Git v1.7.10 Release Notes |
|
========================= |
|
|
|
Updates since v1.7.9 |
|
-------------------- |
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features |
|
|
|
* Improved handling of views, labels and branches in git-p4 (in contrib). |
|
|
|
* "vcs-svn"/"svn-fe" learned to read dumps with svn-deltas and |
|
support incremental imports. |
|
|
|
* "git am" learned to pass "-b" option to underlying "git mailinfo", so |
|
that bracketed string other than "PATCH" at the beginning can be kept. |
|
|
|
* "git clone" learned "--single-branch" option to limit cloning to a |
|
single branch (surprise!). |
|
|
|
* "git clone" learned to detach the HEAD in the resulting repository |
|
when the source repository's HEAD does not point to a branch. |
|
|
|
* When showing a patch while ignoring whitespace changes, the context |
|
lines are taken from the postimage, in order to make it easier to |
|
view the output. |
|
|
|
* "diff-highlight" filter (in contrib/) was updated to produce more |
|
aesthetically pleasing output. |
|
|
|
* "git tag --list" can be given "--points-at <object>" to limit its |
|
output to those that point at the given object. |
|
|
|
* "git merge" in an interactive session learned to spawn the editor |
|
by default to let the user edit the auto-generated merge message, |
|
to encourage people to explain their merges better. Legacy scripts |
|
can export MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no to retain the historical behaviour. |
|
Both "git merge" and "git pull" can be given --no-edit from the |
|
command line to accept the auto-generated merge message. |
|
|
|
* "gitweb" allows intermediate entries in the directory hierarchy |
|
that leads to a projects to be clicked, which in turn shows the |
|
list of projects inside that directory. |
|
|
|
Performance |
|
|
|
* During "git upload-pack" in respose to "git fetch", unnecessary calls |
|
to parse_object() have been eliminated, to help performance in |
|
repositories with excessive number of refs. |
|
|
|
Internal Implementation (please report possible regressions) |
|
|
|
* Recursive call chains in "git index-pack" to deal with long delta |
|
chains have been flattened, to reduce the stack footprint. |
|
|
|
* Use of add_extra_ref() API is now gone, to make it possible to |
|
cleanly restructure the overall refs API. |
|
|
|
* The command line parser of "git pack-objects" now uses parse-options |
|
API. |
|
|
|
* The test suite supports the new "test_pause" helper function. |
|
|
|
* t/Makefile is adjusted to prevent newer versions of GNU make from |
|
running tests in seemingly random order. |
|
|
|
Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.7.9 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.7.9 in the maintenance |
|
releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for |
|
details). |
|
|
|
* "gitweb" used to drop warnings in the log file when "heads" view is |
|
accessed in a repository whose HEAD does not point at a valid |
|
branch. |
