GIT v1.6.1 Release Notes |
|
======================== |
|
|
|
Updates since v1.6.0 |
|
-------------------- |
|
|
|
When some commands (e.g. "git log", "git diff") spawn pager internally, we |
|
used to make the pager the parent process of the git command that produces |
|
output. This meant that the exit status of the whole thing comes from the |
|
pager, not the underlying git command. We swapped the order of the |
|
processes around and you will see the exit code from the command from now |
|
on. |
|
|
|
(subsystems) |
|
|
|
* gitk can call out to git-gui to view "git blame" output; git-gui in turn |
|
can run gitk from its blame view. |
|
|
|
(portability) |
|
|
|
* ... |
|
|
|
(documentation) |
|
|
|
* ... |
|
|
|
(performance) |
|
|
|
* The underlying diff machinery to produce textual output has been |
|
optimized, which would result in faster "git blame" processing. |
|
|
|
* Most of the test scripts (but not the ones that try to run servers) |
|
can be run in parallel. |
|
|
|
(usability, bells and whistles) |
|
|
|
* "git checkout --track origin/hack" used to be a syntax error. It now |
|
DWIMs to create a corresponding local branch "hack", i.e. acts as if you |
|
said "git checkout --track -b hack origin/hack". |
|
|
|
* "git cherry-pick" can also utilize rerere for conflict resolution. |
|
|
|
* "git commit --author=$name" can look up author name from existing |
|
commits. |
|
|
|
* "git count-objects" reports the on-disk footprint for packfiles and |
|
their corresponding idx files. |
|
|
|
* "git daemon" learned --max-connections=<count> option. |
|
|
|
* "git diff" learned to mimick --suppress-blank-empty from GNU diff via a |
|
configuration option. |
|
|
|
* "git diff" learned to put more sensible hunk headers for Python and |
|
HTML contents. |
|
|
|
* "git help" learned to use GIT_MAN_VIEWER environment variable before |
|
using "man" program. |
|
|
|
* "git imap-send" can optionally talk SSL. |
|
|
|
* "git index-pack" is more careful against disk corruption while |
|
completing a thin pack. |
|
|
|
* "git log --check" and "git log --exit-code" passes their underlying diff |
|
status with their exit status code. |
|
|
|
* "git log" learned --simplify-merges, a milder variant of --full-history; |
|
"gitk --simplify-merges" is easier to view than with --full-history. |
|
|
|
* "git merge --squash" and "git merge --no-ff" into an unborn branch are |
|
noticed as user errors. |
|
|
|
* "git merge -s $strategy" can use a custom built strategy if you have a |
|
command "git-merge-$strategy" on your $PATH. |
|
|
|
* "git reflog expire branch" can be used in place of "git reflog expire |
|
refs/heads/branch". |
|
|
|
* "git submodule foreach" subcommand allows you to iterate over checked |
|
out submodules. |
|
|
|
* "git submodule sync" subcommands allows you to update the origin URL |
|
recorded in submodule directories from the toplevel .gitmodules file. |
|
|
|
(internal) |
|
|
|
* "git hash-object" learned to lie about the path being hashed, so that |
|
correct gitattributes processing can be done while hashing contents |
|
stored in a temporary file. |
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.6.0 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
All of the fixes in v1.6.0.X maintenance series are included in this |
|
release, unless otherwise noted. |
|
|
|
* "git add" and "git update-index" incorrectly allowed adding S/F when S |
|
is a tracked symlink that points at a directory D that has a path F in |
|
it (we still need to fix a similar nonsense when S is a submodule and F |
|
is a path in it). |
|
|
|
* "git diff --stdin" used to take two trees on a line and compared them, |
|
but we droppped support for such a use case long time ago. This has |
|
been resurrected. |
|
|
|
* "git filter-branch" failed to rewrite a tag name with slashes in it. |
|
|
|
* "git push --tags --all $there" failed with generic usage message without |
|
telling saying these two options are incompatible. |
|
|
|
* "git log --author/--committer" match used to potentially match the |
|
timestamp part, exposing internal implementation detail. Also these did |
|
not work with --fixed-strings match at all. |
