ChangeLogs:
Updates since v1.6.6
--------------------
(subsystems)
* "git fast-import" updates; adds "option" and "feature" to detect the
mismatch between fast-import and the frontends that produce the input
stream.
* "git svn" support of subversion "merge tickets" and miscellaneous fixes.
* "gitk" and "git gui" translation updates.
* "gitweb" updates (code clean-up, load checking etc.)
(portability)
* Some more MSVC portability patches for msysgit port.
* Minimum Pthreads emulation for msysgit port.
(performance)
* More performance improvement patches for msysgit port.
(usability, bells and whistles)
* More commands learned "--quiet" and "--[no-]progress" options.
* Various commands given by the end user (e.g. diff.type.textconv,
and GIT_EDITOR) can be specified with command line arguments. E.g. it
is now possible to say "[diff "utf8doc"] textconv = nkf -w".
* "sparse checkout" feature allows only part of the work tree to be
checked out.
* HTTP transfer can use authentication scheme other than basic
(i.e./e.g. digest).
* Switching from a version of superproject that used to have a submodule
to another version of superproject that no longer has it did not remove
the submodule directory when it should (namely, when you are not
interested in the submodule at all and didn't clone/checkout).
* A new attribute conflict-marker-size can be used to change the size of
the conflict markers from the default 7; this is useful when tracked
contents (e.g. git-merge documentation) have strings that resemble the
conflict markers.
* A new syntax "<branch>@{upstream}" can be used on the command line to
substitute the name of the "upstream" of the branch. Missing branch
defaults to the current branch, so "git fetch && git merge @{upstream}"
will be equivalent to "git pull".
* "git am --resolved" has a synonym "git am --continue".
* "git branch --set-upstream" can be used to update the (surprise!) upstream,
i.e. where the branch is supposed to pull and merge from (or rebase onto).
* "git checkout A...B" is a way to detach HEAD at the merge base between
A and B.
* "git checkout -m path" to reset the work tree file back into the
conflicted state works even when you already ran "git add path" and
resolved the conflicts.
* "git commit --date='<date>'" can be used to override the author date
just like "git commit --author='<name> <email>'" can be used to
override the author identity.
* "git commit --no-status" can be used to omit the listing of the index
and the work tree status in the editor used to prepare the log message.
* "git commit" warns a bit more aggressively until you configure user.email,
whose default value almost always is not (and fundamentally cannot be)
what you want.
* "git difftool" has been extended to make it easier to integrate it
with gitk.
* "git fetch --all" can now be used in place of "git remote update".
* "git grep" does not rely on external grep anymore. It can use more than
one thread to accelerate the operation.
* "git grep" learned "--quiet" option.
* "git log" and friends learned "--glob=heads/*" syntax that is a more
flexible way to complement "--branches/--tags/--remotes".
* "git merge" learned to pass options specific to strategy-backends. E.g.
- "git merge -Xsubtree=path/to/directory" can be used to tell the subtree
strategy how much to shift the trees explicitly.
- "git merge -Xtheirs" can be used to auto-merge as much as possible,
while discarding your own changes and taking merged version in
conflicted regions.
* "git push" learned "git push origin --delete branch", a syntactic sugar
for "git push origin :branch".
* "git push" learned "git push --set-upstream origin forker:forkee" that
lets you configure your "forker" branch to later pull from "forkee"
branch at "origin".
* "git rebase --onto A...B" means the history is replayed on top of the
merge base between A and B.
* "git rebase -i" learned new action "fixup" that squashes the change
but does not affect existing log message.
* "git rebase -i" also learned --autosquash option that is useful
together with the new "fixup" action.
* "git remote" learned set-url subcommand that updates (surprise!) url
for an existing remote nickname.
* "git rerere" learned "forget path" subcommand. Together with "git
checkout -m path" it will be useful when you recorded a wrong
resolution.
* Use of "git reset --merge" has become easier when resetting away a
conflicted mess left in the work tree.
* "git rerere" had rerere.autoupdate configuration but there was no way
to countermand it from the command line; --no-rerere-autoupdate option
given to "merge", "revert", etc. fixes this.
* "git status" learned "-s(hort)" output format.
(developers)
* The infrastructure to build foreign SCM interface has been updated.
* Many more commands are now built-in.
* THREADED_DELTA_SEARCH is no more. If you build with threads, delta
compression will always take advantage of it.
Fixes since v1.6.6
------------------
* "git branch -d branch" used to refuse deleting the branch even when
the branch is fully merged to its upstream branch if it is not merged
to the current branch. It now deletes it in such a case.
* "fiter-branch" command incorrectly said --prune-empty and --filter-commit
were incompatible; the latter should be read as --commit-filter.
