GIT v1.5.4.4 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.4.3
--------------------
* Building and installing with an overtight umask such as 077 made
installed templates unreadable by others, while the rest of the install
are done in a way that is friendly to umask 022.
* "git cvsexportcommit -w $cvsdir" misbehaved when GIT_DIR is set to a
relative directory.
* "git http-push" had an invalid memory access that could lead it to
segfault.
* When "git rebase -i" gave control back to the user for a commit that is
marked to be edited, it just said "modify it with commit --amend",
without saying what to do to continue after modifying it. Give an
explicit instruction to run "rebase --continue" to be more helpful.
* "git send-email" in 1.5.4.3 issued a bogus empty In-Reply-To: header.
* "git bisect" showed mysterious "won't bisect on seeked tree" error message.
This was leftover from Cogito days to prevent "bisect" starting from a
cg-seeked state. We still keep the Cogito safety, but running "git bisect
start" when another bisect was in effect will clean up and start over.
* "git push" with an explicit PATH to receive-pack did not quite work if
receive-pack was not on usual PATH. We earlier fixed the same issue
with "git fetch" and upload-pack, but somehow forgot to do so in the
other direction.
* git-gui's info dialog was not displayed correctly when the user tries
to commit nothing (i.e. without staging anything).
* "git revert" did not properly fail when attempting to run with a
dirty index.
* "git merge --no-commit --no-ff <other>" incorrectly made commits.
* "git merge --squash --no-ff <other>", which is a nonsense combination
of options, was not rejected.
* "git ls-remote" and "git remote show" against an empty repository
failed, instead of just giving an empty result (regression).
* "git fast-import" did not handle a renamed path whose name needs to be
quoted, due to a bug in unquote_c_style() function.
* "git cvsexportcommit" was confused when multiple files with the same
basename needed to be pushed out in the same commit.
* "git daemon" did not send early errors to syslog.
* "git log --merge" did not work well with --left-right option.
* "git svn" promprted for client cert password every time it accessed the
server.
* The reset command in "git fast-import" data stream was documented to
end with an optional LF, but it actually required one.
* "git svn dcommit/rebase" did not honor --rewrite-root option.
Also included are a handful documentation updates.

configure script. This not only makes our Makefiles more readable, but
also performs various checks that were previously hard-coded, e.g.
whether or not iconv's *char arguments are constified or not. We also
no longer need the huge mess which checks for the asciidoc/xmlto versions
in git-docs/Makefile. Also, misc. makefile fixes/stylistic changes and
removal of Python dependencies. I don't see how they are needed.
Python modules should be installed as seperate ${PKGPKGPREFIX}-scmgit
packages.
This was a somewhat radical change, so please report any problems.
Changes since 1.5.4:
* RPM spec used to pull in everything with 'git'. This has been
changed so that 'git' package contains just the core parts,
and we now supply 'git-all' metapackage to slurp in everything.
This should match end user's expectation better.
* When some refs failed to update, git-push reported "failure"
which was unclear if some other refs were updated or all of
them failed atomically (the answer is the former). Reworded
the message to clarify this.
* "git clone" from a repository whose HEAD was misconfigured
did not set up the remote properly. Now it tries to do
better.
* Updated git-push documentation to clarify what "matching"
means, in order to reduce user confusion.
* Updated git-add documentation to clarify "add -u" operates in
the current subdirectory you are in, just like other commands.
* git-gui updates to work on OSX and Windows better.
* The configuration parser was not prepared to see string
valued variables misspelled as boolean and segfaulted.
* Temporary files left behind due to interrupted object
transfers were not cleaned up with "git prune".
* "git config --unset" was confused when the unset variables
were spelled with continuation lines in the config file.
* The merge message detection in "git cvsimport" did not catch
a message that began with "Merge...".
* "git status" suggests "git rm --cached" for unstaging the
earlier "git add" before the initial commit.
* "git status" output was incorrect during a partial commit.
* "git bisect" refused to start when the HEAD was detached.
* "git bisect" allowed a wildcard character in the commit
message expanded while writing its log file.
