"git push" without any refspec - will push the current branch out to the same name at the remote - repository only when it is set to track the branch with the same - name over there. The plan is to make this mode the new default - value when push.default is not configured. - - * A couple of commands learned the "--column" option to produce - columnar output. - - * A third-party tool "git subtree" is distributed in contrib/ - - * A remote helper that acts as a proxy and caches ssl session for the - https:// transport is added to the contrib/ area. - - * Error messages given when @{u} is used for a branch without its - upstream configured have been clarified. - - * Even with the "-q"uiet option, "checkout" used to report setting up - tracking. Also "branch" learned the "-q"uiet option to squelch - informational message. - - * Your build platform may support hardlinks but you may prefer not to - use them, e.g. when installing to DESTDIR to make a tarball and - untarring on a filesystem that has poor support for hardlinks. - There is a Makefile option NO_INSTALL_HARDLINKS for you. - - * The smart-http backend used to always override GIT_COMMITTER_* - variables with REMOTE_USER and REMOTE_ADDR, but these variables are - now preserved when set. - - * "git am" learned the "--include" option, which is an opposite of - existing the "--exclude" option. - - * When "git am -3" needs to fall back to an application of the patch - to a synthesized preimage followed by a 3-way merge, the paths that - needed such treatment are now reported to the end user, so that the - result in them can be eyeballed with extra care. - - * The output from "diff/log --stat" used to always allocate 4 columns - to show the number of modified lines, but not anymore. - - * "git difftool" learned the "--dir-diff" option to spawn external - diff tools that can compare two directory hierarchies at a time - after populating two temporary directories, instead of running an - instance of the external tool once per a file pair. - - * The "fmt-merge-msg" command learned to list the primary contributors - involved in the side topic you are merging in a comment in the merge - commit template. - - * "git rebase" learned to optionally keep commits that do not - introduce any change in the original history. - - * "git push --recurse-submodules" learned to optionally look into the - histories of submodules bound to the superproject and push them - out. - - * A 'snapshot' request to "gitweb" honors If-Modified-Since: header, - based on the commit date. - - * "gitweb" learned to highlight the patch it outputs even more. - -Foreign Interface - - * "git svn" used to die with unwanted SIGPIPE when talking with an HTTP - server that uses keep-alive. - - * "git svn" learned to use platform specific authentication - providers, e.g. gnome-keyring, kwallet, etc. - - * "git p4" has been moved out of the contrib/ area and has seen more - work on importing labels as tags from (and exporting tags as labels - to) p4. - -Performance and Internal Implementation (please report possible regressions) - - * Bash completion script (in contrib/) have been cleaned up to make - future work on it simpler. - - * An experimental "version 4" format of the index file has been - introduced to reduce on-disk footprint and I/O overhead. - - * "git archive" learned to produce its output without reading the - blob object it writes out in memory in its entirety. - - * "git index-pack" that runs when fetching or pushing objects to - complete the packfile on the receiving end learned to use multiple - threads to do its job when available. - - * The code to compute hash values for lines used by the internal diff - engine was optimized on little-endian machines, using the same - trick the kernel folks came up with. - - * "git apply" had some memory leaks plugged. - - * Setting up a revision traversal with many starting points was - inefficient as these were placed in a date-order priority queue - one-by-one. Now they are collected in the queue unordered first, - and sorted immediately before getting used. - - * More lower-level commands learned to use the streaming API to read - from the object store without keeping everything in core. - - * The weighting parameters to suggestion command name typo have been - tweaked, so that "git tags" will suggest "tag?" and not "stage?". - - * Because "sh" on the user's PATH may be utterly broken on some - systems, run-command API now uses SHELL_PATH, not /bin/sh, when - spawning an external command (not applicable to Windows port). - - * The API to iterate over the refs/ hierarchy has been tweaked to - allow walking only a subset of it more efficiently. - -Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. - - -Fixes since v1.7.10 -------------------- - -Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.7.10 in the maintenance -releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for -details). - - * "git submodule init" used to report "registered for path ..." - even for submodules that were registered earlier. - (cherry-pick c1c259e jl/submodule-report-new-path-once later to maint). - - * "git diff --stat" used to fully count a binary file with modified - execution bits whose contents is unmodified, which was not quite - right. |
