GIT v1.5.4 Release Notes |
|
======================== |
|
|
|
Updates since v1.5.3 |
|
-------------------- |
|
|
|
* Comes with much improved gitk. |
|
|
|
* "progress display" from many commands are a lot nicer to the |
|
eye. Transfer commands show throughput data. |
|
|
|
* git-reset is now built-in and its output can be squelched with -q. |
|
|
|
* git-send-email can optionally talk over ssmtp and use SMTP-AUTH. |
|
|
|
* git-rebase learned --whitespace option. |
|
|
|
* git-remote knows --mirror mode. |
|
|
|
* git-merge can call the "post-merge" hook. |
|
|
|
* git-pack-objects can optionally run deltification with multiple threads. |
|
|
|
* git-archive can optionally substitute keywords in files marked with |
|
export-subst attribute. |
|
|
|
* git-for-each-ref learned %(xxxdate:<dateformat>) syntax to |
|
show the various date fields in different formats. |
|
|
|
* git-gc --auto is a low-impact way to automatically run a |
|
variant of git-repack that does not lose unreferenced objects |
|
(read: safer than the usual one) after the user accumulates |
|
too many loose objects. |
|
|
|
* You need to explicitly set clean.requireForce to "false" to allow |
|
git-clean to do any damage (lack of the configuration variable |
|
used to mean "do not require", but we now use the safer default). |
|
|
|
* git-push has been rewritten in C. |
|
|
|
* git-push learned --dry-run option to show what would happen |
|
if a push is run. |
|
|
|
* git-remote learned "rm" subcommand. |
|
|
|
* git-rebase --interactive mode can now work on detached HEAD. |
|
|
|
* git-cvsserver can be run via git-shell. |
|
|
|
* git-am and git-rebase are far less verbose. |
|
|
|
* git-pull learned to pass --[no-]ff option to underlying git-merge. |
|
|
|
* Various Perforce importer updates. |
|
|
|
* git-lost-found was deprecated in favor of git-fsck's --lost-found |
|
option. |
|
|
|
* "git log" learned --early-output option to help interactive |
|
GUI implementations. |
|
|
|
* git-svnimport was removed in favor of git-svn. |
|
|
|
* git-bisect learned "skip" action to mark untestable commits. |
|
|
|
* git-format-patch learned "format.numbered" configuration variable |
|
to automatically turn --numbered option on when more than one |
|
commits are formatted. |
|
|
|
* git-ls-files learned "--exclude-standard" to use the canned |
|
set of exclude files. |
|
|
|
* git-rebase now detaches head during its operation, so after a |
|
successful "git rebase" operation, the reflog entry branch@{1} |
|
for the current branch points at the commit before the rebase |
|
was started. |
|
|
|
* "git-tag -a -f existing" begins the editor session using the |
|
existing annotation message. |
|
|
|
* "git cvsexportcommit" learned -w option to specify and switch |
|
to the CVS working directory. |
|
|
|
* "git checkout" from a subdirectory learned to use "../path" |
|
to allow checking out a path outside the current directory |
|
without cd'ing up. |
|
|
|
* Output processing for '--pretty=format:<user format>' has |
|
been optimized. |
|
|
|
* Rename detection diff family, while detecting exact matches, |
|
has been greatly optimized. |
|
|
|
* Example update and post-receive hooks have been improved. |
|
|
|
* In addition there are quite a few internal clean-ups. Notably |
|
|
|
- many fork/exec have been replaced with run-command API, |
|
brought from the msysgit effort. |
|
|
|
- introduction and more use of the option parser API. |
|
|
|
- enhancement and more use of the strbuf API. |

Fixes since v1.5.3 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
All of the fixes in v1.5.3 maintenance series are included in |
|
this release, unless otherwise noted. |
|
|
|
* git-svn talking with the SVN over http will correctly quote branch |
|
and project names. |
|
|
|
* "git rev-list --objects A..B" choked when the lower boundary |
|
of the range involved a subproject. This fix is also queued |
|
for 'maint' (but not in there yet). |