* Manual pages were not formatted correctly with docbook xsl
1.72; added a workaround.
* "git-commit -C $tag" used to work but rewrite in C done in
1.5.4 broke it. This was fixed in 1.5.4.1.
* An entry in the .gitattributes file that names a pattern in a
subdirectory of the directory it is in did not match
correctly (e.g. pattern "b/*.c" in "a/.gitattributes" should
match "a/b/foo.c" but it didn't). This was fixed in 1.5.4.1.
* Customized color specification was parsed incorrectly when
numeric color values are used. This was fixed in 1.5.4.1.
* http transport misbehaved when linked with curl-gnutls.
* "git-commit -C $tag" used to work but rewrite in C done in
1.5.4 broke it.
* An entry in the .gitattributes file that names a pattern in a
subdirectory of the directory it is in did not match
correctly (e.g. pattern "b/*.c" in "a/.gitattributes" should
match "a/b/foo.c" but it didn't).
* Customized color specification was parsed incorrectly when
numeric color values are used. This was fixed in 1.5.4.1.

Instead of setting prefix=$(HOME) and HOME=${PREFIX},
just set prefix=$(PREFIX) directly.

There are quite a few changes and (welcomed) fixes: please see
the release notes in ${WRKSRC}/Documentation/RelNotes-1.5.4.
A small subset of the changes are included here.
Added
-----
* i18n support for gitk.
Removal
-------
* "git svnimport" was removed in favor of "git svn". It is still there
in the source tree (contrib/examples) but unsupported.
* As git-commit and git-status have been rewritten, "git runstatus"
helper script lost all its users and has been removed.
Fixes since v1.5.3 (unique to the 1.5.4 branch)
------------------
These fixes are only in v1.5.4 and not backported to v1.5.3 maintenance
series.
* The way "git diff --check" behaves is much more consistent with the way
"git apply --whitespace=warn" works.
* "git svn" talking with the SVN over HTTP will correctly quote branch
and project names.
* "git config" did not work correctly on platforms that define
REG_NOMATCH to an even number.
* Recent versions of AsciiDoc 8 has a change to break our
documentation; a workaround has been implemented.
* "git diff --color-words" colored context lines in a wrong color.

built.
|
|
|
|
Also, update to 1.5.3.7.
Fixes since v1.5.3.6
--------------------
* git-send-email added 8-bit contents to the payload without
marking it as 8-bit in a CTE header.
* "git-bundle create a.bndl HEAD" dereferenced the symref and
did not record the ref as 'HEAD'; this prevented a bundle
from being used as a normal source of git-clone.
* The code to reject nonsense command line of the form
"git-commit -a paths..." and "git-commit --interactive
paths..." were broken.
* Adding a signature that is not ASCII-only to an original
commit that is ASCII-only would make the result non-ASCII.
"git-format-patch -s" did not mark such a message correctly
with MIME encoding header.
* git-add sometimes did not mark the resulting index entry
stat-clean. This affected only cases when adding the
contents with the same length as the previously staged
contents, and the previous staging made the index entry
"racily clean".
* git-commit did not honor GIT_INDEX_FILE the user had in the
environment.
* When checking out a revision, git-checkout did not report where the
updated HEAD is if you happened to have a file called HEAD in the
work tree.
* "git-rev-list --objects" mishandled a tree that points at a
submodule.
* "git cvsimport" was not ready for packed refs that "git gc" can
produce and gave incorrect results.
* Many scripted Porcelains were confused when you happened to have a
file called "HEAD" in your work tree.
* Miscellaneous updates to the user manual and documentation.

properly upstream).
Fixes since v1.5.3.5
====================
* git-cvsexportcommit handles root commits better.
* git-svn dcommit used to clobber when sending a series of
patches.
* git-svn dcommit failed after attempting to rebase when
started with a dirty index; now it stops upfront.
* git-grep sometimes refused to work when your index was
unmerged.
* "git-grep -A1 -B2" acted as if it was told to run "git -A1 -B21".
* git-hash-object did not honor configuration variables, such as
core.compression.