* When using "git status" or asking "git diff" to compare the work tree
with something, they used to consider that a checked-out submodule with
uncommitted changes is not modified; this could cause people to forget
committing these changes in the submodule before committing in the
superproject. They now consider such a change as a modification and
"git diff" will append a "-dirty" to the work tree side when generating
patch output or when used with the --submodule option.
Fixes since v1.7.0
------------------
* In a freshly created repository "rev-parse HEAD^0" complained that
it is dangling symref, even though "rev-parse HEAD" didn't.
* "git show :no-such-name" tried to access the index without bounds
check, leading to a potential segfault.
* Message from "git cherry-pick" was harder to read and use than necessary
when it stopped due to conflicting changes.
* We referred to ".git/refs/" throughout the documentation when we
meant to talk about abstract notion of "ref namespace". Because
people's repositories often have packed refs these days, this was
confusing.
* "git diff --output=/path/that/cannot/be/written" did not correctly
error out.
* "git grep -e -pattern-that-begin-with-dash paths..." could not be
spelled as "git grep -- -pattern-that-begin-with-dash paths..." which
would be a GNU way to use "--" as "end of options".
* "git grep" compiled with threading support tried to access an
uninitialized mutex on boxes with a single CPU.
* "git stash pop -q --index" failed because the unnecessary --index
option was propagated to "git stash drop" that is internally run at the
end.
Fixes since v1.7.0.1
--------------------
* GIT_PAGER was not honored consistently by some scripted Porcelains, most
notably "git am".
* updating working tree files after telling git to add them to the
index and while it is still working created garbage object files in
the repository without diagnosing it as an error.
* "git bisect -- pathspec..." did not diagnose an error condition properly when
the simplification with given pathspec made the history empty.
* "git rev-list --cherry-pick A...B" now has an obvious optimization when the
histories haven't diverged (i.e. when one end is an ancestor of the other).
* "git diff --quiet -w" did not work as expected.
* "git fast-import" didn't work with a large input, as it lacked support
for producing the pack index in v2 format.
* "git imap-send" didn't use CRLF line endings over the imap protocol
when storing its payload to the draft box, violating RFC 3501.
* "git log --format='%w(x,y,z)%b'" and friends that rewrap message
has been optimized for utf-8 payload.
* Error messages generated on the receiving end did not come back to "git
push".
* "git status" in 1.7.0 lacked the optimization we used to have in 1.6.X
* "gitweb" did not diagnose parsing errors properly while reading tis configuration
file.
Fixes since v1.7.0.2
--------------------
* Object files are created in a more ACL friendly way in repositories
where group permission is ACL controlled.
* "git add -i" didn't handle a deleted path very well.
* "git blame" padded line numbers with one extra SP when the total number
of lines was one less than multiple of ten due to an off-by-one error.
* "git fetch --all/--multi" used to discard information for remotes that
are fetched earlier.
* "git log --author=me --grep=it" tried to find commits that have "it"
or are written by "me", instead of the ones that have "it" _and_ are
written by "me".
* "git log -g branch" misbehaved when there was no entries in the reflog
for the named branch.
* "git mailinfo" (hence "git am") incorrectly removed initial indent from
paragraphs.
* "git prune" and "git reflog" (hence "git gc" as well) didn't honor
an instruction never to expire by setting gc.reflogexpire to never.
* "git push" misbehaved when branch.<name>.merge was configured without
matching branch.<name>.remote.
Fixes since v1.7.0.3
--------------------
* Optimized ntohl/htonl on big-endian machines were broken.
* Color values given to "color.<cmd>.<slot>" configuration can now have
more than one attributes (e.g. "bold ul").
* "git add -u nonexistent-path" did not complain.
* "git apply --whitespace=fix" didn't work well when an early patch in
a patch series adds trailing blank lines and a later one depended on
such a block of blank lines at the end.
* "git fast-export" didn't check error status and stop when marks file
cannot be opened.
* "git format-patch --ignore-if-in-upstream" gave unwarranted errors
when the range was empty, instead of silently finishing.
* "git remote prune" did not detect remote tracking refs that became
dangling correctly.
Fixes since v1.7.0.4
--------------------
* "git daemon" failed to compile on platforms without sockaddr_storage type.
* Output from "git rev-list --pretty=oneline" was unparsable when a
commit did not have any message, which is abnormal but possible in a
repository converted from foreign scm.
* "git stash show <commit-that-is-not-a-stash>" gave an error message
that was not so useful. Reworded the message to "<it> is not a
stash".
* Python scripts in contrib/ area now start with "#!/usr/bin/env python"
to honor user's PATH.
* "git imap-send" used to mistake any line that begins with "From " as a
message separator in format-patch output.
