You can choose -what should happen upon such a push by setting the configuration -variable receive.denyCurrentBranch in the receiving repository. - -To ease the transition plan, the receiving repository of such a -push running this release will issue a big warning when the -configuration variable is missing. Please refer to: - - http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#non-bare - https://lore.kernel.org/git/7vbptlsuyv.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org/ - -for more details on the reason why this change is needed and the -transition plan. - -For a similar reason, "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch -$killed in a remote repository $there, if $killed branch is the current -branch pointed at by its HEAD, gets a large warning. You can choose what -should happen upon such a push by setting the configuration variable -receive.denyDeleteCurrent in the receiving repository. - - -Updates since v1.6.1 --------------------- - -(subsystems) - -* git-svn updates. - -* gitweb updates, including a new patch view and RSS/Atom feed - improvements. - -* (contrib/emacs) git.el now has commands for checking out a branch, - creating a branch, cherry-picking and reverting commits; vc-git.el - is not shipped with git anymore (it is part of official Emacs). - -(performance) - -* pack-objects autodetects the number of CPUs available and uses threaded - version. - -(usability, bells and whistles) - -* automatic typo correction works on aliases as well - -* @{-1} is a way to refer to the last branch you were on. This is - accepted not only where an object name is expected, but anywhere - a branch name is expected and acts as if you typed the branch name. - E.g. "git branch --track mybranch @{-1}", "git merge @{-1}", and - "git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name @{-1}" would work as expected. - -* When refs/remotes/origin/HEAD points at a remote tracking branch that - has been pruned away, many git operations issued warning when they - internally enumerated the refs. We now warn only when you say "origin" - to refer to that pruned branch. - -* The location of .mailmap file can be configured, and its file format was - enhanced to allow mapping an incorrect e-mail field as well. - -* "git add -p" learned 'g'oto action to jump directly to a hunk. - -* "git add -p" learned to find a hunk with given text with '/'. - -* "git add -p" optionally can be told to work with just the command letter - without Enter. - -* when "git am" stops upon a patch that does not apply, it shows the - title of the offending patch. - -* "git am --directory=<dir>" and "git am --reject" passes these options - to underlying "git apply". - -* "git am" learned --ignore-date option. - -* "git blame" aligns author names better when they are spelled in - non US-ASCII encoding. - -* "git clone" now makes its best effort when cloning from an empty - repository to set up configuration variables to refer to the remote - repository. - -* "git checkout -" is a shorthand for "git checkout @{-1}". - -* "git cherry" defaults to whatever the current branch is tracking (if - exists) when the <upstream> argument is not given. - -* "git cvsserver" can be told not to add extra "via git-CVS emulator" to - the commit log message it serves via gitcvs.commitmsgannotation - configuration. - -* "git cvsserver" learned to handle 'noop' command some CVS clients seem - to expect to work. - -* "git diff" learned a new option --inter-hunk-context to coalesce close - hunks together and show context between them. - -* The definition of what constitutes a word for "git diff --color-words" - can be customized via gitattributes, command line or a configuration. - -* "git diff" learned --patience to run "patience diff" algorithm. - -* "git filter-branch" learned --prune-empty option that discards commits - that do not change the contents. - -* "git fsck" now checks loose objects in alternate object stores, instead - of misreporting them as missing. - -* "git gc --prune" was resurrected to allow "git gc --no-prune" and - giving non-default expiration period e.g. "git gc --prune=now". - -* "git grep -w" and "git grep" for fixed strings have been optimized. - -* "git mergetool" learned -y(--no-prompt) option to disable prompting. - -* "git rebase -i" can transplant a history down to root to elsewhere - with --root option. - -* "git reset --merge" is a new mode that works similar to the way - "git checkout" switches branches, taking the local changes while - switching to another commit. - -* "git submodule update" learned --no-fetch option. - -* "git tag" learned --contains that works the same way as the same option - from "git branch". - - -Fixes since v1.6.1 ------------------- - -All of the fixes in v1.6.1.X maintenance series are included in this -release, unless otherwise noted. - -Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to -v1.6.1.X series. - -* "git-add sub/file" when sub is a submodule incorrectly added the path to - the superproject. - -* "git bundle" did not exclude annotated tags even when a range given - from the command line wanted to. - -* "git filter-branch" unnecessarily refused to work when you had - checked out a different commit from what is recorded in the superproject - index in a submodule. - -* "git filter-branch" incorrectly tried to update a nonexistent work tree - at the end when it is run in a bare repository. - -* "git gc" did not work if your repository was created with an ancient git - and never had any pack files in it before. - -* "git mergetool" used to ignore autocrlf and other attributes - based content rewriting. - -* branch switching and merges had a silly bug that did not validate - the correct directory when making sure an existing subdirectory is - clean. - -* "git -p cmd" when cmd is not a built-in one left the display in funny state - when killed in the middle. |
