We used to reject anything that was not - deflated with 32kb window. - - * Interaction between the use of pager and coloring of the output has - been improved, especially when a command that is not built-in was - involved. - - * "git am" learned to pass the "--exclude=<path>" option through to underlying - "git apply". - - * You can now feed many empty lines before feeding an mbox file to - "git am". - - * "git archive" can be told to pass the output to gzip compression and - produce "archive.tar.gz". - - * "git bisect" can be used in a bare repository (provided that the test - you perform per each iteration does not need a working tree, of - course). - - * The length of abbreviated object names in "git branch -v" output - now honors the core.abbrev configuration variable. - - * "git check-attr" can take relative paths from the command line. - - * "git check-attr" learned an "--all" option to list the attributes for a - given path. - - * "git checkout" (both the code to update the files upon checking out a - different branch and the code to checkout a specific set of files) learned - to stream the data from object store when possible, without having to - read the entire contents of a file into memory first. An earlier round - of this code that is not in any released version had a large leak but - now it has been plugged. - - * "git clone" can now take a "--config key=value" option to set the - repository configuration options that affect the initial checkout. - - * "git commit <paths>..." now lets you feed relative pathspecs that - refer to outside your current subdirectory. - - * "git diff --stat" learned a --stat-count option to limit the output of - a diffstat report. - - * "git diff" learned a "--histogram" option to use a different diff - generation machinery stolen from jgit, which might give better - performance. - - * "git diff" had a weird worst case behaviour that can be triggered - when comparing files with potentially many places that could match. - - * "git fetch", "git push" and friends no longer show connection - errors for addresses that couldn't be connected to when at least one - address succeeds (this is arguably a regression but a deliberate - one). - - * "git grep" learned "--break" and "--heading" options, to let users mimic - the output format of "ack". - - * "git grep" learned a "-W" option that shows wider context using the same - logic used by "git diff" to determine the hunk header. - - * Invoking the low-level "git http-fetch" without "-a" option (which - git itself never did--normal users should not have to worry about - this) is now deprecated. - - * The "--decorate" option to "git log" and its family learned to - highlight grafted and replaced commits. - - * "git rebase master topci" no longer spews usage hints after giving - the "fatal: no such branch: topci" error message. - - * The recursive merge strategy implementation got a fairly large - fix for many corner cases that may rarely happen in real world - projects (it has been verified that none of the 16000+ merges in - the Linux kernel history back to v2.6.12 is affected with the - corner case bugs this update fixes). - - * "git stash" learned an "--include-untracked option". - - * "git submodule update" used to stop at the first error updating a - submodule; it now goes on to update other submodules that can be - updated, and reports the ones with errors at the end. - - * "git push" can be told with the "--recurse-submodules=check" option to - refuse pushing of the supermodule, if any of its submodules' - commits hasn't been pushed out to their remotes. - - * "git upload-pack" and "git receive-pack" learned to pretend that only a - subset of the refs exist in a repository. This may help a site to - put many tiny repositories into one repository (this would not be - useful for larger repositories as repacking would be problematic). - - * "git verify-pack" has been rewritten to use the "index-pack" machinery - that is more efficient in reading objects in packfiles. - - * test scripts for gitweb tried to run even when CGI-related perl modules - are not installed; they now exit early when the latter are unavailable. - -Also contains various documentation updates and minor miscellaneous -changes. - - -Fixes since v1.7.6 ------------------- - -Unless otherwise noted, all fixes in the 1.7.6.X maintenance track are -included in this release. - - * "git branch -m" and "git checkout -b" incorrectly allowed the tip - of the branch that is currently checked out updated. |
