GIT v1.6.4 Release Notes |
|
======================== |
|
|
|
With the next major release, "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. |
|
|
|
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: |
|
|
|
http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#non-bare |
|
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/107758/focus=108007 |
|
|
|
for more details on the reason why this change is needed and the |
|
transition plan. |
|
|
|
For a similar reason, "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch |
|
$killed in a remote repository $there, if $killed branch is the current |
|
branch pointed at by its HEAD, gets a large warning. You can choose what |
|
should happen upon such a push by setting the configuration variable |
|
receive.denyDeleteCurrent in the receiving repository. |
|
|
|
When the user does not tell "git push" what to push, it has always |
|
pushed matching refs. For some people it is unexpected, and a new |
|
configuration variable push.default has been introduced to allow |
|
changing a different default behaviour. To advertise the new feature, |
|
a big warning is issued if this is not configured and a git push without |
|
arguments is attempted. |

Updates since v1.6.3 |
|
-------------------- |
|
|
|
(subsystems) |
|
|
|
* gitweb Perl style clean-up. |
|
|
|
* git-svn updates, including a new --authors-prog option to map author |
|
names by invoking an external program. |
|
|
|
(portability) |
|
|
|
* We feed iconv with "UTF-8" instead of "utf8"; the former is |
|
understood more widely. |
|
|
|
(performance) |
|
|
|
(usability, bells and whistles) |
|
|
|
* "git add --edit" lets users edit the whole patch text to fine-tune what |
|
is added to the index. |
|
|
|
* "git log --graph" draws graphs more compactly by using horizonal lines |
|
when able. |
|
|
|
* "git log --decorate" shows shorter refnames by stripping well-known |
|
refs/* prefix. |
|
|
|
* "git send-email" understands quoted aliases in .mailrc files (might |
|
have to be backported to 1.6.3.X). |
|
|
|
* "git send-email" can fetch the sender address from the configuration |
|
variable "sendmail.from" (and "sendmail.<identity>.from"). |
|
|
|
* "git show-branch" can color its output. |
|
|
|
* "add" and "update" subcommands to "git submodule" learned --reference |
|
option to use local clone with references. |
|
|
|
(developers) |
|
|
|
* A major part of the "git bisect" wrapper has moved to C. |
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.6.3 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
All of the fixes in v1.6.3.X maintenance series are included in this |
|
release, unless otherwise noted. |
|
|
|
Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to |
|
v1.6.3.X series. |
|
|
|
* The way Git.pm sets up a Repository object was not friendly to callers |
|
that chdir around. It now internally records the repository location |
|
as an absolute path when autodetected. |