* Smart http server backend failed to report an internal server error and
infinitely looped instead after output pipe was closed.
|
|
Changes:
* recursive merge didn't correctly diagnose its own programming errors,
and instead caused the caller to segfault.
* The new "smart http" aware clients probed the web servers to see if
they support smart http, but did not fall back to dumb http transport
correctly with some servers.
* Time based reflog syntax e.g. "@{yesterday}" didn't diagnose a misspelled
time specification and instead assumed "@{now}".
* "git archive HEAD -- no-such-directory" produced an empty archive
without complaining.
* "git blame -L start,end -- file" misbehaved when given a start that is
larger than the number of lines in the file.
* "git checkout -m" didn't correctly call custom merge backend supplied
by the end user.
* "git config -f <file>" misbehaved when run from a subdirectory.
* "git cvsserver" didn't like having regex metacharacters (e.g. '+') in
CVSROOT environment.
* "git fast-import" did not correctly handle large blobs that may
bust the pack size limit.
* "git gui" is supposed to work even when launched from inside a .git
directory.
* "git gui" misbehaved when applying a hunk that ends with deletion.
* "git imap-send" did not honor imap.preformattedHTML as documented.
* "git log" family incorrectly showed the commit notes unconditionally by
mistake, which was especially irritating when running "git log --oneline".
* "git status" shouldn't require an write access to the repository.
* Other minor documentation updates are included.
|
|
Changes:
* "git blame" did not work well when commit lacked the author name.
* "git branch -a name" wasn't diagnosed as an error.
* "git count-objects" did not handle packfiles that are bigger than 4G on
platforms with 32-bit off_t.
* "git checkout -m other" while on a branch that does not have any commit
segfaulted, instead of failing.
* "git fast-import" choked when fed a tag that do not point at a
commit.
* "git grep" finding from work tree files could have fed garbage to
the underlying regexec(3).
* "git grep -L" didn't show empty files (they should never match, and
they should always appear in -L output as unmatching).
* "git rebase -i" did not abort cleanly if it failed to launch the editor.
* "git reset --hard" did not work correctly when GIT_WORK_TREE environment
variable is used to point at the root of the true work tree.
* http-backend was not listed in the command list in the documentation.
* Building on FreeBSD (both 7 and 8) needs OLD_ICONV set in the Makefile
* "git checkout -m some-branch" while on an unborn branch crashed.

Git v1.6.6 Release Notes
========================
Notes on behaviour change
-------------------------
* In this release, "git fsck" defaults to "git fsck --full" and
checks packfiles, and because of this it will take much longer to
complete than before. If you prefer a quicker check only on loose
objects (the old default), you can say "git fsck --no-full". This
has been supported by 1.5.4 and newer versions of git, so it is
safe to write it in your script even if you use slightly older git
on some of your machines.
Preparing yourselves for compatibility issues in 1.7.0
------------------------------------------------------
In git 1.7.0, which is planned to be the release after 1.6.6, there will
be a handful of behaviour changes that will break backward compatibility.
These changes were discussed long time ago and existing behaviours have
been identified as more problematic to the userbase than keeping them for
the sake of backward compatibility.
When necessary, a transition strategy for existing users has been designed
not to force them running around setting configuration variables and
updating their scripts in order to either keep the traditional behaviour
or adjust to the new behaviour, on the day their sysadmin decides to install
the new version of git. When we switched from "git-foo" to "git foo" in
1.6.0, even though the change had been advertised and the transition
guide had been provided for a very long time, the users procrastinated
during the entire transtion period, and ended up panicking on the day
their sysadmins updated their git installation. We are trying to avoid
repeating that unpleasantness in the 1.7.0 release.
For changes decided to be in 1.7.0, commands that will be affected
have been much louder to strongly discourage such procrastination, and
they continue to be in this release. If you have been using recent
versions of git, you would have seen warnings issued when you used
features whose behaviour will change, with a clear instruction on how
to keep the existing behaviour if you want to. You hopefully are
already well prepared.
Of course, we have also been giving "this and that will change in
1.7.0; prepare yourselves" warnings in the release notes and
announcement messages for the past few releases. Let's see how well
users will fare this time.
* "git push" into a branch that is currently checked out (i.e. pointed by
HEAD in a repository that is not bare) will be refused by default.
Similarly, "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.
Setting the configuration variables receive.denyCurrentBranch and
receive.denyDeleteCurrent to 'ignore' in the receiving repository
can be used to override these safety features. Versions of git
since 1.6.2 have issued a loud warning when you tried to do these
operations without setting the configuration, so repositories of
people who still need to be able to perform such a push should
already have been future proofed.
Please refer to:
http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#non-bare
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/107758/focus=108007
for more details on the reason why this change is needed and the
transition process that already took place so far.
