GIT v1.6.5 Release Notes
|
||||
========================
|
||||
|
||||
In git 1.7.0, which was planned to be the release after 1.6.5, "git
|
||||
push" into a branch that is currently checked out will be refused by
|
||||
default.
|
||||
|
||||
You can choose what should happen upon such a push by setting the
|
||||
configuration variable receive.denyCurrentBranch in the receiving
|
||||
repository.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch $killed in a remote
|
||||
repository $there, when $killed branch is the current branch pointed at by
|
||||
its HEAD, will be refused by default.
|
||||
|
||||
You can choose what should happen upon such a push by setting the
|
||||
configuration variable receive.denyDeleteCurrent in the receiving
|
||||
repository.
|
||||
|
||||
To ease the transition plan, the receiving repository of such a
|
||||
push running this release will issue a big warning when the
|
||||
configuration variable is missing. Please refer to:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
https://lore.kernel.org/git/7vbptlsuyv.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org/
|
||||
|
||||
for more details on the reason why this change is needed and the
|
||||
transition plan.

Updates since v1.6.4
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
(subsystems)
|
||||
|
||||
* various updates to gitk, git-svn and gitweb.
|
||||
|
||||
(portability)
|
||||
|
||||
* more improvements on mingw port.
|
||||
|
||||
* mingw will also give FRSX as the default value for the LESS
|
||||
environment variable when the user does not have one.
|
||||
|
||||
* initial support to compile git on Windows with MSVC.
|
||||
|
||||
(performance)
|
||||
|
||||
* On major platforms, the system can be compiled to use with Linus's
|
||||
block-sha1 implementation of the SHA-1 hash algorithm, which
|
||||
outperforms the default fallback implementation we borrowed from
|
||||
Mozilla.
|
||||
|
||||
* Unnecessary inefficiency in deepening of a shallow repository has
|
||||
been removed.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git clone" does not grab objects that it does not need (i.e.
|
||||
referenced only from refs outside refs/heads and refs/tags
|
||||
hierarchy) anymore.
|
||||
|
||||
* The "git" main binary used to link with libcurl, which then dragged
|
||||
in a large number of external libraries. When using basic plumbing
|
||||
commands in scripts, this unnecessarily slowed things down. We now
|
||||
implement http/https/ftp transfer as a separate executable as we
|
||||
used to.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git clone" run locally hardlinks or copies the files in .git/ to
|
||||
newly created repository. It used to give new mtime to copied files,
|
||||
but this delayed garbage collection to trigger unnecessarily in the
|
||||
cloned repository. We now preserve mtime for these files to avoid
|
||||
this issue.
|
||||
|
||||
(usability, bells and whistles)
|
||||
|
||||
* Human writable date format to various options, e.g. --since=yesterday,
|
||||
master@{2000.09.17}, are taught to infer some omitted input properly.
|
||||
|
||||
* A few programs gave verbose "advice" messages to help uninitiated
|
||||
people when issuing error messages. An infrastructure to allow
|
||||
users to squelch them has been introduced, and a few such messages
|
||||
can be silenced now.
|
||||
|
||||
* refs/replace/ hierarchy is designed to be usable as a replacement
|
||||
of the "grafts" mechanism, with the added advantage that it can be
|
||||
transferred across repositories.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git am" learned to optionally ignore whitespace differences.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git am" handles input e-mail files that has CRLF line endings sensibly.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git am" learned "--scissors" option to allow you to discard early part
|
||||
of an incoming e-mail.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git archive -o output.zip" works without being told what format to
|
||||
use with an explicit "--format=zip".option.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git checkout", "git reset" and "git stash" learned to pick and
|
||||
choose to use selected changes you made, similar to "git add -p".
|
||||
|
||||
* "git clone" learned a "-b" option to pick a HEAD to check out
|
||||
different from the remote's default branch.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git clone" learned --recursive option.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git clone" from a local repository on a different filesystem used to
|
||||
copy individual object files without preserving the old timestamp, giving
|
||||
them extra lifetime in the new repository until they gc'ed.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git commit --dry-run $args" is a new recommended way to ask "what would
|
||||
happen if I try to commit with these arguments."
|
||||
|
||||
* "git commit --dry-run" and "git status" shows conflicted paths in a
|
||||
separate section to make them easier to spot during a merge.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git cvsimport" now supports password-protected pserver access even
|
||||
when the password is not taken from ~/.cvspass file.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git fast-export" learned --no-data option that can be useful when
|
||||
reordering commits and trees without touching the contents of
|
||||
blobs.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git fast-import" has a pair of new front-end in contrib/ area.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git init" learned to mkdir/chdir into a directory when given an
|
||||
extra argument (i.e. "git init this").
|
||||
|
||||
* "git instaweb" optionally can use mongoose as the web server.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git log --decorate" can optionally be told with --decorate=full to
|
||||
give the reference name in full.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git merge" issued an unnecessarily scary message when it detected
|
||||
that the merge may have to touch the path that the user has local
|
||||
uncommitted changes to. The message has been reworded to make it
|
||||
clear that the command aborted, without doing any harm.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git push" can be told to be --quiet.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git push" pays attention to url.$base.pushInsteadOf and uses a URL
|
||||
that is derived from the URL used for fetching.
|
||||
|
||||
* informational output from "git reset" that lists the locally modified
|
||||
paths is made consistent with that of "git checkout $another_branch".
|
||||
|
||||
* "git submodule" learned to give submodule name to scripts run with
|
||||
"foreach" subcommand.
|
||||
|
||||
* various subcommands to "git submodule" learned --recursive option.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git submodule summary" learned --files option to compare the work
|
||||
tree vs the commit bound at submodule path, instead of comparing
|
||||
the index.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git upload-pack", which is the server side support for "git clone" and
|
||||
"git fetch", can call a new post-upload-pack hook for statistics purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
(developers)
|
||||
|
||||
* With GIT_TEST_OPTS="--root=/p/a/t/h", tests can be run outside the
|
||||
source directory; using tmpfs may give faster turnaround.
|
||||
|
||||
* With NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER set, DESTDIR= is now honoured, so you can
|
||||
build for one location, and install into another location to tar it
|
||||
up.
