When using basic plumbing - commands in scripts, this unnecessarily slowed things down. We now - implement http/https/ftp transfer as a separate executable as we - used to. - - * "git clone" run locally hardlinks or copies the files in .git/ to - newly created repository. It used to give new mtime to copied files, - but this delayed garbage collection to trigger unnecessarily in the - cloned repository. We now preserve mtime for these files to avoid - this issue. - -(usability, bells and whistles) - - * Human writable date format to various options, e.g. --since=yesterday, - master@{2000.09.17}, are taught to infer some omitted input properly. - - * A few programs gave verbose "advice" messages to help uninitiated - people when issuing error messages. An infrastructure to allow - users to squelch them has been introduced, and a few such messages - can be silenced now. - - * refs/replace/ hierarchy is designed to be usable as a replacement - of the "grafts" mechanism, with the added advantage that it can be - transferred across repositories. - - * "git am" learned to optionally ignore whitespace differences. - - * "git am" handles input e-mail files that has CRLF line endings sensibly. - - * "git am" learned "--scissors" option to allow you to discard early part - of an incoming e-mail. - - * "git archive -o output.zip" works without being told what format to - use with an explicit "--format=zip".option. - - * "git checkout", "git reset" and "git stash" learned to pick and - choose to use selected changes you made, similar to "git add -p". - - * "git clone" learned a "-b" option to pick a HEAD to check out - different from the remote's default branch. - - * "git clone" learned --recursive option. - - * "git clone" from a local repository on a different filesystem used to - copy individual object files without preserving the old timestamp, giving - them extra lifetime in the new repository until they gc'ed. - - * "git commit --dry-run $args" is a new recommended way to ask "what would - happen if I try to commit with these arguments." - - * "git commit --dry-run" and "git status" shows conflicted paths in a - separate section to make them easier to spot during a merge. - - * "git cvsimport" now supports password-protected pserver access even - when the password is not taken from ~/.cvspass file. - - * "git fast-export" learned --no-data option that can be useful when - reordering commits and trees without touching the contents of - blobs. - - * "git fast-import" has a pair of new front-end in contrib/ area. - - * "git init" learned to mkdir/chdir into a directory when given an - extra argument (i.e. "git init this"). - - * "git instaweb" optionally can use mongoose as the web server. - - * "git log --decorate" can optionally be told with --decorate=full to - give the reference name in full. - - * "git merge" issued an unnecessarily scary message when it detected - that the merge may have to touch the path that the user has local - uncommitted changes to. The message has been reworded to make it - clear that the command aborted, without doing any harm. - - * "git push" can be told to be --quiet. - - * "git push" pays attention to url.$base.pushInsteadOf and uses a URL - that is derived from the URL used for fetching. - - * informational output from "git reset" that lists the locally modified - paths is made consistent with that of "git checkout $another_branch". - - * "git submodule" learned to give submodule name to scripts run with - "foreach" subcommand. - - * various subcommands to "git submodule" learned --recursive option. - - * "git submodule summary" learned --files option to compare the work - tree vs the commit bound at submodule path, instead of comparing - the index. - - * "git upload-pack", which is the server side support for "git clone" and - "git fetch", can call a new post-upload-pack hook for statistics purposes. - -(developers) - - * With GIT_TEST_OPTS="--root=/p/a/t/h", tests can be run outside the - source directory; using tmpfs may give faster turnaround. - - * With NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER set, DESTDIR= is now honoured, so you can - build for one location, and install into another location to tar it - up. - -Fixes since v1.6.4 ------------------- - -All of the fixes in v1.6.4.X maintenance series are included in this -release, unless otherwise noted. |
