 'blank-at-eol', have |
|
been introduced (settable by core.whitespace configuration variable and |
|
whitespace attribute). The 'trailing-space' whitespace error class has |
|
become a short-hand to cover both of these and there is no behaviour |
|
change for existing set-ups. |
|
|
|
* "git cvsimport" did not work well when it is fed filenames from the |
|
command line and is not started at the top of the work tree. We should |
|
backport this by merging f6fdbb6 (cvsimport: fix relative argument |
|
filenames, 2009-10-19). |
|
|
|
* The way gitweb escapes its CGI parameters were broken especially when |
|
the parameter was a UTF-8 string. We may want to backport this to |
|
1.6.5.X series by merging 452e225 (gitweb: fix esc_param, 2009-10-13). |
|
|
|
* gitweb used to show 'patch' link for merge commits but the output from |
|
it is not usable to feed "git am" with. We may want to backport this |
|
to 1.6.5.X series by merging 1655c98 (gitweb: Do not show 'patch' link |
|
for merge commits, 2009-10-09). |
