If you have older versions, you can set - ASCIIDOC7 and ASCIIDOC_ROFF, respectively. - - * The option parsers of various commands that create new branches (or - rename existing ones to a new name) were too loose and users were - allowed to give a branch a name that begins with a dash by creative - abuse of their command line options, which only led to burning - themselves. The name of a branch cannot begin with a dash now. - - * System-wide fallback default attributes can be stored in - /etc/gitattributes; the core.attributesfile configuration variable can - be used to customize the path to this file. - - * The thread structure generated by "git send-email" has changed - slightly. Setting the cover letter of the latest series as a reply - to the cover letter of the previous series with --in-reply-to used - to make the new cover letter and all the patches replies to the - cover letter of the previous series; this has been changed to make - the patches in the new series replies to the new cover letter. - - * The Bash completion script in contrib/ has been adjusted to be usable with - Bash 4 (options with '=value' didn't complete). It has been also made - usable with zsh. - - * Different pagers can be chosen depending on which subcommand is - being run under the pager, using the "pager.<subcommand>" variable. - - * The hardcoded tab-width of 8 that is used in whitespace breakage checks is now - configurable via the attributes mechanism. - - * Support of case insensitive filesystems (i.e. "core.ignorecase") has - been improved. For example, the gitignore mechanism didn't pay attention - to case insensitivity. - - * The <tree>:<path> syntax for naming a blob in a tree, and the :<path> - syntax for naming a blob in the index (e.g. "master:Makefile", - ":hello.c") have been extended. You can start <path> with "./" to - implicitly have the (sub)directory you are in prefixed to the - lookup. Similarly, ":../Makefile" from a subdirectory would mean - "the Makefile of the parent directory in the index". - - * "git blame" learned the --show-email option to display the e-mail - addresses instead of the names of authors. - - * "git commit" learned the --fixup and --squash options to help later invocation - of interactive rebase. - - * Command line options to "git cvsimport" whose names are in capital - letters (-A, -M, -R and -S) can now be specified as the default in - the .git/config file by their longer names (cvsimport.authorsFile, - cvsimport.mergeRegex, cvsimport.trackRevisions, cvsimport.ignorePaths). - - * "git daemon" can be built in the MinGW environment. - - * "git daemon" can take more than one --listen option to listen to - multiple addresses. - - * "git describe --exact-match" was optimized not to read commit - objects unnecessarily. - - * "git diff" and "git grep" learned what functions and subroutines - in Fortran, Pascal and Perl look like. - - * "git fetch" learned the "--recurse-submodules" option. - - * "git mergetool" tells vim/gvim to show a three-way diff by default - (use vimdiff2/gvimdiff2 as the tool name for old behavior). - - * "git log -G<pattern>" limits the output to commits whose change has - added or deleted lines that match the given pattern. - - * "git read-tree" with no argument as a way to empty the index is - deprecated; we might want to remove it in the future. Users can - use the new --empty option to be more explicit instead. - - * "git repack -f" does not spend cycles to recompress objects in the - non-delta representation anymore (use -F if you really mean it - e.g. after you changed the core.compression variable setting). - - * "git merge --log" used to limit the resulting merge log to 20 - entries; this is now customizable by giving e.g. "--log=47". - - * "git merge" may work better when all files were moved out of a - directory in one branch while a new file is created in place of that - directory in the other branch. - - * "git merge" learned the "--abort" option, synonymous to - "git reset --merge" when a merge is in progress. - - * "git notes" learned the "merge" subcommand to merge notes refs. - In addition to the default manual conflict resolution, there are - also several notes merge strategies for automatically resolving - notes merge conflicts. - - * "git rebase --autosquash" can use SHA-1 object names to name the - commit which is to be fixed up (e.g. "fixup! e83c5163"). - - * The default "recursive" merge strategy learned the --rename-threshold - option to influence the rename detection, similar to the -M option - of "git diff". From the "git merge" frontend, the "-X<strategy option>" - interface, e.g. "git merge -Xrename-threshold=50% ...", can be used - to trigger this. - - * The "recursive" strategy also learned to ignore various whitespace - changes; the most notable is -Xignore-space-at-eol. - - * "git send-email" learned "--to-cmd", similar to "--cc-cmd", to read - the recipient list from a command output. - - * "git send-email" learned to read and use "To:" from its input files. - - * you can extend "git shell", which is often used on boxes that allow - git-only login over ssh as login shell, with a custom set of - commands. - - * The current branch name in "git status" output can be colored differently - from the generic header color by setting the "color.status.branch" variable. - - * "git submodule sync" updates metainformation for all submodules, - not just the ones that have been checked out. - - * gitweb can use a custom 'highlight' command with its configuration file. - - * other gitweb updates. - - -Also contains various documentation updates. - - -Fixes since v1.7.3 ------------------- - -All of the fixes in the v1.7.3.X maintenance series are included in this -release, unless otherwise noted. - - * "git log --author=me --author=her" did not find commits written by - me or by her; instead it looked for commits written by me and by - her, which is impossible. - - * "git push --progress" shows progress indicators now. - - * "git rebase -i" showed a confusing error message when given a - branch name that does not exist. - - * "git repack" places its temporary packs under $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/pack - instead of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/ to avoid cross directory renames. - - * "git submodule update --recursive --other-flags" passes flags down - to its subinvocations. |
