Git v1.7.9 Release Notes (draft)
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v1.7.8
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* Porcelain commands like "git reset" did not distinguish deletions
|
|
and type-changes from ordinary modification, and reported them with
|
|
the same 'M' moniker. They now use 'D' (for deletion) and 'T' (for
|
|
type-change) to match "git status -s" and "git diff --name-status".
|
|
|
|
* 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 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 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.7.8
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
* In some codepaths (notably, checkout and merge), the ignore patterns
|
|
recorded in $GIT_DIR/info/exclude were not honored. They now are.
|
|
(merge fc001b5 nd/maint-ignore-exclude later to maint).
