This means bookmarks to some HTML documentation - files may need to be updated (eg "tutorial.html" became - "gittutorial.html"). - -(performance) - -* "git clone" was rewritten in C. This will hopefully help cloning a - repository with insane number of refs. - -* "git rebase --onto $there $from $branch" used to switch to the tip of - $branch only to immediately reset back to $from, smudging work tree - files unnecessarily. This has been optimized. - -* Object creation codepath in "git-svn" has been optimized by enhancing - plumbing commands git-cat-file and git-hash-object. - -(usability, bells and whistles) - -* "git add -p" (and the "patch" subcommand of "git add -i") can choose to - apply (or not apply) mode changes independently from contents changes. - -* "git bisect help" gives longer and more helpful usage information. - -* "git bisect" does not use a special branch "bisect" anymore; instead, it - does its work on a detached HEAD. - -* "git branch" (and "git checkout -b") can be told to set up - branch.<name>.rebase automatically, so that later you can say "git pull" - and magically cause "git pull --rebase" to happen. - -* "git branch --merged" and "git branch --no-merged" can be used to list - branches that have already been merged (or not yet merged) to the - current branch. - -* "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can add a sign-off. - -* "git commit" mentions the author identity when you are committing - somebody else's changes. - -* "git diff/log --dirstat" output is consistent between binary and textual - changes. - -* "git filter-branch" rewrites signed tags by demoting them to annotated. - -* "git format-patch --no-binary" can produce a patch that lack binary - changes (i.e. cannot be used to propagate the whole changes) meant only - for reviewing. - -* "git init --bare" is a synonym for "git --bare init" now. - -* "git gc --auto" honors a new pre-auto-gc hook to temporarily disable it. - -* "git log --pretty=tformat:<custom format>" gives a LF after each entry, - instead of giving a LF between each pair of entries which is how - "git log --pretty=format:<custom format>" works. - -* "git log" and friends learned the "--graph" option to show the ancestry - graph at the left margin of the output. - -* "git log" and friends can be told to use date format that is different - from the default via 'log.date' configuration variable. - -* "git send-email" now can send out messages outside a git repository. - -* "git send-email --compose" was made aware of rfc2047 quoting. - -* "git status" can optionally include output from "git submodule - summary". - -* "git svn" learned --add-author-from option to propagate the authorship - by munging the commit log message. - -* new object creation and looking up in "git svn" has been optimized. - -* "gitweb" can read from a system-wide configuration file. - -(internal) - -* "git unpack-objects" and "git receive-pack" is now more strict about - detecting breakage in the objects they receive over the wire. - - -Fixes since v1.5.5 ------------------- - -All of the fixes in v1.5.5 maintenance series are included in -this release, unless otherwise noted. - -And there are too numerous small fixes to otherwise note here ;-) |
