Git v1.7.4.2 Release Notes
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.7.4.1
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* Many documentation updates to match "git cmd -h" output and the
|
|
git-cmd manual page.
|
|
|
|
* We used to keep one file descriptor open for each and every packfile
|
|
that we have a mmap window on it (read: "in use"), even when for very
|
|
tiny packfiles. We now close the file descriptor early when the entire
|
|
packfile fits inside one mmap window.
|
|
|
|
* "git bisect visualize" tried to run "gitk" in windowing
|
|
environments even when "gitk" is not installed, resulting in a
|
|
strange error message.
|
|
|
|
* "git clone /no/such/path" did not fail correctly.
|
|
|
|
* "git commit" did not correctly error out when the user asked to use a
|
|
non existent file as the commit message template.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff --stat -B" ran on binary files counted the changes in lines,
|
|
which was nonsensical.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff -M" opportunistically detected copies, which was not
|
|
necessarily a good thing, especially when it is internally run by
|
|
recursive merge.
|
|
|
|
* "git difftool" didn't tell (g)vimdiff that the files it is reading are
|
|
to be opened read-only.
|
|
|
|
* "git merge" didn't pay attention to prepare-commit-msg hook, even
|
|
though if a merge is conflicted and manually resolved, the subsequent
|
|
"git commit" would have triggered the hook, which was inconsistent.
|
|
|
|
* "git patch-id" (and commands like "format-patch --ignore-in-upstream"
|
|
that use it as their internal logic) handled changes to files that end
|
|
with incomplete lines incorrectly.
|
|
|
|
* The official value to tell "git push" to push the current branch back
|
|
to update the upstream branch it forked from is now called "upstream".
|
|
The old name "tracking" is and will be supported.
|
|
|
|
* "git submodule update" used to honor the --merge/--rebase option (or
|
|
corresponding configuration variables) even for a newly cloned
|
|
subproject, which made no sense (so/submodule-no-update-first-time).
|
|
|
|
* gitweb's "highlight" interface mishandled tabs.
|
|
|
|
* gitweb didn't understand timezones with GMT offset that is not
|
|
multiple of a whole hour.
|
|
|
|
* gitweb had a few forward-incompatible syntactic constructs and
|
|
also used incorrect variable when showing the file mode in a diff.
|
|
|
|
And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
