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. |
|
|
|
|
|
Updates since v1.5.3 |
|
-------------------- |
|
|
|
* Comes with much improved gitk. |
|
|
|
* Comes with git-gui 0.9.0 with i18n. |
|
|
|
* git-lost-found was deprecated in favor of git-fsck's --lost-found |
|
option. |
|
|
|
* git-peek-remote is deprecated, as git-ls-remote was written in C and |
|
works for all transports. |
|
|
|
* 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. |
|
|
|
* many commands that pay attention to per-directory .gitignore now do |
|
so lazily, which makes the usual case go much faster. |
|
|
|
* git-reset is now built-in and its output can be squelched with -q. |
|
|
|
* git-send-email can optionally talk over ssmtp and use SMTP-AUTH. |
|
|
|
* git-rebase learned --whitespace option. |
|
|
|
* In git-rebase, when you decide not to replay a particular change |
|
after the command stopped with a conflict, you can say "git-rebase |
|
--skip" without first running "git reset --hard", as the command now |
|
runs it for you. |
|
|
|
* git-remote knows --mirror mode. |
|
|
|
* git-merge can call the "post-merge" hook. |
|
|
|
* git-pack-objects can optionally run deltification with multiple threads. |
|
|
|
* git-archive can optionally substitute keywords in files marked with |
|
export-subst attribute. |
|
|
|
* git-for-each-ref learned %(xxxdate:<dateformat>) syntax to |
|
show the various date fields in different formats. |
|
|
|
* git-gc --auto is a low-impact way to automatically run a |
|
variant of git-repack that does not lose unreferenced objects |
|
(read: safer than the usual one) after the user accumulates |
|
too many loose objects. |
|
|
|
* You need to explicitly set clean.requireForce to "false" to allow |
|
git-clean without -f to do any damage (lack of the configuration |
|
variable used to mean "do not require", but we now use the safer |
|
default). |
|
|
|
* git-clean has been rewritten in C. |
|
|
|
* git-push has been rewritten in C. |
|
|
|
* git-push learned --dry-run option to show what would happen |
|
if a push is run. |
|
|
|
* git-push does not update a tracking ref on the pushing side when the |
|
remote refused to update the corresponding ref. |
|
|
|
* git-push learned --mirror option. This is to push the local refs |
|
one-to-one to the remote, and deletes refs from the remote that do |
|
not exist anymore in the repository on the pushing side. |
|
|
|
* git-remote learned "rm" subcommand. |
|
|
|
* git-rebase --interactive mode can now work on detached HEAD. |
|
|
|
* git-cvsserver can be run via git-shell. |
|
|
|
* git-am and git-rebase are far less verbose. |
|
|
|
* git-pull learned to pass --[no-]ff option to underlying git-merge. |
|
|
|
* Various Perforce importer updates. |
|
|
|
* "git log" learned --early-output option to help interactive |
|
GUI implementations. |
|
|
|
* git-svnimport was removed in favor of git-svn. |
|
|
|
* git-bisect learned "skip" action to mark untestable commits. |
|
|
|
* git-format-patch learned "format.numbered" configuration variable |
|
to automatically turn --numbered option on when more than one |
|
commits are formatted. |
|
|
|
* git-ls-files learned "--exclude-standard" to use the canned |
|
set of exclude files. |
|
|
|
* git-rebase now detaches head during its operation, so after a |
|
successful "git rebase" operation, the reflog entry branch@{1} |
|
for the current branch points at the commit before the rebase |
|
was started. |
|
|
|
* "git-tag -a -f existing" begins the editor session using the |
|
existing annotation message. |
|
|
|
* "git cvsexportcommit" learned -w option to specify and switch |
|
to the CVS working directory. |
|
|
|
* "git checkout" from a subdirectory learned to use "../path" |
|
to allow checking out a path outside the current directory |
|
without cd'ing up. |
|
|
|
* "git send-email --dry-run" shows full headers for easier |
|
diagnosis. |
|
|
|
* "git merge-ours" is built-in. |
|
|
|
* "git svn" learned "info" and "show-externals" subcommands. |
|
|
|
* calling "git svn" from a subdirectory failed read settings from the |
|
.git/config. |
|
|
|
* "git svn" learned --use-log-author option, which picks up more |
|
descriptive name from From: and Signed-off-by: lines in the commit |
|
message. |
|
|
|
* "git status" from a subdirectory now shows relative paths |
|
which makes copy-and-pasting for git-checkout/git-add/git-rm |
|
easier. |
|
|
|
* "git checkout" from and to detached HEAD leaves a bit more |
|
information in the reflog. |
|
|
|
* Output processing for '--pretty=format:<user format>' has |
|
been optimized. |
|
|
|
* Rename detection of diff family, while detecting exact matches, has |
|
been greatly optimized. |
|
|
|
* Rename detection of diff family tries to make more naturally looking |
|
pairing. Earlier if more than one identical rename sources were |
|
found in the preimage, they were picked pretty much at random. |
|
|
|
* Example update and post-receive hooks have been improved. |
|
|
|
* A corrupt ref at the remote site can be removed via "git push". |
|
|
|
* In addition there are quite a few internal clean-ups. Notably |
|
|
|
- many fork/exec have been replaced with run-command API, |
|
brought from the msysgit effort. |
|
|
|
- introduction and more use of the option parser API. |
|
|
|
- enhancement and more use of the strbuf API. |
|

Fixes since v1.5.3 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
All of the fixes in v1.5.3 maintenance series are included in |
|
this release, unless otherwise noted. |
|
|
|
* git-svn talking with the SVN over http will correctly quote branch |
|
and project names. |
|
|
|
* "git rev-list --objects A..B" choked when the lower boundary |
|
of the range involved a subproject. This fix is also queued |
|
for 'maint' (but not in there yet). |
