Also adds - a UI to choose common timezone for displaying the dates. - - * Similar to branch names, tagnames that begin with "-" are now - disallowed. - - * Clean-up of the C part of i18n (but not l10n---please wait) - continues. - - * The scripting part of the codebase is getting prepared for i18n/l10n. - - * Pushing and pulling from a repository with large number of refs that - point to identical commits are optimized by not listing the same commit - during the common ancestor negotiation exchange with the other side. - - * Adding a file larger than core.bigfilethreshold (defaults to 1/2 Gig) - using "git add" will send the contents straight to a packfile without - having to hold it and its compressed representation both at the same - time in memory. - - * Processes spawned by "[alias] <name> = !process" in the configuration - can inspect GIT_PREFIX environment variable to learn where in the - working tree the original command was invoked. - - * A magic pathspec ":/" tells a command that limits its operation to - the current directory when ran from a subdirectory to work on the - entire working tree. In general, ":/path/to/file" would be relative - to the root of the working tree hierarchy. - - After "git reset --hard; edit Makefile; cd t/", "git add -u" would - be a no-op, but "git add -u :/" would add the updated contents of - the Makefile at the top level. If you want to name a path in the - current subdirectory whose unusual name begins with ":/", you can - name it by "./:/that/path" or by "\:/that/path". - - * "git blame" learned "--abbrev[=<n>]" option to control the minimum - number of hexdigits shown for commit object names. - - * "git blame" learned "--line-porcelain" that is less efficient but is - easier to parse. - - * Aborting "git commit --interactive" discards updates to the index - made during the interactive session. - - * "git commit" learned a "--patch" option to directly jump to the - per-hunk selection UI of the interactive mode. - - * "git diff" and its family of commands learned --dirstat=0 to show - directories that contribute less than 0.1% of changes. - - * "git diff" and its family of commands learned --dirstat=lines mode to - assess damage to the directory based on number of lines in the patch - output, not based on the similarity numbers. - - * "git format-patch" learned "--quiet" option to suppress the output of - the names of generated files. - - * "git format-patch" quotes people's names when it has RFC822 special - characters in it, e.g. "Junio C. Hamano" <jch@example.com>. Earlier - it was up to the user to do this when using its output. - - * "git format-patch" can take an empty --subject-prefix now. - - * "git grep" learned the "-P" option to take pcre regular expressions. - - * "git log" and friends learned a new "--notes" option to replace the - "--show-notes" option. Unlike "--show-notes", "--notes=<ref>" does - not imply showing the default notes. - - * They also learned a log.abbrevCommit configuration variable to augment - the --abbrev-commit command line option. - - * "git ls-remote" learned "--exit-code" option to consider it a - different kind of error when no remote ref to be shown. - - * "git merge" learned "-" as a short-hand for "the previous branch", just - like the way "git checkout -" works. - - * "git merge" uses "merge.ff" configuration variable to decide to always - create a merge commit (i.e. --no-ff, aka merge.ff=no), refuse to create - a merge commit (i.e. --ff-only, aka merge.ff=only). Setting merge.ff=yes - (or not setting it at all) restores the default behaviour of allowing - fast-forward to happen when possible. - - * p4-import (from contrib) learned a new option --preserve-user. - - * "git read-tree -m" learned "--dry-run" option that reports if a merge - would fail without touching the index nor the working tree. - - * "git rebase" that does not specify on top of which branch to rebase - the current branch now uses @{upstream} of the current branch. - - * "git rebase" finished either normally or with --abort did not - update the reflog for HEAD to record the event to come back to - where it started from. - - * "git remote add -t only-this-branch --mirror=fetch" is now allowed. Earlier - a fetch-mode mirror meant mirror everything, but now it only means refs are - not renamed. - - * "git rev-list --count" used with "--cherry-mark" counts the cherry-picked - commits separately, producing more a useful output. - - * "git submodule update" learned "--force" option to get rid of local - changes in submodules and replace them with the up-to-date version. - - * "git status" and friends ignore .gitmodules file while the file is - still in a conflicted state during a merge, to avoid using information - that is not final and possibly corrupt with conflict markers. - -Also contains various documentation updates and minor miscellaneous -changes. - - -Fixes since v1.7.5 ------------------- - -Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes in 1.7.5.X maintenance track are -included in this release. - - * "git config" used to choke with an insanely long line. - (merge ef/maint-strbuf-init later) - - * "git diff --quiet" did not work well with --diff-filter. - (merge jk/diff-not-so-quick later) - - * "git status -z" did not default to --porcelain output format. - (merge bc/maint-status-z-to-use-porcelain later) |