* git-index-pack choked on a huge pack on 32-bit machines, even when
large file offsets are supported.
* atom feeds from git-web said "10" for the month of November.
* a memory leak in commit walker was plugged.
* When git-send-email inserted the original author's From:
address in body, it did not mark the message with
Content-type: as needed.
* git-revert and git-cherry-pick incorrectly refused to start
when the work tree was dirty.
* git-clean did not honor core.excludesfile configuration.
* git-add mishandled ".gitignore" files when applying them to
subdirectories.
* While importing a too branchy history, git-fastimport did not
honor delta depth limit properly.
* Support for zlib implementations that lack ZLIB_VERNUM and definition
of deflateBound() has been added.
* Quite a lot of documentation clarifications.

IT v1.5.2.5 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.2.4
--------------------
* Bugfixes
- "git add -u" had a serious data corruption problem in one
special case (when the changes to a subdirectory's files
consist only deletion of files).
- "git add -u <path>" did not work from a subdirectory.
- "git apply" left an empty directory after all its files are
renamed away.
- "git $anycmd foo/bar", when there is a file 'foo' in the
working tree, complained that "git $anycmd foo/bar --" form
should be used to disambiguate between revs and files,
which was completely bogus.
- "git checkout-index" and other commands that checks out
files to the work tree tried unlink(2) on directories,
which is a sane thing to do on sane systems, but not on
Solaris when you are root.
* Documentation Fixes and Updates
- A handful documentation fixes.
GIT v1.5.2.4 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.2.3
--------------------
* Bugfixes
- "git-gui" bugfixes, including a handful fixes to run it
better on Cygwin/MSYS.
- "git checkout" failed to switch back and forth between
branches, one of which has "frotz -> xyzzy" symlink and
file "xyzzy/filfre", while the other one has a file
"frotz/filfre".
- "git prune" used to segfault upon seeing a commit that is
referred to by a tree object (aka "subproject").
- "git diff --name-status --no-index" mishandled an added file.
- "git apply --reverse --whitespace=warn" still complained
about whitespaces that a forward application would have
introduced.
* Documentation Fixes and Updates
- A handful documentation updates.

As part of this, the correct install program is now used, the tar specified
by pkgsrc is used, added a missing tar to tools, stopped hardcoding the
c-compiler, and added a missing wish:run to the tools. Whew!

GIT v1.5.1.1 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.1
------------------
* Documentation updates
- The --left-right option of rev-list and friends is documented.
- The documentation for cvsimport has been majorly improved.
- "git-show-ref --exclude-existing" was documented.
* Bugfixes
- The implementation of -p option in "git cvsexportcommit" had
the meaning of -C (context reduction) option wrong, and
loosened the context requirements when it was told to be
strict.
- "git cvsserver" did not behave like the real cvsserver when
client side removed a file from the working tree without
doing anything else on the path. In such a case, it should
restore it from the checked out revision.
- "git fsck" issued an alarming error message on detached
HEAD. It is not an error since at least 1.5.0.
- "git send-email" produced of References header of unbounded length;
fixed this with line-folding.
- "git archive" to download from remote site should not
require you to be in a git repository, but it incorrectly
did.
- "git apply" ignored -p<n> for "diff --git" formatted
patches.
- "git rerere" recorded a conflict that had one side empty
(the other side adds) incorrectly; this made merging in the
other direction fail to use previously recorded resolution.
- t4200 test was broken where "wc -l" pads its output with
spaces.
- "git branch -m old new" to rename branch did not work
without a configuration file in ".git/config".
- The sample hook for notification e-mail was misnamed.
- gitweb did not show type-changing patch correctly in the
blobdiff view.
- git-svn did not error out with incorrect command line options.
- git-svn fell into an infinite loop when insanely long commit
message was found.
- git-svn dcommit and rebase was confused by patches that were
merged from another branch that is managed by git-svn.

GIT v1.5.1 Release Notes
========================
Updates since v1.5.0
--------------------
* Deprecated commands and options.
- git-diff-stages and git-resolve have been removed.
* New commands and options.
- "git log" and friends take --reverse, which instructs them
to give their output in the order opposite from their usual.