* "git send-email" will not make deep threads by default when sending a
patch series with more than two messages. All messages will be sent
as a reply to the first message, i.e. cover letter. Git 1.6.6 (this
release) will issue a warning about the upcoming default change, when
it uses the traditional "deep threading" behaviour as the built-in
default. To squelch the warning but still use the "deep threading"
behaviour, give --chain-reply-to option or set sendemail.chainreplyto
to true.
It has been possible to configure send-email to send "shallow thread"
by setting sendemail.chainreplyto configuration variable to false.
The only thing 1.7.0 release will do is to change the default when
you haven't configured that variable.
* "git status" will not be "git commit --dry-run". This change does not
affect you if you run the command without pathspec.
Nobody sane found the current behaviour of "git status Makefile" useful
nor meaningful, and it confused users. "git commit --dry-run" has been
provided as a way to get the current behaviour of this command since
1.6.5.
* "git diff" traditionally treated various "ignore whitespace" options
only as a way to filter the patch output. "git diff --exit-code -b"
exited with non-zero status even if all changes were about changing the
ammount of whitespace and nothing else. and "git diff -b" showed the
"diff --git" header line for such a change without patch text.
In 1.7.0, the "ignore whitespaces" will affect the semantics of the
diff operation itself. A change that does not affect anything but
whitespaces will be reported with zero exit status when run with
--exit-code, and there will not be "diff --git" header for such a
change.
Updates since v1.6.5
--------------------
(subsystems)
* various gitk updates including use of themed widgets under Tk 8.5,
Japanese translation, a fix to a bug when running "gui blame" from
a subdirectory, etc.
* various git-gui updates including new translations, wm states fixes,
Tk bug workaround after quitting, improved heuristics to trigger gc,
etc.
* various git-svn updates.
* "git fetch" over http learned a new mode that is different from the
traditional "dumb commit walker".
(portability)
* imap-send can be built on mingw port.
(performance)
* "git diff -B" has smaller memory footprint.
(usability, bells and whistles)
* The object replace mechanism can be bypassed with --no-replace-objects
global option given to the "git" program.
* In configuration files, a few variables that name paths can begin with ~/
and ~username/ and they are expanded as expected.
* "git subcmd -h" now shows short usage help for many more subcommands.
* "git bisect reset" can reset to an arbitrary commit.
* "git checkout frotz" when there is no local branch "frotz" but there
is only one remote tracking branch "frotz" is taken as a request to
start the named branch at the corresponding remote tracking branch.
* "git commit -c/-C/--amend" can be told with a new "--reset-author" option
to ignore authorship information in the commit it is taking the message
from.
* "git describe" can be told to add "-dirty" suffix with "--dirty" option.
* "git diff" learned --submodule option to show a list of one-line logs
instead of differences between the commit object names.
* "git diff" learned to honor diff.color.func configuration to paint
function name hint printed on the hunk header "@@ -j,k +l,m @@" line
in the specified color.
* "git fetch" learned --all and --multiple options, to run fetch from
many repositories, and --prune option to remove remote tracking
branches that went stale. These make "git remote update" and "git
remote prune" less necessary (there is no plan to remove "remote
update" nor "remote prune", though).
* "git fsck" by default checks the packfiles (i.e. "--full" is the
default); you can turn it off with "git fsck --no-full".
* "git grep" can use -F (fixed strings) and -i (ignore case) together.
* import-tars contributed fast-import frontend learned more types of
compressed tarballs.
* "git instaweb" knows how to talk with mod_cgid to apache2.
* "git log --decorate" shows the location of HEAD as well.
* "git log" and "git rev-list" learned to take revs and pathspecs from
the standard input with the new "--stdin" option.
* "--pretty=format" option to "log" family of commands learned:
. to wrap text with the "%w()" specifier.
. to show reflog information with "%g[sdD]" specifier.
* "git notes" command to annotate existing commits.
* "git merge" (and "git pull") learned --ff-only option to make it fail
if the merge does not result in a fast-forward.
* "git mergetool" learned to use p4merge.
* "git rebase -i" learned "reword" that acts like "edit" but immediately
starts an editor to tweak the log message without returning control to
the shell, which is done by "edit" to give an opportunity to tweak the
contents.
* "git send-email" can be told with "--envelope-sender=auto" to use the
same address as "From:" address as the envelope sender address.
* "git send-email" will issue a warning when it defaults to the
--chain-reply-to behaviour without being told by the user and
instructs to prepare for the change of the default in 1.7.0 release.
* In "git submodule add <repository> <path>", <path> is now optional and
inferred from <repository> the same way "git clone <repository>" does.
* "git svn" learned to read SVN 1.5+ and SVK merge tickets.
* "git svn" learned to recreate empty directories tracked only by SVN.
