Git v1.7.8 Release Notes (draft) |
|
================================ |
|
|
|
Updates since v1.7.7 |
|
-------------------- |
|
|
|
* Some git-svn and git-gui updates. |
|
|
|
* The build procedure has been taught to take advantage of computed |
|
dependency automatically when the complier supports it. |
|
|
|
* The date parser now accepts timezone designators that lack minutes |
|
part and also has a colon between "hh:mm". |
|
|
|
* On some BSD systems, adding +s bit on directories is detrimental |
|
(it is not necessary on BSD to begin with). The installation |
|
procedure has been updated to take this into account. |
|
|
|
* The contents of the /etc/mailname file, if exists, is used as the |
|
default value of the hostname part of the committer/author e-mail. |
|
|
|
* "git am" learned how to read from patches generated by Hg. |
|
|
|
* "git archive" talking with a remote repository can report errors |
|
from the remote side in a more informative way. |
|
|
|
* "git branch" learned an explicit --list option to ask for branches |
|
listed, optionally with a glob matching pattern to limit its output. |
|
|
|
* "git check-attr" learned "--cached" option to look at .gitattributes |
|
files from the index, not from the working tree. |
|
|
|
* Variants of "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" that take multiple |
|
commits learned to "--continue". |
|
|
|
* Errors at the network layer is logged by "git daemon". |
|
|
|
* "git diff" learned "--minimal" option to spend extra cycles to come |
|
up with a minimal patch output. |
|
|
|
* "git fetch" learned to honor transfer.fsckobjects configuration to |
|
validate the objects that were received from the other end, just like |
|
"git receive-pack" (the receiving end of "git push") does. |
|
|
|
* "git fetch" makes sure that the set of objects it received from the |
|
other end actually completes the history before updating the refs. |
|
"git receive-pack" (the receiving end of "git push") learned to do the |
|
same. |
|
|
|
* "git for-each-ref" learned "%(contents:subject)", "%(contents:body)" |
|
and "%(contents:signature)". The last one is useful for signed tags. |
|
|
|
* "git grep" used to incorrectly pay attention to .gitignore files |
|
scattered in the directory it was working in even when "--no-index" |
|
option was used. It no longer does this. The "--exclude-standard" |
|
option needs to be given to explicitly activate the ignore |
|
mechanism. |
|
|
|
* "git grep" learned "--untracked" option, where given patterns are |
|
searched in untracked (but not ignored) files as well as tracked |
|
files in the working tree, so that matches in new but not yet |
|
added files do not get missed. |
|
|
|
* "git ls-remote" learned to respond to "-h"(elp) requests. |
|
|
|
* "git send-email" learned to respond to "-h"(elp) requests. |
|
|
|
* "git send-email" allows the value given to sendemail.aliasfile to begin |
|
with "~/" to refer to the $HOME directory. |
|
|
|
* "git send-email" forces use of Authen::SASL::Perl to work around |
|
issues between Authen::SASL::Cyrus and AUTH PLAIN/LOGIN. |
|
|
|
* "git stash" learned "--include-untracked" option to stash away |
|
untracked/ignored cruft from the working tree. |
|
|
|
* "git submodule update" learned to honor "none" as the value for |
|
submodule.<name>.update to specify that the named submodule should |
|
not be checked out by default. |
|
|
|
* When populating a new submodule directory with "git submodule init", |
|
the $GIT_DIR metainformation directory for submodules is created inside |
|
$GIT_DIR/modules/<name>/ directory of the superproject and referenced |
|
via the gitfile mechanism. This is to make it possible to switch |
|
between commits in the superproject that has and does not have the |
|
submodule in the tree without re-cloning. |
|
|
|
* "mediawiki" remote helper can interact with (surprise!) MediaWiki |
|
with "git fetch" & "git push". |
|
|
|
* "gitweb" leaked unescaped control characters from syntax hiliter |
|
outputs. |
|
|
|
|
|
Also contains other documentation updates and minor code cleanups. |
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.7.7 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
Unless otherwise noted, all fixes in the 1.7.7.X maintenance track are |
|
included in this release. |
|
|
|
* We used to drop error messages from libcurl on certain kinds of |
|
errors. |
|
(merge be22d92eac8 jn/maint-http-error-message later to maint). |
|
|
|
* Error report from smart HTTP transport, when the connection was |
|
broken in the middle of a transfer, showed a useless message on |
|
a corrupt packet. |
|
(merge 6cdf022 sp/smart-http-failure later to maint). |
|
|
|
* Adding many refs to the local repository in one go (e.g. "git fetch" |
|
that fetches many tags) and looking up a ref by name in a repository |
|
with too many refs were unnecessarily slow. |
|
(merge 17d68a54d jp/get-ref-dir-unsorted later to maint). |
|
|
|
* After incorrectly written third-party tools store a tag object in |
|
HEAD, git diagnosed it as a repository corruption and refused to |
|
proceed in order to avoid spreading the damage. We now gracefully |
|
recover from such a situation by pretending as if the commit that |
|
is pointed at by the tag were in HEAD. |
|
(merge baf18fc nd/maint-autofix-tag-in-head later to maint). |
|
|
|
* "git apply --whitespace=error" did not bother to report the exact |
|
line number in the patch that introduced new blank lines at the end |
|
of the file. |
|
(merge 8557263 jc/apply-blank-at-eof-fix later to maint). |
|
|
|
|
|
* "git remote rename $a $b" were not careful to match the remote name |
|
against $a (i.e. source side of the remote nickname). |
|
(merge b52d00aed mz/remote-rename later to maint). |
|
|
|
* "git diff --[num]stat" used to use the number of lines of context |
|
different from the default, potentially giving different results from |
|
"git diff | diffstat" and confusing the users. |
|
(merge f01cae918 jc/maint-diffstat-numstat-context later to maint). |
|
|
|
* "git merge" did not understand ":/<pattern>" as a way to name a commit. |
|
|
|
* "git mergetool" learned to use its arguments as pathspec, not a path to |
|
the file that may not even have any conflict. |
|
(merge 6d9990a jm/mergetool-pathspec later to maint). |
|
|
|
* "gitweb" used to produce a non-working link while showing the contents |
|
of a blob, when JavaScript actions are enabled. |
|
(merge 2b07ff3ff ps/gitweb-js-with-lineno later to maint). |