They typically output from new to old, but with this option
their output would read from old to new. "git shortlog"
usually lists older commits first, but with this option,
they are shown from new to old.
- "git log --pretty=format:<string>" to allow more flexible
custom log output.
- "git diff" learned --ignore-space-at-eol. This is a weaker
form of --ignore-space-change.
- "git diff --no-index pathA pathB" can be used as diff
replacement with git specific enhancements.
- "git diff --no-index" can read from '-' (standard input).
- "git diff" also learned --exit-code to exit with non-zero
status when it found differences. In the future we might
want to make this the default but that would be a rather big
backward incompatible change; it will stay as an option for
now.
- "git diff --quiet" is --exit-code with output turned off,
meant for scripted use to quickly determine if there is any
tree-level difference.
- Textual patch generation with "git diff" without -w/-b
option has been significantly optimized. "git blame" got
faster because of the same change.
- "git log" and "git rev-list" has been optimized
significantly when they are used with pathspecs.
- "git branch --track" can be used to set up configuration
variables to help it easier to base your work on branches
you track from a remote site.
- "git format-patch --attach" now emits attachments. Use
--inline to get an inlined multipart/mixed.
- "git name-rev" learned --refs=<pattern>, to limit the tags
used for naming the given revisions only to the ones
matching the given pattern.
- "git remote update" is to run "git fetch" for defined remotes
to update tracking branches.
- "git cvsimport" can now take '-d' to talk with a CVS
repository different from what are recorded in CVS/Root
(overriding it with environment CVSROOT does not work).
- "git bundle" can help sneaker-netting your changes between
repositories.
- "git mergetool" can help 3-way file-level conflict
resolution with your favorite graphical merge tools.
- A new configuration "core.symlinks" can be used to disable
symlinks on filesystems that do not support them; they are
checked out as regular files instead.
- You can name a commit object with its first line of the
message. The syntax to use is ':/message text'. E.g.
$ git show ":/object name: introduce ':/<oneline prefix>' notation"
means the same thing as:
$ git show 28a4d940443806412effa246ecc7768a21553ec7
- "git bisect" learned a new command "run" that takes a script
to run after each revision is checked out to determine if it
is good or bad, to automate the bisection process.
- "git log" family learned a new traversal option --first-parent,
which does what the name suggests.
* Updated behavior of existing commands.
- "git-merge-recursive" used to barf when there are more than
one common ancestors for the merge, and merging them had a
rename/rename conflict. This has been fixed.
- "git fsck" does not barf on corrupt loose objects.
- "git rm" does not remove newly added files without -f.
- "git archimport" allows remapping when coming up with git
branch names from arch names.
- git-svn got almost a rewrite.
- core.autocrlf configuration, when set to 'true', makes git
to convert CRLF at the end of lines in text files to LF when
reading from the filesystem, and convert in reverse when
writing to the filesystem. The variable can be set to
'input', in which case the conversion happens only while
reading from the filesystem but files are written out with
LF at the end of lines. Currently, which paths to consider
'text' (i.e. be subjected to the autocrlf mechanism) is
decided purely based on the contents, but the plan is to
allow users to explicitly override this heuristic based on
paths.
- The behavior of 'git-apply', when run in a subdirectory,
without --index nor --cached were inconsistent with that of
the command with these options. This was fixed to match the
behavior with --index. A patch that is meant to be applied
with -p1 from the toplevel of the project tree can be
applied with any custom -p<n> option. A patch that is not
relative to the toplevel needs to be applied with -p<n>
option with or without --index (or --cached).
- "git diff" outputs a trailing HT when pathnames have embedded
SP on +++/--- header lines, in order to help "GNU patch" to
parse its output. "git apply" was already updated to accept
this modified output format since ce74618d (Sep 22, 2006).
- "git cvsserver" runs hooks/update and honors its exit status.
- "git cvsserver" can be told to send everything with -kb.
- "git diff --check" also honors the --color output option.
