Distributors can drop new PO files - in po/ to add new translations. - - * The code to handle username/password for HTTP transactions used in - "git push" & "git fetch" learned to talk "credential API" to - external programs to cache or store them, to allow integration with - platform native keychain mechanisms. - - * The input prompts in the terminal use our own getpass() replacement - when possible. HTTP transactions used to ask for the username without - echoing back what was typed, but with this change you will see it as - you type. - - * The internals of "revert/cherry-pick" have been tweaked to prepare - building more generic "sequencer" on top of the implementation that - drives them. - - * "git rev-parse FETCH_HEAD" after "git fetch" without specifying - what to fetch from the command line will now show the commit that - would be merged if the command were "git pull". - - * "git add" learned to stream large files directly into a packfile - instead of writing them into individual loose object files. - - * "git checkout -B <current branch> <elsewhere>" is a more intuitive - way to spell "git reset --keep <elsewhere>". - - * "git checkout" and "git merge" learned "--no-overwrite-ignore" option - to tell Git that untracked and ignored files are not expendable. - - * "git commit --amend" learned "--no-edit" option to say that the - user is amending the tree being recorded, without updating the - commit log message. - - * "git commit" and "git reset" re-learned the optimization to prime - the cache-tree information in the index, which makes it faster to - write a tree object out after the index entries are updated. - - * "git commit" detects and rejects an attempt to stuff NUL byte in - the commit log message. - - * "git commit" learned "-S" to GPG-sign the commit; this can be shown - with the "--show-signature" option to "git log". - - * fsck and prune are relatively lengthy operations that still go - silent while making the end-user wait. They learned to give progress - output like other slow operations. - - * The set of built-in function-header patterns for various languages - knows MATLAB. - - * "git log --format='<format>'" learned new %g[nNeE] specifiers to - show information from the reflog entries when walking the reflog - (i.e. with "-g"). - - * "git pull" can be used to fetch and merge an annotated/signed tag, - instead of the tip of a topic branch. The GPG signature from the - signed tag is recorded in the resulting merge commit for later - auditing. - - * "git log" learned "--show-signature" option to show the signed tag - that was merged that is embedded in the merge commit. It also can - show the signature made on the commit with "git commit -S". - - * "git branch --edit-description" can be used to add descriptive text - to explain what a topic branch is about. - - * "git fmt-merge-msg" learned to take the branch description into - account when preparing a merge summary that "git merge" records - when merging a local branch. - - * "git request-pull" has been updated to convey more information - useful for integrators to decide if a topic is worth merging and - what is pulled is indeed what the requestor asked to pull, - including: - - - the tip of the branch being requested to be merged; - - the branch description describing what the topic is about; - - the contents of the annotated tag, when requesting to pull a tag. - - * "git pull" learned to notice 'pull.rebase' configuration variable, - which serves as a global fallback for setting 'branch.<name>.rebase' - configuration variable per branch. - - * "git tag" learned "--cleanup" option to control how the whitespaces - and empty lines in tag message are cleaned up. - - * "gitweb" learned to show side-by-side diff. - -Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. - - -Fixes since v1.7.8 ------------------- - -Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.7.8 in the maintenance -releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for -details). |
