To normalize content that has been checked in with - CRLF, use the new eol/text attributes. - - * The whitespace rules used in "git apply --whitespace" and "git diff" - gained a new member in the family (tab-in-indent) to help projects with - policy to indent only with spaces. - - * When working from a subdirectory, by default, git does not look for its - metadirectory ".git" across filesystems, primarily to help people who - have invocations of git in their custom PS1 prompts, as being outside - of a git repository would look for ".git" all the way up to the root - directory, and NFS mounts are often slow. DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM - environment variable can be used to tell git not to stop at a - filesystem boundary. - - * Usage help messages generated by parse-options library (i.e. most - of the Porcelain commands) are sent to the standard output now. - - * ':/<string>' notation to look for a commit now takes regular expression - and it is not anchored at the beginning of the commit log message - anymore (this is a backward incompatible change). - - * "git" wrapper learned "-c name=value" option to override configuration - variable from the command line. - - * Improved portability for various platforms including older SunOS, - HP-UX 10/11, AIX, Tru64, etc. and platforms with Python 2.4. - - * The message from "git am -3" has been improved when conflict - resolution ended up making the patch a no-op. - - * "git blame" applies the textconv filter to the contents it works - on, when available. - - * "git checkout --orphan newbranch" is similar to "-b newbranch" but - prepares to create a root commit that is not connected to any existing - commit. - - * "git cherry-pick" learned to pick a range of commits - (e.g. "cherry-pick A..B" and "cherry-pick --stdin"), so did "git - revert"; these do not support the nicer sequencing control "rebase - [-i]" has, though. - - * "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" learned --strategy option to specify - the merge strategy to be used when performing three-way merges. - - * "git cvsserver" can be told to use pserver; its password file can be - stored outside the repository. - - * The output from the textconv filter used by "git diff" can be cached to - speed up their reuse. - - * "git diff --word-diff=<mode>" extends the existing "--color-words" - option, making it more useful in color-challenged environments. - - * The regexp to detect function headers used by "git diff" for PHP has - been enhanced for visibility modifiers (public, protected, etc.) to - better support PHP5. - - * "diff.noprefix" configuration variable can be used to implicitly - ask for "diff --no-prefix" behaviour. - - * "git for-each-ref" learned "%(objectname:short)" that gives the object - name abbreviated. - - * "git format-patch" learned --signature option and format.signature - configuration variable to customize the e-mail signature used in the - output. - - * Various options to "git grep" (e.g. --count, --name-only) work better - with binary files. - - * "git grep" learned "-Ovi" to open the files with hits in your editor. - - * "git help -w" learned "chrome" and "chromium" browsers. - - * "git log --decorate" shows commit decorations in various colours. - - * "git log --follow <path>" follows across copies (it used to only follow - renames). This may make the processing more expensive. - - * "git log --pretty=format:<template>" specifier learned "% <something>" - magic that inserts a space only when %<something> expands to a - non-empty string; this is similar to "%+<something>" magic, but is - useful in a context to generate a single line output. - - * "git notes prune" learned "-n" (dry-run) and "-v" options, similar to - what "git prune" has. - - * "git patch-id" can be fed a mbox without getting confused by the - signature line in the format-patch output. - - * "git remote" learned "set-branches" subcommand. - - * "git rev-list A..B" learned --ancestry-path option to further limit - the result to the commits that are on the ancestry chain between A and - B (i.e. commits that are not descendants of A are excluded). - - * "git show -5" is equivalent to "git show --do-walk 5"; this is similar - to the update to make "git show master..next" walk the history, - introduced in 1.6.4. - - * "git status [-s] --ignored" can be used to list ignored paths. - - * "git status -s -b" shows the current branch in the output. - - * "git status" learned "--ignore-submodules" option. - - * Various "gitweb" enhancements and clean-ups, including syntax - highlighting, "plackup" support for instaweb, .fcgi suffix to run - it as FastCGI script, etc. - - * The test harness has been updated to produce TAP-friendly output. - - * Many documentation improvement patches are also included. - - -Fixes since v1.7.1 ------------------- - -All of the fixes in v1.7.1.X maintenance series are included in this -release, unless otherwise noted. - - * We didn't URL decode "file:///path/to/repo" correctly when path/to/repo - had percent-encoded characters (638794c, 9d2e942, ce83eda, 3c73a1d). - - * "git clone" did not configure remote.origin.url correctly for bare - clones (df61c889). - - * "git diff --graph" works better with "--color-words" and other options - (81fa024..4297c0a). - - * "git diff" could show ambiguous abbreviation of blob object names on - its "index" line (3e5a188). - - * "git reset --hard" started from a wrong directory and a working tree in - a nonstandard location is in use got confused (560fb6a1). - - * "git read-tree -m A B" used to switch to branch B while retaining - local changes added an incorrect cache-tree information (b1f47514). |
