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. |

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, 'git svn reset' to unwind |
|
'git svn fetch', support for more than one branches, documenting |
|
of the useful --minimize-url feature, new "git svn gc" command, etc. |
|
|
|
(portability) |
|
|
|
* We feed iconv with "UTF-8" instead of "utf8"; the former is |
|
understood more widely. Similarly updated test scripts to use |
|
encoding names more widely understood (e.g. use "ISO8859-1" instead |
|
of "ISO-8859-1"). |
|
|
|
* Various portability fixes/workarounds for different vintages of |
|
SunOS, IRIX, and Windows. |
|
|
|
* Git-over-ssh transport on Windows supports PuTTY plink and TortoisePlink. |
|
|
|
(performance) |
|
|
|
* Many repeated use of lstat() are optimized out in "checkout" codepath. |
|
|
|
* git-status (and underlying git-diff-index --cached) are optimized |
|
to take advantage of cache-tree information in the index. |
|
|
|
(usability, bells and whistles) |
|
|
|
* "git add --edit" lets users edit the whole patch text to fine-tune what |
|
is added to the index. |
|
|
|
* "git am" accepts StGIT series file as its input. |
|
|
|
* "git bisect skip" skips to a more randomly chosen place in the hope |
|
to avoid testing a commit that is too close to a commit that is |
|
already known to be untestable. |
|
|
|
* "git cvsexportcommit" learned -k option to stop CVS keywords expansion |
|
|
|
* "git fast-export" learned to handle history simplification more |
|
gracefully. |
|
|
|
* "git fast-export" learned an option --tag-of-filtered-object to handle |
|
dangling tags resulting from history simplification more usefully. |
|
|
|
* "git grep" learned -p option to show the location of the match using the |
|
same context hunk marker "git diff" uses. |
|
|
|
* https transport can optionally be told that the used client |
|
certificate is password protected, in which case it asks the |
|
password only once. |
|
|
|
* "git imap-send" is IPv6 aware. |
|
|
|
* "git log --graph" draws graphs more compactly by using horizontal lines |
|
when able. |
|
|
|
* "git log --decorate" shows shorter refnames by stripping well-known |
|
refs/* prefix. |
|
|
|
* "git push $name" honors remote.$name.pushurl if present before |
|
using remote.$name.url. In other words, the URL used for fetching |
|
and pushing can be different. |
|
|
|
* "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. |
|
|
|
* "git submodule update" learned --rebase option to update checked |
|
out submodules by rebasing the local changes. |
|
|
|
* "gitweb" can optionally use gravatar to adorn author/committer names. |
|
|
|
(developers) |
|
|
|
* A major part of the "git bisect" wrapper has moved to C. |
|
|
|
* Formatting with the new version of AsciiDoc 8.4.1 is now supported. |
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
* "git diff-tree -r -t" used to omit new or removed directories from |
|
the output. df533f3 (diff-tree -r -t: include added/removed |
|
directories in the output, 2009-06-13) may need to be cherry-picked |
|
to backport this fix. |
|
|
|
* 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. |
|
|
|
* Removing a section with "git config --remove-section", when its |
|
section header has a variable definition on the same line, lost |
|
that variable definition. |
|
|
|
* "git rebase -p --onto" used to always leave side branches of a merge |
|
intact, even when both branches are subject to rewriting. |
|
|
|
* "git repack" used to faithfully follow grafts and considered true |
|
parents recorded in the commit object unreachable from the commit. |
|
After such a repacking, you cannot remove grafts without corrupting |
|
the repository. |
|
|
|
* "git send-email" did not detect erroneous loops in alias expansion.
