Git v1.8.3 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Backward compatibility notes (for Git 2.0)
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
When "git push [$there]" does not say what to push, we have used the
|
|
traditional "matching" semantics so far (all your branches were sent
|
|
to the remote as long as there already are branches of the same name
|
|
over there). In Git 2.0, the default will change to the "simple"
|
|
semantics that pushes the current branch to the branch with the same
|
|
name, only when the current branch is set to integrate with that
|
|
remote branch. There is a user preference configuration variable
|
|
"push.default" to change this. If you are an old-timer who is used
|
|
to the "matching" semantics, you can set it to "matching" to keep the
|
|
traditional behaviour. If you want to live in the future early,
|
|
you can set it to "simple" today without waiting for Git 2.0.
|
|
|
|
When "git add -u" and "git add -A", that does not specify what paths
|
|
to add on the command line is run from inside a subdirectory, these
|
|
commands will operate on the entire tree in Git 2.0 for consistency
|
|
with "git commit -a" and other commands. Because there will be no
|
|
mechanism to make "git add -u" behave as if "git add -u .", it is
|
|
important for those who are used to "git add -u" (without pathspec)
|
|
updating the index only for paths in the current subdirectory to start
|
|
training their fingers to explicitly say "git add -u ." when they mean
|
|
it before Git 2.0 comes.
