GIT v1.5.3 Release Notes (draft)
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v1.5.2
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* An initial interation of Porcelain level superproject support
|
|
started to take shape.
|
|
|
|
* Thee are a handful pack-objects changes to help you cope better with
|
|
repositories with pathologically large blobs in them.
|
|
|
|
* New commands and options.
|
|
|
|
- "git-submodule" command helps you manage the projects from
|
|
the superproject that contain them.
|
|
|
|
- In addition to core.compression configuration option,
|
|
core.loosecompression and pack.compression options can
|
|
independently tweak zlib compression levels used for loose
|
|
and packed objects.
|
|
|
|
- "git-ls-tree -l" shows size of blobs pointed at by the
|
|
tree entries, similar to "/bin/ls -l".
|
|
|
|
- "git-rev-list" learned --regexp-ignore-case and
|
|
--extended-regexp options to tweak its matching logic used
|
|
for --grep fitering.
|
|
|
|
- "git-describe --contains" is a handier way to call more
|
|
obscure command "git-name-rev --tags".
|
|
|
|
- "git gc --aggressive" tells the command to spend more cycles
|
|
to optimize the repository harder.
|
|
|
|
- "git repack" can be told to split resulting packs to avoid
|
|
exceeding limit specified with "--max-pack-size".
|
|
|
|
* Updated behavior of existing commands.
|
|
|
|
- "git push" pretends that you immediately fetched back from
|
|
the remote by updating corresponding remote tracking
|
|
branches if you have any.
|
|
|
|
- The diffstat given after a merge (or a pull) honors the
|
|
color.diff configuration.
|
|
|
|
- "git-apply --whitespace=strip" removes blank lines added at
|
|
the end of the file.
|
|
|
|
- fetch over git native protocols with -v shows connection
|
|
status, and the IP address of the other end, to help
|
|
diagnosing problems.
|
|
|
|
- core.legacyheaders is no more, although we still can read
|
|
objects created in a new loose object format.
|
|
|
|
- "git-mailsplit" (hence "git-am") can read from Maildir
|
|
formatted mailboxes.
|
|
|
|
- "git cvsserver" does not barf upon seeing "cvs login"
|
|
request.
|
|
|
|
- "pack-objects" honors "delta" attribute set in
|
|
.gitattributes. It does not attempt to deltify blobs that
|
|
come from paths with delta attribute set to false.
|
|
|
|
- new-workdir script (in contrib) can now be used with a bare
|
|
repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Builds
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
* Performance Tweaks
|
|
|
|
- git-pack-objects avoids re-deltification cost by caching
|
|
small enough delta results it creates while looking for the
|
|
best delta candidates.
|
|
|
|
- diff-delta code that is used for packing has been improved
|
|
to work better on big files.
|
|
|
|
- when there are more than one pack files in the repository,
|
|
the runtime used to try finding an object always from the
|
|
newest packfile; it now tries the same packfile as we found
|
|
the object requested the last time, which exploits the
|
|
locality of references.
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.5.2
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
All of the fixes in v1.5.2 maintenance series are included in
|
|
this release, unless otherwise noted.
|
|
|
|
* Bugfixes
|
|
|
|
- .... This has not
|
|
been backported to 1.5.2.x series, as it is rather an
|
|
intrusive change.