* "gitweb" can optionally render its "blame" output incrementally (this
requires JavaScript on the client side).
* Author names shown in gitweb output are links to search commits by the
author.
Fixes since v1.6.5
------------------
All of the fixes in v1.6.5.X maintenance series are included in this
release, unless otherwise noted.
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:
http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#non-bare
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/107758/focus=108007
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.
Fixes since v1.6.4
------------------
All of the fixes in v1.6.4.X maintenance series are included in this
release, unless otherwise noted.
|
|
Major changes:
* git-svn updates, including a new --authors-prog option to map author
names by invoking an external program, 'git svn reset' to unwind
'git svn fetch', support for more than one branches, documenting
of the useful --minimize-url feature, new "git svn gc" command, etc.
* We feed iconv with "UTF-8" instead of "utf8"; the former is
understood more widely. Similarly updated test scripts to use
encoding names more widely understood (e.g. use "ISO8859-1" instead
of "ISO-8859-1").
* Various portability fixes/workarounds for different vintages of
SunOS, IRIX, and Windows.
* Git-over-ssh transport on Windows supports PuTTY plink and TortoisePlink.
* Many repeated use of lstat() are optimized out in "checkout" codepath.
* git-status (and underlying git-diff-index --cached) are optimized
to take advantage of cache-tree information in the index.

improved Windows support.
* many uses of lstat(2) in the codepath for "git checkout" have been
optimized out.
* usuability improvements.
* bug fixes.

simple white-space issues like indentation and trailing spaces. The
others are cross-references for Makefile.common.

Major changes in 1.6.1:
When some commands (e.g. "git log", "git diff") spawn pager
internally, we used to make the pager the parent process of the git
command that produces output. This meant that the exit status of the
whole thing comes from the pager, not the underlying git command. We
swapped the order of the processes around and you will see the exit
code from the command from now on.
Major changes in 1.6.2:
With the next major release, "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.
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.
For a similar reason, "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch
$killed in a remote repository $there, if $killed branch is the
current branch pointed at by its HEAD, gets a large warning. You can
choose what should happen upon such a push by setting the
configuration variable receive.denyDeleteCurrent in the receiving
repository.

change ${.CURDIR}/../... to ../../devel/scmgit/...; makes
a lot more sense.
Fixes since v1.6.0.1
--------------------
* Installation on platforms that needs .exe suffix to git-* programs were
broken in 1.6.0.1.
* Installation on filesystems without symbolic links support did nto
work well.
* In-tree documentations and test scripts now use "git foo" form to set a
better example, instead of the "git-foo" form (which is an acceptable
form if you have "PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH" in your script)
* Many commands did not use the correct working tree location when used
with GIT_WORK_TREE environment settings.
* Some systems needs to use compatibility fnmach and regex libraries
independent from each other; the compat/ area has been reorganized to
allow this.
* "git apply --unidiff-zero" incorrectly applied a -U0 patch that inserts
a new line before the second line.
* "git blame -c" did not exactly work like "git annotate" when range
boundaries are involved.
* "git checkout file" when file is still unmerged checked out contents from
a random high order stage, which was confusing.
* "git clone $there $here/" with extra trailing slashes after explicit
local directory name $here did not work as expected.
* "git diff" on tracked contents with CRLF line endings did not drive "less"
intelligently when showing added or removed lines.
* "git diff --dirstat -M" did not add changes in subdirectories up
correctly for renamed paths.
* "git diff --cumulative" did not imply "--dirstat".
* "git for-each-ref refs/heads/" did not work as expected.
* "git gui" allowed users to feed patch without any context to be applied.
* "git gui" botched parsing "diff" output when a line that begins with two
dashes and a space gets removed or a line that begins with two pluses
and a space gets added.
* "git gui" translation updates and i18n fixes.
* "git index-pack" is more careful against disk corruption while completing
a thin pack.
* "git log -i --grep=pattern" did not ignore case; neither "git log -E
--grep=pattern" triggered extended regexp.
* "git log --pretty="%ad" --date=short" did not use short format when
showing the timestamp.
* "git log --author=author" match incorrectly matched with the
timestamp part of "author " line in commit objects.
* "git log -F --author=author" did not work at all.
* Build procedure for "git shell" that used stub versions of some
functions and globals was not understood by linkers on some platforms.
* "git stash" was fooled by a stat-dirty but otherwise unmodified paths
and refused to work until the user refreshed the index.
* "git svn" was broken on Perl before 5.8 with recent fixes to reduce
use of temporary files.
* "git verify-pack -v" did not work correctly when given more than one
packfile.
Also contains many documentation updates.

GIT v1.6.0.1 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.6.0
------------------
* "git diff --cc" did not honor content mangling specified by
gitattributes and core.autocrlf when reading from the work tree.
