Git v1.7.3 Release Notes |
|
======================== |
|
|
|
Updates since v1.7.2 |
|
-------------------- |
|
|
|
* git-gui, now at version 0.13.0, got various updates and a new |
|
maintainer, Pat Thoyts. |
|
|
|
* Gitweb allows its configuration to change per each request; it used to |
|
read the configuration once upon startup. |
|
|
|
* When git finds a corrupt object, it now reports the file that contains |
|
it. |
|
|
|
* "git checkout -B <it>" is a shorter way to say "git branch -f <it>" |
|
followed by "git checkout <it>". |
|
|
|
* When "git checkout" or "git merge" refuse to proceed in order to |
|
protect local modification to your working tree, they used to stop |
|
after showing just one path that might be lost. They now show all, |
|
in a format that is easier to read. |
|
|
|
* "git clean" learned "-e" ("--exclude") option. |
|
|
|
* Hunk headers produced for C# files by "git diff" and friends show more |
|
relevant context than before. |
|
|
|
* diff.ignoresubmodules configuration variable can be used to squelch the |
|
differences in submodules reported when running commands (e.g. "diff", |
|
"status", etc.) at the superproject level. |
|
|
|
* http.useragent configuration can be used to lie who you are to your |
|
restrictive firewall. |
|
|
|
* "git rebase --strategy <s>" learned "-X" option to pass extra options |
|
that are understood by the chosen merge strategy. |
|
|
|
* "git rebase -i" learned "exec" that you can insert into the insn sheet |
|
to run a command between its steps. |
|
|
|
* "git rebase" between branches that have many binary changes that do |
|
not conflict should be faster. |
|
|
|
* "git rebase -i" peeks into rebase.autosquash configuration and acts as |
|
if you gave --autosquash from the command line. |
|
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates. |

Fixes since v1.7.2 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
All of the fixes in v1.7.2.X maintenance series are included in this |
|
release, unless otherwise noted. |
|
|
|
* "git merge -s recursive" (which is the default) did not handle cases |
|
where a directory becomes a file (or vice versa) very well. |
|
|
|
* "git fetch" and friends were accidentally broken for url with "+" in |
|
its path, e.g. "git://git.gnome.org/gtk+". |
|
|
|
* "git fetch $url" (i.e. without refspecs) was broken for quite some |
|
time, if the current branch happen to be tracking some remote. |
|
|
|
* "git ls-tree dir dirgarbage", when "dir" was a directory, |
|
incorrectly recursed into "dir". |
|
|
|
* "git note remove" created unnecessary extra commit when named object |
|
did not have any note to begin with. |
|
|
|
* "git rebase" did not work well if you had diff.noprefix configured. |
|
|
|
* "git -c foo=bar subcmd" did not work well for subcmd that is not |
|
implemented as a built-in command.
