Git v1.7.4 Release Notes (draft) |
|
================================ |
|
|
|
Updates since v1.7.3 |
|
-------------------- |
|
|
|
* The option parsers of various commands that create new branch (or |
|
rename existing ones to a new name) were too loose and users were |
|
allowed to call a branch with a name that begins with a dash by |
|
creative abuse of their command line options, which only lead to |
|
burn themselves. The name of a branch cannot begin with a dash |
|
now. |
|
|
|
* System-wide fallback default attributes can be stored in |
|
/etc/gitattributes; core.attributesfile configuration variable can |
|
be used to customize the path to this file. |
|
|
|
* Bash completion script in contrib/ has been adjusted to be also |
|
usable by zsh. |
|
|
|
* "git daemon" can take more than one --listen option to listen to |
|
multiple addresses. |
|
|
|
* "git diff" and "git grep" learned how functions and subroutines |
|
in Fortran look like. |
|
|
|
* "git mergetool" tells vim/gvim to show three-way diff by default |
|
(use vimdiff2/gvimdiff2 as the tool name for old behaviour). |
|
|
|
* "git log -G<pattern>" limits the output to commits whose change has |
|
added or deleted lines that match the given pattern. |
|
|
|
* "git read-tree" with no argument as a way to empty the index is |
|
deprecated; we might want to remove it in the future. Users can |
|
use the new --empty option to be more explicit instead. |
|
|
|
* "git repack -f" does not spend cycles to recompress objects in the |
|
non-delta representation anymore (use -F if you really mean it when |
|
e.g. you changed the compression level). |
|
|
|
* "git merge --log" used to limit the resulting merge log to 20 |
|
entries; this is now customizable by giving e.g. "--log=47". |
|
|
|
* The default "recursive" merge strategy learned --rename-threshold |
|
option to influence the rename detection, similar to the -M option |
|
of "git diff". E.g. "git merge -Xrename-threshold=50% ..." to use |
|
this. |
|
|
|
* The "recursive" strategy also learned to ignore various whitespace |
|
changes; the most notable is -Xignore-space-at-eol. |
|
|
|
* "git send-email" learned "--to-cmd", similar to "--cc-cmd", to read |
|
recipient list from a command output. |
|
|
|
* "git send-email" learned to read and use "To:" from its input files. |
|
|
|
* you can extend "git shell", which is often used on boxes that allow |
|
git-only login over ssh as login shell, with custom set of |
|
commands. |
|
|
|
* "git submodule sync" updates metainformation for all submodules, |
|
not just the ones that have been checked out. |
|
|
|
* gitweb can use custom 'highlight' command with its configuration file. |
|
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates. |

Fixes since v1.7.3 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
All of the fixes in v1.7.3.X maintenance series are included in this |
|
release, unless otherwise noted. |
|
|
|
* "diff" and friends incorrectly applied textconv filters to symlinks |
|
(d391c0ff). |
|
|
|
* "git apply" segfaulted when a bogus input is fed to it (24305cd70). |
|
|
|
* Running "git cherry-pick --ff" on a root commit segfaulted (6355e50). |
|
|
|
* "git log --author=me --author=her" did not find commits written by |
|
me or by her; instead it looked for commits written by me and by |
|
her, which is impossible. |
|
|
|
* "git merge-file" can be called from within a subdirectory now |
|
(55846b9a). |
|
|
|
* "git push --progress" shows progress indicators now. |
|
|
|
* "git repack" places its temporary packs under $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/pack |
|
instead of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/ to avoid cross directory renames. |
|
|
|
* "git rev-list --format="...%x00..." incorrectly chopped its output |
|
at NUL (9130ac9fe). |
|
|
|
* "git submodule update --recursive --other-flags" passes flags down |
|
to its subinvocations. |
