This will help us prolong - the lifetime of abbreviated object names. - - * "git apply" learned to wiggle the base version and perform three-way - merge when a patch does not exactly apply to the version you have. - - * Scripted Porcelain writers now have access to the credential API via - the "git credential" plumbing command. - - * "git help" used to always default to "man" format even on platforms - where "man" viewer is not widely available. - - * "git clone --local $path" started its life as an experiment to - optionally use link/copy when cloning a repository on the disk, but - we didn't deprecate it after we made the option a no-op to always - use the optimization. The command learned "--no-local" option to - turn this off, as a more explicit alternative over use of file:// - URL. - - * "git fetch" and friends used to say "remote side hung up - unexpectedly" when they failed to get response they expect from the - other side, but one common reason why they don't get expected - response is that the remote repository does not exist or cannot be - read. The error message in this case was updated to give better - hints to the user. - - * "git help -w $cmd" can show HTML version of documentation for - "git-$cmd" by setting help.htmlpath to somewhere other than the - default location where the build procedure installs them locally; - the variable can even point at a http:// URL. - - * "git rebase [-i] --root $tip" can now be used to rewrite all the - history leading to "$tip" down to the root commit. - - * "git rebase -i" learned "-x <cmd>" to insert "exec <cmd>" after - each commit in the resulting history. - - * "git status" gives finer classification to various states of paths - in conflicted state and offer advice messages in its output. - - * "git submodule" learned to deal with nested submodule structure - where a module is contained within a module whose origin is - specified as a relative URL to its superproject's origin. - - * A rather heavy-ish "git completion" script has been split to create - a separate "git prompting" script, to help lazy-autoloading of the - completion part while making prompting part always available. - - * "gitweb" pays attention to various forms of credits that are - similar to "Signed-off-by:" lines in the commit objects and - highlights them accordingly. - - -Foreign Interface - - * "mediawiki" remote helper (in contrib/) learned to handle file - attachments. - - * "git p4" now uses "Jobs:" and "p4 move" when appropriate. - - * vcs-svn has been updated to clean-up compilation, lift 32-bit - limitations, etc. - - -Performance, Internal Implementation, etc. (please report possible regressions) - - * Some tests showed false failures caused by a bug in ecryptofs. - - * We no longer use AsciiDoc7 syntax in our documentation and favor a - more modern style. - - * "git am --rebasing" codepath was taught to grab authorship, log - message and the patch text directly out of existing commits. This - will help rebasing commits that have confusing "diff" output in - their log messages. - - * "git index-pack" and "git pack-objects" use streaming API to read - from the object store to avoid having to hold a large blob object - in-core while they are doing their thing. - - * Code to match paths with exclude patterns learned to avoid calling - fnmatch() by comparing fixed leading substring literally when - possible. - - * "git log -n 1 -- rarely-touched-path" was spending unnecessary - cycles after showing the first change to find the next one, only to - discard it. - - * "git svn" got a large-looking code reorganization at the last - minute before the code freeze. - - -Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. - - -Fixes since v1.7.11 -------------------- - -Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.7.11 in the maintenance -releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for -details). - - * "git submodule add" was confused when the superproject did not have - its repository in its usual place in the working tree and GIT_DIR - and GIT_WORK_TREE was used to access it. - - * "git commit --amend" let the user edit the log message and then died - when the human-readable committer name was given insufficiently by - getpwent(3). |
