GIT v1.5.2 Release Notes (draft)
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v1.5.1
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* New commands and options.
|
|
|
|
- "git bisect start" can optionally take a single bad commit and
|
|
zero or more good commits on the command line.
|
|
|
|
- "git shortlog" can optionally be told to wrap its output.
|
|
|
|
- "subtree" merge strategy allows another project to be merged in as
|
|
your subdirectory.
|
|
|
|
- "git format-patch" learned a new --subject-prefix=<string>
|
|
option, to override the built-in "[PATCH]".
|
|
|
|
* Updated behavior of existing commands.
|
|
|
|
- "git diff --stat" shows size of preimage and postimage blobs
|
|
for binary contents. Earlier it only said "Bin".
|
|
|
|
- "git lost-found" shows stuff that are unreachable except
|
|
from reflogs.
|
|
|
|
- "git checkout branch^0" now detaches HEAD at the tip commit
|
|
on the named branch, instead of just switching to the
|
|
branch (use "git checkout branch" to switch to the branch,
|
|
as before).
|
|
|
|
- "git bisect next" can be used after giving only a bad commit
|
|
without giving a good one (this starts bisection half-way to
|
|
the root commit). We used to refuse to operate without a
|
|
good and a bad commit.
|
|
|
|
- "git push", when pushing into more than one repository, does
|
|
not stop at the first error.
|
|
|
|
- "git archive" does not insist you to give --format parameter
|
|
anymore; it defaults to "tar".
|
|
|
|
* Builds
|
|
|
|
- git-p4import has never been installed; now there is an
|
|
installation option to do so.
|
|
|
|
- gitk and git-gui can be configured out.
|
|
|
|
- Generated documentation pages automatically get version
|
|
information from GIT_VERSION
|
|
|
|
- Parallel build with "make -j" descending into subdirectory
|
|
was fixed.
|
|
|
|
* Performance Tweaks
|
|
|
|
- optimized "git-rev-list --bisect" (hence "git-bisect").
|
|
|
|
- optimized "git-add $path" in a large directory, most of
|
|
whose contents are ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
- Switching branches with "git checkout" refused to work when
|
|
a path changes from a file to a directory between the
|
|
current branch and the new branch, in order not to lose
|
|
possible local changes in the directory that is being turned
|
|
into a file with the switch. We now allow such a branch
|
|
switch after making sure that there is no locally modified
|
|
file nor un-ignored file in the directory. This has not
|
|
been backported to 1.5.1.x series, as it is rather an
|
|
intrusive change.
|
|
|
|
- Merging branches that have a file in one and a directory in
|
|
another at the same path used to get quite confused. We
|
|
handle such a case a bit more carefully, even though that is
|
|
still left as a conflict for the user to sort out. This
|
|
will not be backported to 1.5.1.x series, as it is rather an
|
|
intrusive change.