* "git diff --check" incorrectly detected new trailing blank lines when
whitespace check was in effect.
* "git for-each-ref" tried to dereference NULL when asked for '%(body)" on
a tag with a single incomplete line as its payload.
* "git format-patch" peeked before the beginning of a string when
"format.headers" variable is empty (a misconfiguration).
* "git help help" did not work correctly.
* "git mailinfo" (hence "git am") was unhappy when MIME multipart message
contained garbage after the finishing boundary.
* "git mailinfo" also was unhappy when the "From: " line only had a bare
e-mail address.
* "git merge" did not refresh the index correctly when a merge resulted in
a fast-forward.
* "git merge" did not resolve a truly trivial merges that can be done
without content level merges.
* "git svn dcommit" to a repository with URL that has embedded usernames
did not work correctly.
* Contains other various documentation fixes.

|GIT v1.6.0 Release Notes|
+========================+
User visible changes
- Templates now installed in ${PREFIX}/share/examples/scmgit/templates
and registered as REQD_FILES. Template subdirectories are
registered in MAKE_DIRS.
- Installing the many git-foo binaries/scripts into libexec/git-core
is now default and better supported. If you've written any
scripts or use any applications which expect the git-foo commands
to be in ${PREFIX}/bin, please do update them accordingly.
+--------------------+
|Updates since v1.5.6|
+--------------------+
(subsystems)
* git-p4 in contrib learned "allowSubmit" configuration to control on
which branch to allow "submit" subcommand.
* git-gui learned to stage changes per-line.
(portability)
* Changes for MinGW port have been merged, thanks to Johannes Sixt and
gangs.
* Sample hook scripts shipped in templates/ are now suffixed with
*.sample.
(documentation)
* Updated howto/update-hook-example
* Got rid of usage of "git-foo" from the tutorial and made typography
more consistent.
* Disambiguating "--" between revs and paths is finally documented.
(performance, robustness, sanity etc.)
* index-pack used too much memory when dealing with a deep delta chain.
This has been optimized.
* reduced excessive inlining to shrink size of the "git" binary.
* verify-pack checks the object CRC when using version 2 idx files.
* When an object is corrupt in a pack, the object became unusable even
when the same object is available in a loose form, We now try harder to
fall back to these redundant objects when able. In particular, "git
repack -a -f" can be used to fix such a corruption as long as necessary
objects are available.
* Performance of "git-blame -C -C" operation is vastly improved.
* git-clone does not create refs in loose form anymore (it behaves as
if you immediately ran git-pack-refs after cloning). This will help
repositories with insanely large number of refs.
* core.fsyncobjectfiles configuration can be used to ensure that the loose
objects created will be fsync'ed (this is only useful on filesystems
that does not order data writes properly).
* "git commit-tree" plumbing can make Octopus with more than 16 parents.
"git commit" has been capable of this for quite some time.
(usability, bells and whistles)
* even more documentation pages are now accessible via "man" and "git help".
* A new environment variable GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES can be used to stop
the discovery process of the toplevel of working tree; this may be useful
when you are working in a slow network disk and are outside any working
tree, as bash-completion and "git help" may still need to run in these
places.
* By default, stash entries never expire. Set reflogexpire in [gc
"refs/stash"] to a reasonable value to get traditional auto-expiration
behaviour back
* Longstanding latency issue with bash completion script has been
addressed. This will need to be backmerged to 'maint' later.
* pager.<cmd> configuration variable can be used to enable/disable the
default paging behaviour per command.
* "git-add -i" has a new action 'e/dit' to allow you edit the patch hunk
manually.
* git-am records the original tip of the branch in ORIG_HEAD before it
starts applying patches.
* git-apply can handle a patch that touches the same path more than once
much better than before.
* git-apply can be told not to trust the line counts recorded in the input
patch but recount, with the new --recount option.
* git-apply can be told to apply a patch to a path deeper than what the
patch records with --directory option.
* git-archive can be told to omit certain paths from its output using
export-ignore attributes.
* git-archive uses the zlib default compression level when creating
zip archive.
* git-archive's command line options --exec and --remote can take their
parameters as separate command line arguments, similar to other commands.
IOW, both "--exec=path" and "--exec path" are now supported.
* With -v option, git-branch describes the remote tracking statistics
similar to the way git-checkout reports by how many commits your branch
is ahead/behind.
* git-branch's --contains option used to always require a commit parameter
to limit the branches with; it now defaults to list branches that
contains HEAD if this parameter is omitted.
* git-branch's --merged and --no-merged option used to always limit the
branches relative to the HEAD, but they can now take an optional commit
argument that is used in place of HEAD.
* git-bundle can read the revision arguments from the standard input.
* git-cherry-pick can replay a root commit now.
