Git v1.7.12 Release Notes
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v1.7.11
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* "git help" used to always default to "man" format even on platforms
|
|
where "man" viewer is not widely available.
|
|
|
|
* "git clone --local $path" started its life as an experiment to
|
|
optionally use link/copy when cloning a repository on the disk, but
|
|
we didn't deprecate it after we made the option a no-op to always
|
|
use the optimization. The command learned "--no-local" option to
|
|
turn this off, as a more explicit alternative over use of file://
|
|
URL.
|
|
|
|
* git native protocol agents learned to show software version over
|
|
the wire, so that the server log can be examined to see the vintage
|
|
distribution of clients.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Foreign Interface
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, etc. (please report possible regressions)
|
|
|
|
* Some tests showed false failures caused by a bug in ecryptofs.
|
|
|
|
* We no longer use AsciiDoc7 syntax in our documentation and favor a
|
|
more modern style.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.7.11
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.7.11 in the maintenance
|
|
releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
|
|
details).
|
|
|
|
* The documentation for "git cherry-pick A B..C" was misleading.
|
|
(merge b98878e cn/cherry-pick-range-docs later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git archive" incorrectly computed the header checksum; the symptom
|
|
was observed only when using pathnames with hi-bit set.
|
|
(merge a5a46eb jc/ustar-checksum-is-unsigned later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Running "git bundle verify" on a bundle that records a complete
|
|
history said "it requires these 0 commits".
|
|
(merge 8c3710f jc/bundle-complete-notice later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git ls-files --exclude=t -i" did not consider anything under t/ as
|
|
excluded, as it did not pay attention to exclusion of leading paths
|
|
while walking the index. Other two users of excluded() are also
|
|
updated.
|
|
(merge 0d316f0 jc/ls-files-i-dir later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git request-pull $url dev" when the tip of "dev" branch was tagged
|
|
with "ext4-for-linus" used the contents from the tag in the output
|
|
but still asked the "dev" branch to be pulled, not the tag.
|
|
(merge 682853e jc/request-pull-match-tagname later to maint).
