GIT v1.5.1 Release Notes |
|
======================== |
|
|
|
Updates since v1.5.0 |
|
-------------------- |
|
|
|
* Deprecated commands and options. |
|
|
|
- git-diff-stages and git-resolve have been removed. |
|
|
|
* New commands and options. |
|
|
|
- "git log" and friends take --reverse, which instructs them |
|
to give their output in the order opposite from their usual. |
|
They typically output from new to old, but with this option |
|
their output would read from old to new. "git shortlog" |
|
usually lists older commits first, but with this option, |
|
they are shown from new to old. |
|
|
|
- "git log --pretty=format:<string>" to allow more flexible |
|
custom log output. |
|
|
|
- "git diff" learned --ignore-space-at-eol. This is a weaker |
|
form of --ignore-space-change. |
|
|
|
- "git diff --no-index pathA pathB" can be used as diff |
|
replacement with git specific enhancements. |
|
|
|
- "git diff --no-index" can read from '-' (standard input). |
|
|
|
- "git diff" also learned --exit-code to exit with non-zero |
|
status when it found differences. In the future we might |
|
want to make this the default but that would be a rather big |
|
backward incompatible change; it will stay as an option for |
|
now. |
|
|
|
- "git diff --quiet" is --exit-code with output turned off, |
|
meant for scripted use to quickly determine if there is any |
|
tree-level difference. |
|
|
|
- Textual patch generation with "git diff" without -w/-b |
|
option has been significantly optimized. "git blame" got |
|
faster because of the same change. |
|
|
|
- "git log" and "git rev-list" has been optimized |
|
significantly when they are used with pathspecs. |
|
|
|
- "git branch --track" can be used to set up configuration |
|
variables to help it easier to base your work on branches |
|
you track from a remote site. |
|
|
|
- "git format-patch --attach" now emits attachments. Use |
|
--inline to get an inlined multipart/mixed. |
|
|
|
- "git name-rev" learned --refs=<pattern>, to limit the tags |
|
used for naming the given revisions only to the ones |
|
matching the given pattern. |
|
|
|
- "git remote update" is to run "git fetch" for defined remotes |
|
to update tracking branches. |
|
|
|
- "git cvsimport" can now take '-d' to talk with a CVS |
|
repository different from what are recorded in CVS/Root |
|
(overriding it with environment CVSROOT does not work). |
|
|
|
- "git bundle" can help sneaker-netting your changes between |
|
repositories. |
|
|
|
- "git mergetool" can help 3-way file-level conflict |
|
resolution with your favorite graphical merge tools. |
|
|
|
- A new configuration "core.symlinks" can be used to disable |
|
symlinks on filesystems that do not support them; they are |
|
checked out as regular files instead. |
|
|
|
- You can name a commit object with its first line of the |
|
message. The syntax to use is ':/message text'. E.g. |
|
|
|
$ git show ":/object name: introduce ':/<oneline prefix>' notation" |
|
|
|
means the same thing as: |
|
|
|
$ git show 28a4d940443806412effa246ecc7768a21553ec7 |
|
|
|
- "git bisect" learned a new command "run" that takes a script |
|
to run after each revision is checked out to determine if it |
|
is good or bad, to automate the bisection process. |
|
|
|
|
|
* Updated behaviour of existing commands. |
|
|
|
- "git fsck" does not barf on corrupt loose objects. |
|
|
|
- "git archimport" allows remapping when coming up with git |
|
branch names from arch names. |
|
|
|
- git-svn got almost a rewrite. |
|
|
|
- core.autocrlf configuration, when set to 'true', makes git |
|
to convert CRLF at the end of lines in text files to LF when |
|
reading from the filesystem, and convert in reverse when |
|
writing to the filesystem. The variable can be set to |
|
'input', in which case the conversion happens only while |
|
reading from the filesystem but files are written out with |
|
LF at the end of lines. Currently, which paths to consider |
|
'text' (i.e. be subjected to the autocrlf mechanism) is |
|
decided purely based on the contents, but the plan is to |
|
allow users to explicitly override this heuristic based on |
|
paths. |
|
|
|
- The behaviour of 'git-apply', when run in a subdirectory, |
|
without --index nor --cached were inconsistent with that of |
|
the command with these options. This was fixed to match the |
|
behaviour with --index. A patch that is meant to be applied |
|
with -p1 from the toplevel of the project tree can be |
|
applied with any custom -p<n> option. A patch that is not |
|
relative to the toplevel needs to be applied with -p<n> |
|
option with or without --index (or --cached). |
|
|
|
- "git diff" outputs a trailing HT when pathnames have embedded |
|
SP on +++/--- header lines, in order to help "GNU patch" to |
|
parse its output. "git apply" was already updated to accept |
|
this modified output format since ce74618d (Sep 22, 2006). |
|
|
|
- "git cvsserver" runs hooks/update and honors its exit status. |
|
|
|
- "git cvsserver" can be told to send everything with -kb. |
|
|
|
- "git diff --check" also honors the --color output option. |
|
|
|
- "git name-rev" used to stress the fact that a ref is a tag too |
|
much, by saying something like "v1.2.3^0~22". It now says |
|
"v1.2.3~22" in such a case (it still says "v1.2.3^0" if it does |
|
not talk about an ancestor of the commit that is tagged, which |
|
makes sense). |
|
|
|
- "git rev-list --boundary" now shows boundary markers for the |
|
commits omitted by --max-age and --max-count condition. |
|
|
|
- The configuration mechanism now reads $(prefix)/etc/gitconfig. |
|
|
|
- "git apply --verbose" shows what preimage lines were wanted |
|
when it couldn't find them. |
|
|
|
- "git status" in a read-only repository got a bit saner. |
|
|
|
- "git fetch" (hence "git clone" and "git pull") are less |
|
noisy when the output does not go to tty. |
|
|
|
- "git fetch" between repositories with many refs were slow |
|
even when there are not many changes that needed |
|
transferring. This has been sped up by partially rewriting |
|
the heaviest parts in C. |
|
|
|
- "git mailinfo" which splits an e-mail into a patch and the |
|
metainformation was rewritten, thanks to Don Zickus. It |
|
handles nested multipart better. |
|
|
|
- send-email learned configurable bcc and chain-reply-to. |
|
|
|
- "git remote show $remote" also talks about branches that |
|
would be pushed if you run "git push remote". |
|
|
|
- Using objects from packs is now seriouly optimized by clever |
|
use of a cache. This should be most noticeable in git-log |
|
family of commands that involve reading many tree objects. |
|
In addition, traversing revisions while filtering changes |
|
with pathspecs is made faster by terminating the comparison |
|
between the trees as early as possible. |
|
|
|
|
|
* Hooks |
|
|
|
- The part to send out notification e-mails was removed from |
|
the sample update hook, as it was not an appropriate place |
|
to do so. |
|
|
|
|
|
* Others |
|
|
|
- git-revert, git-gc and git-cherry-pick are now built-ins. |
