master e903b40 (Update draft release notes for 1.6.0, 2008-07-01) |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
|
There are a few fixes on 'maint', in addition to futureproofing of "git |
|
shell" so that eventually we can update the ssh clients to ask for server |
|
side programs using "git upload-pack" syntax without a dash between "git" |
|
and the subcommand name. |
|
|
|
Many of the medimu size items for 1.6.0 have been merged to 'master'. The |
|
port to MinGW series will also be merged shortly. |

GIT v1.6.0 Release Notes (draft) |
|
================================ |
|
|
|
User visible changes |
|
-------------------- |
|
|
|
With the default Makefile settings, most of the programs are now |
|
installed outside your $PATH, except for "git", "gitk", "git-gui" and |
|
some server side programs that need to be accessible for technical |
|
reasons. Invoking a git subcommand as "git-xyzzy" from the command |
|
line has been deprecated since early 2006 (and officially announced in |
|
1.5.4 release notes); use of them from your scripts after adding |
|
output from "git --exec-path" to the $PATH is still supported in this |
|
release, but users are again strongly encouraged to adjust their |
|
scripts to use "git xyzzy" form, as we will stop installing |
|
"git-xyzzy" hardlinks for built-in commands in later releases. |
|
|
|
Source changes needed for porting to MinGW environment are now all in the |
|
main git.git codebase. |
|
|
|
By default, packfiles created with this version uses delta-base-offset |
|
encoding introduced in v1.4.4. Pack idx files are using version 2 that |
|
allows larger packs and added robustness thanks to its CRC checking, |
|
introduced in v1.5.2. |
|
|
|
|
|
Updates since v1.5.6 |
|
-------------------- |
|
|
|
(subsystems) |
|
|
|
* git-p4 in contrib learned "allowSubmit" configuration to control on |
|
which branch to allow "submit" subcommand. |
|
|
|
(portability) |
|
|
|
* Sample hook scripts shipped in templates/ are now suffixed with |
|
*.sample. We used to prevent them from triggering by default by |
|
relying on the fact that we install them as unexecutable, but on |
|
some filesystems this approach does not work. Instead of running |
|
"chmod +x" on them, the users who want to activate these samples |
|
as-is can now rename them dropping *.sample suffix. |
|
|
|
* perl's in-place edit (-i) does not work well without backup files on Windows; |
|
some tests are rewritten to cope with this. |
|
|
|
(documentation) |
|
|
|
* Updated howto/update-hook-example |
|
|
|
* Got rid of usage of "git-foo" from the tutorial. |
|
|
|
* Disambiguating "--" between revs and paths is finally documented. |
|
|
|
(performance, robustness, sanity etc.) |
|
|
|
* even more documentation pages are now accessible via "man" and "git help". |
|
|
|
* reduced excessive inlining to shrink size of the "git" binary. |
|
|
|
* verify-pack checks the object CRC when using version 2 idx files. |
|
|
|
* When an object is corrupt in a pack, the object became unusable even |
|
when the same object is available in a loose form, We now try harder to |
|
fall back to these redundant objects when able. In particular, "git |
|
repack -a -f" can be used to fix such a corruption as long as necessary |
|
objects are available. |
|
|
|
* git-clone does not create refs in loose form anymore (it behaves as |
|
if you immediately ran git-pack-refs after cloning). This will help |
|
repositories with insanely large number of refs. |
|
|
|
* core.fsyncobjectfiles configuration can be used to ensure that the loose |
|
objects created will be fsync'ed (this is only useful on filesystems |
|
that does not order data writes properly). |
|
|
|
* "git commit-tree" plumbing can make Octopus with more than 16 parents. |
|
"git commit" has been capable of this for quite some time. |
|
|
|
(usability, bells and whistles) |
|
|
|
* git-apply can handle a patch that touches the same path more than once |
|
much better than before. |
|
|
|
* git-apply can be told not to trust the line counts recorded in the input |
|
patch but recount, with the new --recount option. |
|
|
|
* git-archive can be told to omit certain paths from its output using |
|
export-ignore attributes. |
|
|
|
* git-clone can clone from a remote whose URL would be rewritten by |
|
configuration stored in $HOME/.gitconfig now. |
|
|
|
* git-diff --check now checks leftover merge conflict markers. |
|
|
|
* When remote side used to have branch 'foo' and git-fetch finds that now |
|
it has branch 'foo/bar', it refuses to lose the existing remote tracking |
|
branch and its reflog. The error message has been improved to suggest |
|
pruning the remote if the user wants to proceed and get the latest set |
|
of branches from the remote, including such 'foo/bar'. |
|
|
|
* fast-export learned to export and import marks file; this can be used to |
|
interface with fast-import incrementally. |
|
|
|
* Original SHA-1 value for "update-ref -d" is optional now. |
|
|
|
* git-send-mail can talk not just over SSL but over TLS now. |
|
|
|
* You can tell "git status -u" to even more aggressively omit checking |
|
untracked files with --untracked-files=no. |
|
|
|
* Error codes from gitweb are made more descriptive where possible, rather |
|
than "403 forbidden" as we used to issue everywhere. |
|

Fixes since v1.5.6 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
All of the fixes in v1.5.6 maintenance series are included in |
|
this release, unless otherwise noted. |
|
|
|
* diff -c/--cc showed unnecessary "deletion" lines at the context |
|
boundary (needs backmerge to maint). |
|
|
|
* "git-clone <src> <dst>" did not create leading directories for <dst> |
|
like the scripted version used to do (needs backport to maint). |
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
* The 'maint' branch has these fixes since v1.5.6.1. |
