UI, Workflows & Features
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Magic pathspecs like ":(icase)makefile" that matches both
|
||||||
|
Makefile and makefile can be used in more places.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The "http.*" variables can now be specified per URL that the
|
||||||
|
configuration applies. For example,
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[http]
|
||||||
|
sslVerify = true
|
||||||
|
[http "https://weak.example.com/"]
|
||||||
|
sslVerify = false
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
would flip http.sslVerify off only when talking to that specified
|
||||||
|
site.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* "git mv A B" when moving a submodule A has been taught to
|
||||||
|
relocate its working tree and to adjust the paths in the
|
||||||
|
.gitmodules file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* "git blame" can now take more than one -L option to discover the
|
||||||
|
origin of multiple blocks of the lines.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The http transport clients can optionally ask to save cookies
|
||||||
|
with http.savecookies configuration variable.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* "git push" learned a more fine grained control over a blunt
|
||||||
|
"--force" when requesting a non-fast-forward update with the
|
||||||
|
"--force-with-lease=<refname>:<expected object name>" option.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* "git diff --diff-filter=<classes of changes>" can now take
|
||||||
|
lowercase letters (e.g. "--diff-filter=d") to mean "show
|
||||||
|
everything but these classes". "git diff-files -q" is now a
|
||||||
|
deprecated synonym for "git diff-files --diff-filter=d".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* "git fetch" (hence "git pull" as well) learned to check
|
||||||
|
"fetch.prune" and "remote.*.prune" configuration variables and
|
||||||
|
to behave as if the "--prune" command line option was given.
|
||||||
|
|

mailmap file ended with an incomplete line.

* We used to send a large request to read(2)/write(2) as a single
|
||||||
|
system call, which was bad from the latency point of view when
|

|
the operation needs to be killed, and also triggered an error on

broken 64-bit systems that refuse to take more than 2GB read or

helper shipped with Git).

outside the given <pathspec> for each commit, instead of showing

the change relative to the parent of the commit. "git reflog -p"

had a similar problem.