* git-clone can clone from a remote whose URL would be rewritten by
configuration stored in $HOME/.gitconfig now.
* "git-clone --mirror" is a handy way to set up a bare mirror repository.
* git-cvsserver learned to respond to "cvs co -c".
* git-diff --check now checks leftover merge conflict markers.
* "git-diff -p" learned to grab a better hunk header lines in
BibTex, Pascal/Delphi, and Ruby files and also pays attention to
chapter and part boundary in TeX documents.
* When remote side used to have branch 'foo' and git-fetch finds that now
it has branch 'foo/bar', it refuses to lose the existing remote tracking
branch and its reflog. The error message has been improved to suggest
pruning the remote if the user wants to proceed and get the latest set
of branches from the remote, including such 'foo/bar'.
* fast-export learned to export and import marks file; this can be used to
interface with fast-import incrementally.
* fast-import and fast-export learned to export and import gitlinks.
* "gitk" left background process behind after being asked to dig very deep
history and the user killed the UI; the process is killed when the UI
goes away now.
* git-rebase records the original tip of branch in ORIG_HEAD before it is
rewound.
* "git rerere" can be told to update the index with auto-reused resolution
with rerere.autoupdate configuration variable.
* git-rev-parse learned $commit^! and $commit^@ notations used in "log"
family. These notations are available in gitk as well, because the gitk
command internally uses rev-parse to interpret its arguments.
* git-rev-list learned --children option to show child commits it
encountered during the traversal, instead of showing parent commits.
* git-send-mail can talk not just over SSL but over TLS now.
* git-shortlog honors custom output format specified with
"--pretty=format:".
* "git-stash save" learned --keep-index option. This lets you stash away
the local changes and bring the changes staged in the index to your
working tree for examination and testing.
* git-stash also learned branch subcommand to create a new branch out of
stashed changes.
* git-status gives the remote tracking statistics similar to the way
git-checkout reports by how many commits your branch is ahead/behind.
* "git-svn dcommit" is now aware of auto-props setting the subversion user
has.
* You can tell "git status -u" to even more aggressively omit checking
untracked files with --untracked-files=no.
* Original SHA-1 value for "update-ref -d" is optional now.
* Error codes from gitweb are made more descriptive where possible, rather
than "403 forbidden" as we used to issue everywhere.
(internal)
* git-merge has been reimplemented in C.
+------------------+
|Fixes since v1.5.6|
+------------------+
All of the fixes in v1.5.6 maintenance series are included in
this release, unless otherwise noted.
* git-clone ignored its -u option; the fix needs to be backported to
'maint';
* git-mv used to lose the distinction between changes that are staged
and that are only in the working tree, by staging both in the index
after moving such a path.
* "git-rebase -i -p" rewrote the parents to wrong ones when amending
(either edit or squash) was involved, and did not work correctly
when fast forwarding.

this ensures that git never has to install its own copy, thereby
avoiding future conflicts with devel/p5-Error. Plus, the pkgsrc
version is newer.
While here, set PKG_SYSCONFSUBDIR=git and explicitly specify sysconfdir
in CONFIGURE_ARGS. Remove trailing slash from GITCOREDIR.
Long list of changes since 1.5.6:
Fixes since v1.5.6.3
--------------------
* Various commands could overflow its internal buffer on a platform
with small PATH_MAX value in a repository that has contents with
long pathnames.
* There wasn't a way to make --pretty=format:%<> specifiers to honor
.mailmap name rewriting for authors and committers. Now you can with
%aN and %cN.
* Bash completion wasted too many cycles; this has been optimized to be
usable again.
* Bash completion lost ref part when completing something like "git show
pu:Makefile".
* "git-cvsserver" did not clean up its temporary working area after
annotate request.
* "git-daemon" called syslog() from its signal handler, which was a
no-no.
* "git-fetch" into an empty repository used to remind that the fetch will
be huge by saying "no common commits", but this was an unnecessary
noise; it is already known by the user anyway.
* "git-http-fetch" would have segfaulted when pack idx file retrieved
from the other side was corrupt.
* "git-index-pack" used too much memory when dealing with a deep delta
chain.
* "git-mailinfo" (hence "git-am") did not correctly handle in-body [PATCH]
line to override the commit title taken from the mail Subject header.
* "git-rebase -i -p" lost parents that are not involved in the history
being rewritten.
* "git-rm" lost track of where the index file was when GIT_DIR was
specified as a relative path.
* "git-rev-list --quiet" was not quiet as advertised.
Contains other various documentation fixes.
Fixes since v1.5.6.2
--------------------
* Setting core.sharerepository to traditional "true" value was supposed
to make the repository group writable but should not affect permission
for others. However, since 1.5.6, it was broken to drop permission
for others when umask is 022, making the repository unreadable by others.
