Updates since v1.5.1
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Plumbing level subproject support.
|
||||
|
||||
You can include a subdirectory that has an independent git
|
||||
repository in your index and tree objects as a
|
||||
"subproject". This plumbing (i.e. "core") level subproject
|
||||
support explicitly excludes recursive behaviour.
|
||||
|
||||
The "subproject" entries in the index and trees are
|
||||
incompatible with older versions of git. Experimenting with
|
||||
the plumbing level support is encouraged, but be warned that
|
||||
unless everybody in your project updates to this release or
|
||||
later, using this feature would make your project
|
||||
inaccessible by people with older versions of git.
|
||||
|
||||
* Plumbing level gitattributes support.
|
||||
|
||||
The gitattributes mechanism allows you to add 'attributes' to
|
||||
paths in your project, and affect the way certain git
|
||||
operations work. Currently you can influence if a path is
|
||||
considered a binary or text (the former would be treated by
|
||||
'git diff' not to produce textual output; the latter can go
|
||||
through the line endings conversion process in repositories
|
||||
with core.autocrlf set), and specify a custom 3-way merge
|
||||
driver.
|
||||
|
||||
* The packfile format now optionally suports 64-bit index.
|
||||
|
||||
This release supports the "version 2" format of the .idx
|
||||
file. This is automatically enabled when a huge packfile
|
||||
needs more than 32-bit to express offsets of objects in the
|
||||
pack
|
||||
|
||||
* New commands and options.

- "git add -u" is a quick way to do the first stage of "git

commit -a" (i.e. update the index to match the working

tree); it obviously does not make a commit.

Fixes since v1.5.1

------------------
|

|

The following are all in v1.5.1.x series, unless otherwise noted.
|
||||
|
||||
* Documentation updates
|
||||
|

- Various documentation updates from J. Bruce Fields, Frank

Lichtenheld, Alex Riesen and others. Andrew Ruder started a

war on undocumented options.

All of the fixes in v1.5.1 maintenance series are included in

this release, unless otherwise noted.

* Bugfixes
|
||||
|
||||
- "git diff a/ b/" incorrectly fell in "diff between two
|
||||
filesystem objects" codepath, when the user most likely
|
||||
wanted to limit the extent of output to two tracked
|
||||
directories.
|
||||
|
||||
- git-quiltimport had the same bug as we fixed for
|
||||
git-applymbox in v1.5.1.1 -- it gave an alarming "did not
|
||||
have any patch" message (but did not actually fail and was
|
||||
harmless).
|
||||
|
||||
- various git-svn fixes.
|

|
||||
- Sample update hook incorrectly always refused requests to
|

delete branches through push.

- git-blame on a very long working tree path had buffer
|
||||
overrun problem.

a path changes from a file to a directory between the