- "git name-rev" used to stress the fact that a ref is a tag too
much, by saying something like "v1.2.3^0~22". It now says
"v1.2.3~22" in such a case (it still says "v1.2.3^0" if it does
not talk about an ancestor of the commit that is tagged, which
makes sense).
- "git rev-list --boundary" now shows boundary markers for the
commits omitted by --max-age and --max-count condition.
- The configuration mechanism now reads $(prefix)/etc/gitconfig.
- "git apply --verbose" shows what preimage lines were wanted
when it couldn't find them.
- "git status" in a read-only repository got a bit saner.
- "git fetch" (hence "git clone" and "git pull") are less
noisy when the output does not go to tty.
- "git fetch" between repositories with many refs were slow
even when there are not many changes that needed
transferring. This has been sped up by partially rewriting
the heaviest parts in C.
- "git mailinfo" which splits an e-mail into a patch and the
meta-information was rewritten, thanks to Don Zickus. It
handles nested multipart better. The command was broken for
a brief period on 'master' branch since 1.5.0 but the
breakage is fixed now.
- send-email learned configurable bcc and chain-reply-to.
- "git remote show $remote" also talks about branches that
would be pushed if you run "git push remote".
- Using objects from packs is now seriously optimized by clever
use of a cache. This should be most noticeable in git-log
family of commands that involve reading many tree objects.
In addition, traversing revisions while filtering changes
with pathspecs is made faster by terminating the comparison
between the trees as early as possible.
* Hooks
- The part to send out notification e-mails was removed from
the sample update hook, as it was not an appropriate place
to do so. The proper place to do this is the new post-receive
hook. An example hook has been added to contrib/hooks/.
* Others
- git-revert, git-gc and git-cherry-pick are now built-ins.
Fixes since v1.5.0
------------------
These are all in v1.5.0.x series.
* Documentation updates
- Clarifications and corrections to 1.5.0 release notes.
- The main documentation did not link to git-remote documentation.
- Clarified introductory text of git-rebase documentation.
- Converted remaining mentions of update-index on Porcelain
documents to git-add/git-rm.
- Some i18n.* configuration variables were incorrectly
described as core.*; fixed.
- added and clarified core.bare, core.legacyheaders configurations.
- updated "git-clone --depth" documentation.
- user-manual updates.
- Options to 'git remote add' were described insufficiently.
- Configuration format.suffix was not documented.
- Other formatting and spelling fixes.
- user-manual has better cross references.
- gitweb installation/deployment procedure is now documented.
* Bugfixes
- git-upload-pack closes unused pipe ends; earlier this caused
many zombies to hang around.
- git-rerere was recording the contents of earlier hunks
duplicated in later hunks. This prevented resolving the same
conflict when performing the same merge the other way around.
- git-add and git-update-index on a filesystem on which
executable bits are unreliable incorrectly reused st_mode
bits even when the path changed between symlink and regular
file.
- git-daemon marks the listening sockets with FD_CLOEXEC so
that it won't be leaked into the children.
- segfault from git-blame when the mandatory pathname
parameter was missing was fixed; usage() message is given
instead.
- git-rev-list did not read $GIT_DIR/config file, which means
that did not honor i18n.logoutputencoding correctly.
- Automated merge conflict handling when changes to symbolic
links conflicted were completely broken. The merge-resolve
strategy created a regular file with conflict markers in it
in place of the symbolic link. The default strategy,
merge-recursive was even more broken. It removed the path
that was pointed at by the symbolic link. Both of these
problems have been fixed.
- 'git diff maint master next' did not correctly give combined
diff across three trees.
- 'git fast-import' portability fix for Solaris.
- 'git show-ref --verify' without arguments did not error out
but segfaulted.
- 'git diff :tracked-file `pwd`/an-untracked-file' gave an extra
slashes after a/ and b/.
- 'git format-patch' produced too long filenames if the commit
message had too long line at the beginning.
- Running 'make all' and then without changing anything
running 'make install' still rebuilt some files. This
was inconvenient when building as yourself and then
installing as root (especially problematic when the source
directory is on NFS and root is mapped to nobody).
- 'git-rerere' failed to deal with two unconflicted paths that
sorted next to each other.
