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. - -When the user does not tell "git push" what to push, it has always -pushed matching refs. For some people it is unexpected, and a new -configuration variable push.default has been introduced to allow -changing a different default behaviour. To advertise the new feature, -a big warning is issued if this is not configured and a git push without -arguments is attempted. - - -Updates since v1.6.2 --------------------- - -(subsystems) - -* various git-svn updates. - -* git-gui updates, including an update to Russian translation, and a - fix to an infinite loop when showing an empty diff. - -* gitk updates, including an update to Russian translation and improved Windows - support. - -(performance) - -* many uses of lstat(2) in the codepath for "git checkout" have been - optimized out. - -(usability, bells and whistles) - -* Boolean configuration variable yes/no can be written as on/off. - -* rsync:/path/to/repo can be used to run git over rsync for local - repositories. It may not be useful in practice; meant primarily for - testing. - -* http transport learned to prompt and use password when fetching from or - pushing to http://user@host.xz/ URL. - -* (msysgit) progress output that is sent over the sideband protocol can - be handled appropriately in Windows console. - -* "--pretty=<style>" option to the log family of commands can now be - spelled as "--format=<style>". In addition, --format=%formatstring - is a short-hand for --pretty=tformat:%formatstring. - -* "--oneline" is a synonym for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit". - -* "--graph" to the "git log" family can draw the commit ancestry graph - in colors. - -* If you realize that you botched the patch when you are editing hunks - with the 'edit' action in git-add -i/-p, you can abort the editor to - tell git not to apply it. - -* @{-1} is a new way to refer to the last branch you were on introduced in - 1.6.2, but the initial implementation did not teach this to a few - commands. Now the syntax works with "branch -m @{-1} newname". - -* git-archive learned --output=<file> option. - -* git-archive takes attributes from the tree being archived; strictly - speaking, this is an incompatible behaviour change, but is a good one. - Use --worktree-attributes option to allow it to read attributes from - the work tree as before (deprecated git-tar tree command always reads - attributes from the work tree). - -* git-bisect shows not just the number of remaining commits whose goodness - is unknown, but also shows the estimated number of remaining rounds. - -* You can give --date=<format> option to git-blame. - -* "git-branch -r" shows HEAD symref that points at a remote branch in - interest of each tracked remote repository. - -* "git-branch -v -v" is a new way to get list of names for branches and the - "upstream" branch for them. - -* git-config learned -e option to open an editor to edit the config file - directly. - -* git-clone runs post-checkout hook when run without --no-checkout. - -* git-difftool is now part of the officially supported command, primarily - maintained by David Aguilar. - -* git-for-each-ref learned a new "upstream" token. - -* git-format-patch can be told to use attachment with a new configuration, - format.attach. - -* git-format-patch can be told to produce deep or shallow message threads. - -* git-format-patch can be told to always add sign-off with a configuration - variable. - -* git-format-patch learned format.headers configuration to add extra - header fields to the output. This behaviour is similar to the existing - --add-header=<header> option of the command. - -* git-format-patch gives human readable names to the attached files, when - told to send patches as attachments. - -* git-grep learned to highlight the found substrings in color. - -* git-imap-send learned to work around Thunderbird's inability to easily - disable format=flowed with a new configuration, imap.preformattedHTML. - -* git-rebase can be told to rebase the series even if your branch is a - descendant of the commit you are rebasing onto with --force-rebase - option. - -* git-rebase can be told to report diffstat with the --stat option. - -* Output from git-remote command has been vastly improved. - -* "git remote update --prune $remote" updates from the named remote and - then prunes stale tracking branches. - -* git-send-email learned --confirm option to review the Cc: list before - sending the messages out. - -(developers) - -* Test scripts can be run under valgrind. - -* Test scripts can be run with installed git. - -* Makefile learned 'coverage' option to run the test suites with - coverage tracking enabled. - -* Building the manpages with docbook-xsl between 1.69.1 and 1.71.1 now - requires setting DOCBOOK_SUPPRESS_SP to work around a docbook-xsl bug. - This workaround used to be enabled by default, but causes problems - with newer versions of docbook-xsl. In addition, there are a few more - knobs you can tweak to work around issues with various versions of the - docbook-xsl package. See comments in Documentation/Makefile for details. - -* Support for building and testing a subset of git on a system without a - working perl has been improved. - - -Fixes since v1.6.2 ------------------- - -All of the fixes in v1.6.2.X maintenance series are included in this -release, unless otherwise noted. - -Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to -v1.6.2.X series. - -* "git-apply" rejected a patch that swaps two files (i.e. renames A to B - and B to A at the same time). May need to be backported by cherry - picking d8c81df and then 7fac0ee). - -* The initial checkout did not read the attributes from the .gitattribute - file that is being checked out. - -* git-gc spent excessive amount of time to decide if an object appears - in a locally existing pack (if needed, backport by merging 69e020a). |
