Git v1.7.10 Release Notes
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v1.7.9
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* Improved handling of views, labels and branches in git-p4 (in contrib).
|
|
|
|
* "vcs-svn"/"svn-fe" learned to read dumps with svn-deltas and
|
|
support incremental imports.
|
|
|
|
* "git am" learned to pass "-b" option to underlying "git mailinfo", so
|
|
that bracketed string other than "PATCH" at the beginning can be kept.
|
|
|
|
* "git clone" learned "--single-branch" option to limit cloning to a
|
|
single branch (surprise!).
|
|
|
|
* "git clone" learned to detach the HEAD in the resulting repository
|
|
when the source repository's HEAD does not point to a branch.
|
|
|
|
* When showing a patch while ignoring whitespace changes, the context
|
|
lines are taken from the postimage, in order to make it easier to
|
|
view the output.
|
|
|
|
* "git merge" in an interactive session learned to spawn the editor
|
|
by default to let the user edit the auto-generated merge message,
|
|
to encourage people to explain their merges better. Legacy scripts
|
|
can export MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no to retain the historical behaviour.
|
|
|
|
* "gitweb" allows intermediate entries in the directory hierarchy
|
|
that leads to a projects to be clicked, which in turn shows the
|
|
list of projects inside that directory.
|
|
|
|
Performance
|
|
|
|
* During "git upload-pack" in respose to "git fetch", unnecessary calls
|
|
to parse_object() have been eliminated, to help performance in
|
|
repositories with excessive number of refs.
|
|
|
|
Internal Implementation
|
|
|
|
* Recursive call chains in "git index-pack" to deal with long delta
|
|
chains have been flattened, to reduce the stack footprint.
|
|
|
|
* Use of add_extra_ref() API is slowly getting removed, to make it
|
|
possible to cleanly restructure the overall refs API.
|
|
|
|
* The test suite supports the new "test_pause" helper function.
|
|
|
|
* t/Makefile is adjusted to prevent newer versions of GNU make from
|
|
running tests in seemingly random order.
|
|
|
|
Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.7.9
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.7.9 in the maintenance
|
|
releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
|
|
details).
|
|
|
|
* "add -e" learned not to show a diff for an otherwise unmodified
|
|
submodule that only has uncommitted local changes in the patch
|
|
prepared by for the user to edit.
|
|
(merge 701825d js/add-e-submodule-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "rebase" and "commit --amend" failed to work on commits with ancient
|
|
timestamps near year 1970.
|
|
(merge 2c733fb jc/parse-date-raw later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git merge --ff-only $tag" failed because it cannot record the
|
|
required mergetag without creating a merge, but this is so common
|
|
operation for branch that is used _only_ to follow the upstream, so
|
|
it is allowed to fast-forward without recording the mergetag.
|
|
(merge b5c9f1c jc/merge-ff-only-stronger-than-signed-merge later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Typo in "git branch --edit-description my-tpoic" was not diagnosed.
|
|
(merge c2d17ba jc/branch-desc-typoavoidance later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* rpmbuild noticed an unpackaged but installed *.mo file and failed.
|
|
(merge 3a9f58c jn/rpm-spec later to maint).
