They now show all, + in a format that is easier to read. + + * "git clean" learned "-e" ("--exclude") option. + + * Hunk headers produced for C# files by "git diff" and friends show more + relevant context than before. + + * diff.ignoresubmodules configuration variable can be used to squelch the + differences in submodules reported when running commands (e.g. "diff", + "status", etc.) at the superproject level. + + * http.useragent configuration can be used to lie who you are to your + restrictive firewall. + + * "git rebase --strategy <s>" learned "-X" option to pass extra options + that are understood by the chosen merge strategy. + + * "git rebase -i" learned "exec" that you can insert into the insn sheet + to run a command between its steps. + + * "git rebase" between branches that have many binary changes that do + not conflict should be faster. + + * "git rebase -i" peeks into rebase.autosquash configuration and acts as + if you gave --autosquash from the command line. + + +Also contains various documentation updates. + + +Fixes since v1.7.2 +------------------ + +All of the fixes in v1.7.2.X maintenance series are included in this +release, unless otherwise noted. + + * "git merge -s recursive" (which is the default) did not handle cases + where a directory becomes a file (or vice versa) very well. + + * "git fetch" and friends were accidentally broken for url with "+" in + its path, e.g. "git://git.gnome.org/gtk+". + + * "git fetch $url" (i.e. without refspecs) was broken for quite some + time, if the current branch happen to be tracking some remote. + + * "git ls-tree dir dirgarbage", when "dir" was a directory, + incorrectly recursed into "dir". + + * "git note remove" created unnecessary extra commit when named object + did not have any note to begin with. + + * "git rebase" did not work well if you had diff.noprefix configured. + + * "git -c foo=bar subcmd" did not work well for subcmd that is not + implemented as a built-in command. |