- 'git-rerere' attempted to open(2) a symlink and failed if
there was a conflict. Since a conflicting change to a
symlink would not benefit from rerere anyway, the command
now ignores conflicting changes to symlinks.
- 'git-repack' did not like to pass more than 64 arguments
internally to underlying 'rev-list' logic, which made it
impossible to repack after accumulating many (small) packs
in the repository.
- 'git-diff' to review the combined diff during a conflicted
merge were not reading the working tree version correctly
when changes to a symbolic link conflicted. It should have
read the data using readlink(2) but read from the regular
file the symbolic link pointed at.
- 'git-remote' did not like period in a remote's name.
- 'git.el' honors the commit coding system from the configuration.
- 'blameview' in contrib/ correctly digs deeper when a line is
clicked.
- 'http-push' correctly makes sure the remote side has leading
path. Earlier it started in the middle of the path, and
incorrectly.
- 'git-merge' did not exit with non-zero status when the
working tree was dirty and cannot fast forward. It does
now.
- 'cvsexportcommit' does not lose yet-to-be-used message file.
- int-vs-size_t typefix when running combined diff on files
over 2GB long.
- 'git apply --whouch unmodified
lines.
- 'git-mailinfo' choke when a logical header line was too long.
- 'git show A..B' did not error out. Negative ref ("not A" in
this example) does not make sense for the purpose of the
command, so now it errors out.
- 'git fmt-merge-msg --file' without file parameter did not
correctly error out.
- 'git archimport' barfed upon encountering a commit without
summary.
- 'git index-pack' did not protect itself from getting a short
read out of pread(2).
- 'git http-push' had a few buffer overruns.
- Build dependency fixes to rebuild fetch.o when other headers
change.
- git.el does not add duplicate sign-off lines.
- git-commit shows the full stat of the resulting commit, not
just about the files in the current directory, when run from
a subdirectory.
- "git-checkout -m '@{8 hours ago}'" had a funny failure from
eval; fixed.
- git-merge (hence git-pull) did not refuse fast-forwarding
when the working tree had local changes that would have
conflicted with it.
- a handful small fixes to gitweb.
- build procedure for user-manual is fixed not to require locally
installed stylesheets.
- "git commit $paths" on paths whose earlier contents were
already updated in the index were failing out.
* Tweaks
- sliding mmap() inefficiently mmaped the same region of a
packfile with an access pattern that used objects in the
reverse order. This has been made more efficient.

Changes from the announce mails:
Subject: [5][ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.4.1.1
The primary purpose of this release is to fix the breakage
people reported while cloning large quantity of data via git
protocol, and the server side incorrectly timing out. I am very
sorry for the breakage.
A big thanks goes to Matthias Lederhofer who fixed the breakage
for us. The fix was cherry-picked from the "master" branch.
Subject: [5][ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.4.2.1
This release is primarily for these two fixes:
* git-mv was broken. Notably, this did not work:
git-mv foo foo-renamed
* git-http-fetch failed to follow objects/info/alternates on
the remote side. This broke a fetch from Paul's powerpc.git
repository.
Subject: [5][ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.4.2.2
This is strictly a bugfix release. While we will soon be in
stabilization slow-down for 1.4.3, one of the bugs this release
contains fixes for actually has bitten people who use the kernel
commits mailing list, so this is to push the fixes out early.
Subject: [5][ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.4.2.3
Sorry to be doing two maintenance releases in rapid succession,
but git-mv breakage causes random tree corruption and is rather
serious.
Subject: [5][ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.4.2.4
We are close to 1.4.3, so this update could become moot very
soon, but just in case we have to delay it, I am pushing this
out for a rather important performance fix. Without it, "git
diff" on 64-bit machines can run 100x times slower than it
should be on unfortunate input.
Many thanks go to Jim Mayering for giving an easy to reproduce
initial problem report, and Linus and Davide Libenzi to quickly
come up with a fix.

Subject: [5][ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.4.3.1
This is primarily to work around changes in the recent GNU diff output
format. Also it contains irritation fix for "git diff" which now
paginates its output by default.
