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.
|
|
|
|
* "diff-highlight" filter (in contrib/) was updated to produce more
|
|
aesthetically pleasing output.
|
|
|
|
* "git tag --list" can be given "--points-at <object>" to limit its
|
|
output to those that point at the given object.
|
|
|
|
* "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.
|
|
Both "git merge" and "git pull" can be given --no-edit from the
|
|
command line to accept the auto-generated merge message.
|
|
|
|
* "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 (please report possible regressions)
|
|
|
|
* 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 now gone, to make it possible to
|
|
cleanly restructure the overall refs API.
|
|
|
|
* The command line parser of "git pack-objects" now uses parse-options
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
* "gitweb" used to drop warnings in the log file when "heads" view is
|
|
accessed in a repository whose HEAD does not point at a valid
|
|
branch.
