Git v1.7.2 Release Notes (draft) |
|
================================ |
|
|
|
Updates since v1.7.1 |
|
-------------------- |
|
|
|
* The whitespace rules used in "git apply --whitespace" and "git diff" |
|
gained a new member in the family (tab-in-indent) to help projects with |
|
policy to indent only with spaces. |
|
|
|
* When working from a subdirectory, by default, git does not look for its |
|
metadirectory ".git" across filesystems, primarily to help people who |
|
have invocations of git in their custom PS1 prompts, as being outside |
|
of a git repository would look for ".git" all the way up to the root |
|
directory, and NFS mounts are often slow. DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM |
|
environment variable can be used to tell git not to stop at a |
|
filesystem boundary. |
|
|
|
* "git" wrapper learned "-c name=value" option to override configuration |
|
variable from the command line. |
|
|
|
* The message from "git am -3" has been improved when conflict |
|
resolution ended up making the patch a no-op. |
|
|
|
* "git checkout --orphan newbranch" is similar to "-b newbranch" but |
|
prepares to create a root commit that is not connected to any existing |
|
commit. |
|
|
|
* "git commit --amend" on a commit with an invalid author-name line that |
|
lacks the display name didn't work (fb7749e4). |
|
|
|
* "git cvsserver" can be told to use pserver; its password file can be |
|
stored outside the repository. |
|
|
|
* The output from the textconv filter used by "git diff" can be cached to |
|
speed up their reuse. |
|
|
|
* "git diff --word-diff=<mode>" extends the existing "--color-words" |
|
option, making it more useful in color-challenged environments. |
|
|
|
* The regexp to detect function headers used by "git diff" for PHP has |
|
been enhanced for visibility modifiers (public, protected, etc.) to |
|
better support PHP5. |
|
|
|
* "diff.noprefix" configuration variable can be used to implicitly |
|
ask for "diff --no-prefix" behaviour. |
|
|
|
* "git for-each-ref" learned "%(objectname:short)" that gives the object |
|
name abbreviated. |
|
|
|
* Various options to "git grep" (e.g. --count, --name-only) work better |
|
with binary files. |
|
|
|
* "git help -w" learned "chrome" and "chromium" browsers. |
|
|
|
* "git log --follow <path>" follows across copies (it used to only follow |
|
renames). This may make the processing more expensive. |
|
|
|
* "git ls-files ../out/side/cwd" works now. |
|
|
|
* "git notes prune" learned "-n" (dry-run) and "-v" options, similar to |
|
what "git prune" has. |
|
|
|
* "git patch-id" can be fed a mbox without getting confused by the |
|
signature line in the format-patch output. |
|
|
|
* "git remote" learned "set-branches" subcommand. |
|
|
|
* "git revert" learned --strategy option to specify the merge strategy. |
|
|
|
* "git status [-s] --ignored" can be used to list ignored paths. |
|
|
|
* "git status -s -b" shows the current branch in the output. |
|
|
|
* Various "gitweb" enhancements and clean-ups, including syntax |
|
highlighting, "plackup" support for instaweb, etc. |
|

Fixes since v1.7.1 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
All of the fixes in v1.7.1.X maintenance series are included in this |
|
release, unless otherwise noted. |
|
|
|
* We didn't URL decode "file:///path/to/repo" correctly when path/to/repo |
|
had percent-encoded characters (638794c, 9d2e942). |
|
|
|
* "git clone/fetch/pull" issued an incorrect error message when a ref and |
|
a symref that points to the ref were updated at the same time. This |
|
obviously would update them to the same value, and should not result in |
|
an error condition (7223dcaf). |
|
|
|
* "git clone" did not configure remote.origin.url correctly for bare |
|
clones (df61c889). |
|
|
|
* "git diff --graph" works better with "--color-words" and other options |
|
(81fa024..4297c0a). |
|
|
|
* "git diff" could show ambiguous abbreviation of blob object names on |
|
its "index" line (3e5a188). |
|
|
|
* "git merge --log" used to replace the custom message given by "-m" with |
|
the shortlog, instead of appending to it (tc/merge-m-log). |
|
|
|
* "git reset --hard" started from a wrong directory and a working tree in |
|
a nonstandard location is in use got confused (560fb6a1). |
|
|
|
* "git show -C -C" and other corner cases lost diff metainfo output |
|
in 1.7.0 (296c6bb). |
