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).
