GIT v1.5.2 Release Notes (draft)
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v1.5.1
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* New commands and options.
|
|
|
|
- "git bisect start" can optionally take a single bad commit and
|
|
zero or more good commits on the command line.
|
|
|
|
* Updated behavior of existing commands.
|
|
|
|
- "git diff --stat" shows size of preimage and postimage blobs
|
|
for binary contents. Earlier it only said "Bin".
|
|
|
|
- "git lost-found" shows stuff that are unreachable except
|
|
from reflogs.
|
|
|
|
- "git checkout branch^0" now detaches HEAD at the tip commit
|
|
on the named branch, instead of just switching to the
|
|
branch (use "git checkout branch" to switch to the branch,
|
|
as before).
|
|
|
|
- "git bisect next" can be used after giving only a bad commit
|
|
without giving a good one (this starts bisection half-way to
|
|
the root commit). We used to refuse to operate without a
|
|
good and a bad commit.
|
|
|
|
* Builds
|
|
|
|
- git-p4import has never been installed; now there is an
|
|
installation option to do so.
|
|
|
|
- gitk and git-gui can be configured out.
|
|
|
|
- Generated documentation pages automatically get version
|
|
information from GIT_VERSION
|
|
|
|
- Parallel build with "make -j" descending into subdirectory
|
|
was fixed.
|
|
|
|
* Performance Tweaks
|
|
|
|
- optimized "git-rev-list --bisect" (hence "git-bisect").
|
|
|
|
- optimized "git-add $path" in a large directory, most of
|
|
whose contents are ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.5.1
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The following are all in v1.5.1.x series, unless otherwise noted.
|
|
|
|
* Documentation updates
|
|
|
|
* Bugfixes
|
|
|
|
- Switching branches with "git checkout" refused to work when
|
|
a path changes from a file to a directory between the
|
|
current branch and the new branch, in order not to lose
|
|
possible local changes in the directory that is being turned
|
|
into a file with the switch. We now allow such a branch
|
|
switch after making sure that there is no locally modified
|
|
file nor un-ignored file in the directory. This has not
|
|
been backported to 1.5.1.x series, as it is rather an
|
|
intrusive change.
