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.

Similarly updated test scripts to use - encoding names more widely understood (e.g. use "ISO8859-1" instead - of "ISO-8859-1"). - - * Various portability fixes/workarounds for different vintages of - SunOS, IRIX, and Windows. - - * Git-over-ssh transport on Windows supports PuTTY plink and TortoisePlink. - -(performance) - - * Many repeated use of lstat() are optimized out in "checkout" codepath. - - * git-status (and underlying git-diff-index --cached) are optimized - to take advantage of cache-tree information in the index. - -(usability, bells and whistles) - - * "git add --edit" lets users edit the whole patch text to fine-tune what - is added to the index. - - * "git am" accepts StGIT series file as its input. - - * "git bisect skip" skips to a more randomly chosen place in the hope - to avoid testing a commit that is too close to a commit that is - already known to be untestable. - - * "git cvsexportcommit" learned -k option to stop CVS keywords expansion - - * "git fast-export" learned to handle history simplification more - gracefully. - - * "git fast-export" learned an option --tag-of-filtered-object to handle - dangling tags resulting from history simplification more usefully. - - * "git grep" learned -p option to show the location of the match using the - same context hunk marker "git diff" uses. - - * https transport can optionally be told that the used client - certificate is password protected, in which case it asks the - password only once. - - * "git imap-send" is IPv6 aware. - - * "git log --graph" draws graphs more compactly by using horizontal lines - when able. - - * "git log --decorate" shows shorter refnames by stripping well-known - refs/* prefix. - - * "git push $name" honors remote.$name.pushurl if present before - using remote.$name.url. In other words, the URL used for fetching - and pushing can be different. - - * "git send-email" understands quoted aliases in .mailrc files (might - have to be backported to 1.6.3.X). - - * "git send-email" can fetch the sender address from the configuration - variable "sendmail.from" (and "sendmail.<identity>.from"). - - * "git show-branch" can color its output. - - * "add" and "update" subcommands to "git submodule" learned --reference - option to use local clone with references. - - * "git submodule update" learned --rebase option to update checked - out submodules by rebasing the local changes. - - * "gitweb" can optionally use gravatar to adorn author/committer names. - -(developers) - - * A major part of the "git bisect" wrapper has moved to C. - - * Formatting with the new version of AsciiDoc 8.4.1 is now supported. - -Fixes since v1.6.3 ------------------- - -All of the fixes in v1.6.3.X maintenance series are included in this -release, unless otherwise noted. - -Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to -v1.6.3.X series. - - * "git diff-tree -r -t" used to omit new or removed directories from - the output. df533f3 (diff-tree -r -t: include added/removed - directories in the output, 2009-06-13) may need to be cherry-picked - to backport this fix. - - * The way Git.pm sets up a Repository object was not friendly to callers - that chdir around. It now internally records the repository location - as an absolute path when autodetected. - - * Removing a section with "git config --remove-section", when its - section header has a variable definition on the same line, lost - that variable definition. - - * "git rebase -p --onto" used to always leave side branches of a merge - intact, even when both branches are subject to rewriting. - - * "git repack" used to faithfully follow grafts and considered true - parents recorded in the commit object unreachable from the commit. - After such a repacking, you cannot remove grafts without corrupting - the repository. - - * "git send-email" did not detect erroneous loops in alias expansion. |
