GIT v1.5.3 Release Notes (draft) |
|
======================== |
|
|
|
Updates since v1.5.2 |
|
-------------------- |
|
|
|
* An initial interation of Porcelain level superproject support |
|
started to take shape. |
|
|
|
* Thee are a handful pack-objects changes to help you cope better with |
|
repositories with pathologically large blobs in them. |
|
|
|
* New commands and options. |
|
|
|
- "git-submodule" command helps you manage the projects from |
|
the superproject that contain them. |
|
|
|
- In addition to core.compression configuration option, |
|
core.loosecompression and pack.compression options can |
|
independently tweak zlib compression levels used for loose |
|
and packed objects. |
|
|
|
- "git-ls-tree -l" shows size of blobs pointed at by the |
|
tree entries, similar to "/bin/ls -l". |
|
|
|
- "git-rev-list" learned --regexp-ignore-case and |
|
--extended-regexp options to tweak its matching logic used |
|
for --grep fitering. |
|
|
|
- "git-describe --contains" is a handier way to call more |
|
obscure command "git-name-rev --tags". |
|
|
|
- "git gc --aggressive" tells the command to spend more cycles |
|
to optimize the repository harder. |
|
|
|
- "git repack" can be told to split resulting packs to avoid |
|
exceeding limit specified with "--max-pack-size". |
|
|
|
* Updated behavior of existing commands. |
|
|
|
- "git push" pretends that you immediately fetched back from |
|
the remote by updating corresponding remote tracking |
|
branches if you have any. |
|
|
|
- The diffstat given after a merge (or a pull) honors the |
|
color.diff configuration. |
|
|
|
- "git-apply --whitespace=strip" removes blank lines added at |
|
the end of the file. |
|
|
|
- fetch over git native protocols with -v shows connection |
|
status, and the IP address of the other end, to help |
|
diagnosing problems. |
|
|
|
- core.legacyheaders is no more, although we still can read |
|
objects created in a new loose object format. |
|
|
|
- "git-mailsplit" (hence "git-am") can read from Maildir |
|
formatted mailboxes. |
|
|
|
- "git cvsserver" does not barf upon seeing "cvs login" |
|
request. |
|
|
|
- "pack-objects" honors "delta" attribute set in |
|
.gitattributes. It does not attempt to deltify blobs that |
|
come from paths with delta attribute set to false. |
|
|
|
- new-workdir script (in contrib) can now be used with a bare |
|
repository. |
|
|
|
|
|
* Builds |
|
|
|
- |
|
|
|
* Performance Tweaks |
|
|
|
- git-pack-objects avoids re-deltification cost by caching |
|
small enough delta results it creates while looking for the |
|
best delta candidates. |
|
|
|
- diff-delta code that is used for packing has been improved |
|
to work better on big files. |
|
|
|
- when there are more than one pack files in the repository, |
|
the runtime used to try finding an object always from the |
|
newest packfile; it now tries the same packfile as we found |
|
the object requested the last time, which exploits the |
|
locality of references. |
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.5.2 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
All of the fixes in v1.5.2 maintenance series are included in |
|
this release, unless otherwise noted. |
|
|
|
* Bugfixes |
|
|
|
- .... This has not |

intrusive change. |
