The last one is useful for signed tags. - - * "git grep" used to incorrectly pay attention to .gitignore files - scattered in the directory it was working in even when "--no-index" - option was used. It no longer does this. The "--exclude-standard" - option needs to be given to explicitly activate the ignore - mechanism. - - * "git grep" learned "--untracked" option, where given patterns are - searched in untracked (but not ignored) files as well as tracked - files in the working tree, so that matches in new but not yet - added files do not get missed. - - * The recursive merge backend no longer looks for meaningless - existing merges in submodules unless in the outermost merge. - - * "git log" and friends learned "--children" option. - - * "git ls-remote" learned to respond to "-h"(elp) requests. - - * "mediawiki" remote helper can interact with (surprise!) MediaWiki - with "git fetch" & "git push". - - * "git merge" learned the "--edit" option to allow users to edit the - merge commit log message. - - * "git rebase -i" can be told to use special purpose editor suitable - only for its insn sheet via sequence.editor configuration variable. - - * "git send-email" learned to respond to "-h"(elp) requests. - - * "git send-email" allows the value given to sendemail.aliasfile to begin - with "~/" to refer to the $HOME directory. - - * "git send-email" forces use of Authen::SASL::Perl to work around - issues between Authen::SASL::Cyrus and AUTH PLAIN/LOGIN. - - * "git stash" learned "--include-untracked" option to stash away - untracked/ignored cruft from the working tree. - - * "git submodule clone" does not leak an error message to the UI - level unnecessarily anymore. - - * "git submodule update" learned to honor "none" as the value for - submodule.<name>.update to specify that the named submodule should - not be checked out by default. - - * When populating a new submodule directory with "git submodule init", - the $GIT_DIR metainformation directory for submodules is created inside - $GIT_DIR/modules/<name>/ directory of the superproject and referenced - via the gitfile mechanism. This is to make it possible to switch - between commits in the superproject that has and does not have the - submodule in the tree without re-cloning. - - * "gitweb" leaked unescaped control characters from syntax hiliter - outputs. - - * "gitweb" can be told to give custom string at the end of the HTML - HEAD element. - - * "gitweb" now has its own manual pages. - - -Also contains other documentation updates and minor code cleanups. - - -Fixes since v1.7.7 ------------------- - -Unless otherwise noted, all fixes in the 1.7.7.X maintenance track are -included in this release. - - * HTTP transport did not use pushurl correctly, and also did not tell - what host it is trying to authenticate with when asking for - credentials. - (merge deba493 jk/http-auth later to maint). - - * "git blame" was aborted if started from an uncommitted content and - the path had the textconv filter in effect. - (merge 8518088 ss/blame-textconv-fake-working-tree later to maint). - - * Adding many refs to the local repository in one go (e.g. "git fetch" - that fetches many tags) and looking up a ref by name in a repository - with too many refs were unnecessarily slow. - (merge 17d68a54d jp/get-ref-dir-unsorted later to maint). - - * Report from "git commit" on untracked files was confused under - core.ignorecase option. - (merge 395c7356 jk/name-hash-dirent later to maint). - - * "git merge" did not understand ":/<pattern>" as a way to name a commit. - - " "git push" on the receiving end used to call post-receive and post-update - hooks for attempted removal of non-existing refs. - (merge 160b81ed ph/push-to-delete-nothing later to maint). - - * Help text for "git remote set-url" and "git remote set-branches" - were misspelled. - (merge c49904e fc/remote-seturl-usage-fix later to maint). - (merge 656cdf0 jc/remote-setbranches-usage-fix later to maint). |
