GIT v1.5.6 Release Notes |
|
======================== |
|
|
|
Updates since v1.5.5 |
|
-------------------- |
|
|
|
(subsystems) |
|
|
|
* Comes with updated gitk and git-gui. |
|
|
|
(portability) |
|
|
|
* git will build on AIX better than before now. |
|
|
|
* core.ignorecase configuration variable can be used to work better on |
|
filesystems that are not case sensitive. |
|
|
|
* "git init" now autodetects the case sensitivity of the filesystem and |
|
sets core.ignorecase accordingly. |
|
|
|
(documentation) |
|
|
|
* Many freestanding documentation pages have been converted and made |
|
available to "git help" (aka "man git-<command>") as section 7 of the |
|
manual pages. |
|
|
|
(performance) |
|
|
|
* "git clone" was rewritten in C. This will hopefully help cloning a |
|
repository with insane number of refs. |
|
|
|
* "git rebase --onto $there $from $branch" used to switch to the tip of |
|
$branch only to immediately reset back to $from, smudging work tree |
|
files unnecessarily. This has been optimized. |
|
|
|
* Object creation codepath in "git-svn" has been optimized by enhancing |
|
plumbing commands git-cat-file and git-hash-object. |
|
|
|
(usability, bells and whistles) |
|
|
|
* "git add -p" (and the "patch" subcommand of "git add -i") can choose to |
|
apply (or not apply) mode changes independently from contents changes. |
|
|
|
* "git bisect help" gives longer and more helpful usage information. |
|
|
|
* "git bisect" does not use a special branch "bisect" anymore; instead, it |
|
does its work on a detached HEAD. |
|
|
|
* "git branch" (and "git checkout -b") can be told to set up |
|
branch.<name>.rebase automatically, so that later you can say "git pull" |
|
and magically cause "git pull --rebase" to happen. |
|
|
|
* "git branch --merged" and "git branch --no-merged" can be used to list |
|
branches that have already been merged (or not yet merged) to the |
|
current branch. |
|
|
|
* "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can add a sign-off. |
|
|
|
* "git commit" mentions the author identity when you are committing |
|
somebody else's changes. |
|
|
|
* "git diff/log --dirstat" output is consistent between binary and textual |
|
changes. |
|
|
|
* "git filter-branch" rewrites signed tags by demoting them to annotated. |
|
|
|
* "git format-patch --no-binary" can produce a patch that lack binary |
|
changes (i.e. cannot be used to propagate the whole changes) meant only |
|
for reviewing. |
|
|
|
* "git init --bare" is a synonym for "git --bare init" now. |
|
|
|
* "git gc --auto" honors a new pre-auto-gc hook to temporarily disable it. |
|
|
|
* "git log --pretty=tformat:<custom format>" gives a LF after each entry, |
|
instead of giving a LF between each pair of entries which is how |
|
"git log --pretty=format:<custom format>" works. |
|
|
|
* "git log" and friends learned the "--graph" option to show the ancestry |
|
graph at the left margin of the output. |
|
|
|
* "git log" and friends can be told to use date format that is different |
|
from the default via 'log.date' configuration variable. |
|
|
|
* "git send-email" now can send out messages outside a git repository. |
|
|
|
* "git send-email --compose" was made aware of rfc2047 quoting. |
|
|
|
* "git status" can optionally include output from "git submodule |
|
summary". |
|
|
|
* "git svn" learned --add-author-from option to propagate the authorship |
|
by munging the commit log message. |
|
|
|
* new object creation and looking up in "git svn" has been optimized. |
|
|
|
* "gitweb" can read from a system-wide configuration file. |
|
|
|
(internal) |
|
|
|
* "git unpack-objects" and "git receive-pack" is now more strict about |
|
detecting breakage in the objects they receive over the wire. |