Subject: [5][ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.4.3.2
This is primarily to fix two rather embarrasing breakage
discovered post 1.4.3.1 release.
- The pager change to default to LESS=FRS exposed problem with less
that switches to alternate screen, shows its output and then switches
back immediately from the alternate screen afterwards -- which means
the user would not have a chance to see _anything_.
- Older upload-pack protocol clients did not pass host= and recent
git-daemon change to support virtual hosting did not handle this
correctly (although it attempted to do so, the check was borked).
Subject: [5][ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.4.3.3
Sorry to be doing three follow-up releases in a row. This is
primarily fix the partitioning of programs in generated RPM. If
you are installing all of git it does not matter, but by mistake
we were placing git-archive into git-arch subpackage, which
meant that you need to install tla only to use git-tar-tree and
git-archive --format=zip.
Thanks for Gerrit for noticing and reporting it, although he is
from Debian camp ;-).
Subject: [5][ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.4.3.4
Among many minor fixes and documentation updates, this contains these
fixes:
- revision traversal now treats --unpacked as commit filter,
not traversal limiter. If you have unpacked commits that are
parents of packed ones which are in turn parents of commits
that are unpacked, running rev-list starting at the latest
unpacked commits used to _stop_ at the first packed commit
and older unpacked commits were not shown. With this update,
the traversal does not stop at packed commits, and shows the
older unpacked commits. The updated semantics is easier to
use with git-repack --unpacked.
- In a repository configured for shared access, if the
permission bits of existing directories are misconfigured
(e.g. running repository commands as root by mistake), a
codepath to create a new object failed with incorrect error
message. Fixed.
- An earlier fix to cope with traditional-style patches that
were generated with --unified=0 broke handling of creation
and deletion diffs in git-apply. Fixed.
Subject: [5][ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.4.3.5
The 'master' front has been very quiet and it will hopefully
soon produce 1.4.4 but in the meantime here is primarily to fix
git-svn correctness issues.
Subject: [6][ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.4.3
User visible changes, other than bugfixes, since v1.4.2.4 are:
- upload-tar is deprecated but not removed; we now have
upload-archive --format=tar and --format=zip instead.
- ftp:// protocol is supported the same way as http:// and
https://
- git-diff paginates its output to the tty by default. If this
irritates you, using LESS=RF might help.
- git-cherry-pick does not leave often useless "cherry-picked
from" message.
- git-merge-recursive was replaced by a rewritten implemention
in C. The original Python implementation is available as
"recursive-old" strategy for now, but hopefully we can remove
it in the next cycle.
- git-daemon can do name based virtual hosting.
- git-daemon can serve tar and zip snapshots.
- many gitweb tweaks and cleanups.
- git-apply --reverse, --reject.
- git-diff --color highlights whitespace errors.
- git-diff --stat can be taught to use non-default widths.
- git-status can use colors.
- many more commands are built-in.
Subject: [5][ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.4.4.1
This contains mostly small post-release fixups.
Subject: [5][ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.4.4
Quite a lot of changes during the last month.
- pack-refs, along with a lot of internal clean-up of the code
that deal with refs, is in. A repository with many tags
would benefit from packing and pruning them. Currently dumb
transports are not capable of fetching from a repository that
has packed and pruned its refs, so please keep that in mind.
Hopefully we will get an update for dumb transports shortly.
- git native transport can now keep transferred packs without
exploding it into loose objects. Also "git repack" can be
told to keep "historical" packs from getting repacked by
marking them with .keep file. Docmentation update is
probably needed.
- git-blame can now detect line movements across files. No, it
is not called git-pickaxe.
- a lot of gitweb and git-svn updates.

GIT is a "directory content manager" designed to handle absolutely massive
projects with speed and efficiency, and the release of the 2.6.12 (and later)
versions of the Linux kernel as well as more and more other projects switching
to it would indicate that it does this task well.
GIT falls in the category of distributed source code management tools, similar
to e.g. GNU Arch or Monotone (or, in the commercial world, BitKeeper). Every
GIT working directory is a full-fledged repository with full revision tracking
capabilities, not dependent on network access to a central server.
