GIT v1.6.3 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. |

Updates since v1.6.2 |
|
-------------------- |
|
|
|
(subsystems) |
|
|
|
(performance) |
|
|
|
* many uses of lstat(2) in the codepath for "git checkout" have been |
|
optimized out. |
|
|
|
(usability, bells and whistles) |
|
|
|
* rsync:/path/to/repo can be used to run git over rsync for local |
|
repositories. It may not be useful in practice; meant primarily for |
|
testing. |
|
|
|
* (msysgit) progress output that is sent over the sideband protocol can |
|
be handled appropriately in Windows console. |
|
|
|
* "--pretty=<style>" option to the log family of commands can now be |
|
spelled as "--format=<style>". In addition, --format=%formatstring |
|
is a short-hand for --pretty=tformat:%formatstring. |
|
|
|
* "--oneline" is a synonym for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev=commit". |
|
|
|
* If you realize that you botched the patch when you are editing hunks |
|
with the 'edit' action in git-add -i/-p, you can abort the editor to |
|
tell git not to apply it. |
|
|
|
* git-archive learned --output=<file> option. |
|
|
|
* git-bisect shows not just the number of remaining commits whose goodness |
|
is unknown, but also shows the estimated number of remaining rounds. |
|
|
|
* You can give --date=<format> option to git-blame. |
|
|
|
* git-branch -r shows HEAD symref that points at a remote branch in |
|
interest of each tracked remote repository. |
|
|
|
* git-config learned -e option to open an editor to edit the config file |
|
directly. |
|
|
|
* git-clone runs post-checkout hook when run without --no-checkout. |
|
|
|
* git-format-patch can be told to use attachment with a new configuration, |
|
format.attach. |
|
|
|
* git-format-patch can be told to produce deep or shallow message threads. |
|
|
|
* git-grep learned to highlight the found substrings in color. |
|
|
|
* git-imap-send learned to work around Thunderbird's inability to easily |
|
disable format=flowed with a new configuration, imap.preformattedHTML. |
|
|
|
* git-rebase can be told to rebase the series even if your branch is a |
|
descendant of the commit you are rebasing onto with --force-rebase |
|
option. |
|
|
|
* git-rebase can be told to report diffstat with the --stat option. |
|
|
|
* Output from git-remote command has been vastly improved. |
|
|
|
* git-send-email learned --confirm option to review the Cc: list before |
|
sending the messages out. |
|
|
|
(developers) |
|
|
|
* Test scripts can be run under valgrind. |
|
|
|
* Makefile learned 'coverage' option to run the test suites with |
|
coverage tracking enabled. |

Fixes since v1.6.2 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
All of the fixes in v1.6.2.X maintenance series are included in this |
|
release, unless otherwise noted. |
|
|
|
Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to |
|
v1.6.2.X series. |
|
|
|
* "git diff --pickaxe-regexp" did not count overlapping matches |
|
correctly (backport by cherry-picking 50fd699). |
|
|
|
* "git-fetch" in a repository that was not cloned from anywhere said |
|
it cannot find 'origin', which was hard to understand for new people. |
|
|
|
* git-gc spent excessive amount of time to decide if an object appears |
|
in a locally existing pack (if needed, backport by merging 69e020a). |
|
|
|
* "git-ls-files --deleted" did not work well with GIT_DIR&GIT_WORK_TREE |
|
(backport by cherry-picking 8ad3dae). |
|
|
|
* "git-read-tree A B C..." without -m option has been broken for a long time |
|
(backport by merging jc/maint-1.6.0-read-tree-overlay) |
|
|
|
* 'git-submodule add' did not tolerate extra slashes and ./ in the |
|
path it accepted from the command line; it now is more lenient |
|
(if needed, backport by merging db75ada). |
|
|
|
* git-send-email ignored --in-reply-to when --no-thread was given |
|
(backport by merging tr/maint-1.6.0-send-email-irt) |
|