* Setting GIT_TRACE will report spawning of external process via
run_command().
* Using an object with very deep delta chain pinned memory needed for
extracting intermediate base objects unnecessarily long,
leading to excess memory usage.
* Bash completion script did not notice '--' marker on the command
line and tried the relatively slow "ref completion" even when
completing arguments after one.
* Registering a non-empty blob racily and then truncating the working
tree file for it confused "racy-git avoidance" logic into thinking
that the path is now unchanged.
* The section that describes attributes related to git-archive were placed
in a wrong place in the gitattributes(5) manual page.
* "git am" was not helpful to the users when it detected that the committer
information is not set up properly yet.
* "git clone" had a leftover debugging fprintf().
* "git clone -q" was not quiet enough as it used to and gave object count
and progress reports.
* "git clone" marked downloaded packfile with .keep; this could be a
good thing if the remote side is well packed but otherwise not,
especially for a project that is not really big.
* "git daemon" used to call syslog() from a signal handler, which
could raise signals of its own but generally is not reentrant. This
was fixed by restructuring the code to report syslog() after the handler
returns.
* When "git push" tries to remove a remote ref, and corresponding
tracking ref is missing, we used to report error (i.e. failure to
remove something that does not exist).
* "git mailinfo" (hence "git am") did not handle commit log messages in a
MIME multipart mail correctly.
Futureproof
-----------
* "git-shell" accepts requests without a dash between "git" and
subcommand name (e.g. "git upload-pack") which the newer client will
start to make sometime in the future.
Fixes since v1.5.6.1
--------------------
* "git clone" from a remote that is named with url.insteadOf setting in
$HOME/.gitconfig did not work well.
* "git describe --long --tags" segfaulted when the described revision was
tagged with a lightweight tag.
* "git diff --check" did not report the result via its exit status
reliably.
* When remote side used to have branch 'foo' and git-fetch finds that now
it has branch 'foo/bar', it refuses to lose the existing remote tracking
branch and its reflog. The error message has been improved to suggest
pruning the remote if the user wants to proceed and get the latest set
of branches from the remote, including such 'foo/bar'.
* "git reset file" should mean the same thing as "git reset HEAD file",
but we required disambiguating -- even when "file" is not ambiguous.
* "git show" segfaulted when an annotated tag that points at another
annotated tag was given to it.
* Optimization for a large import via "git-svn" introduced in v1.5.6 had a
serious memory and temporary file leak, which made it unusable for
moderately large import.
* "git-svn" mangled remote nickname used in the configuration file
unnecessarily.
Fixes since v1.5.6
------------------
* Last minute change broke loose object creation on AIX.
* (performance fix) We used to make $GIT_DIR absolute path early in the
programs but keeping it relative to the current directory internally
gives 1-3 per-cent performance boost.
* bash completion knows the new --graph option to git-log family.
* git-diff -c/--cc showed unnecessary "deletion" lines at the context
boundary.
* git-for-each-ref ignored %(object) and %(type) requests for tag
objects.
* git-merge usage had a typo.
* Rebuilding of git-svn metainfo database did not take rewriteRoot
option into account.
* Running "git-rebase --continue/--skip/--abort" before starting a
rebase gave nonsense error messages.

GIT v1.5.5.1 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.5
------------------
* "git archive --prefix=$path/" mishandled gitattributes.
* "git fetch -v" that fetches into FETCH_HEAD did not report the summary
the same way as done for updating the tracking refs.
* "git svn" misbehaved when the configuration file customized the "git
log" output format using format.pretty.
* "git submodule status" leaked an unnecessary error message.
* "git log --date-order --topo-order" did not override the earlier
date-order with topo-order as expected.
* "git bisect good $this" did not check the validity of the revision
given properly.
* "url.<there>.insteadOf" did not work correctly.
* "git clean" ran inside subdirectory behaved as if the directory was
explicitly specified for removal by the end user from the top level.
* "git bisect" from a detached head leaked an unnecessary error message.
* "git bisect good $a $b" when $a is Ok but $b is bogus should have
atomically failed before marking $a as good.
* "git fmt-merge-msg" did not clean up leading empty lines from commit
log messages like "git log" family does.
* "git am" recorded a commit with empty Subject: line without
complaining.
* when given a commit log message whose first paragraph consists of
multiple lines, "git rebase" squashed it into a single line.
* "git remote add $bogus_name $url" did not complain properly.
* Also comes with various documentation updates.

The scmgit-base package now installs most of its binaries, e.g. git-*,
to ${PREFIX}/libexec/git-core/ instead of ${PREFIX}/bin. There are
only two programs under ${LOCALBASE}/bin: the "master" git(7) wrapper
program and the gitk tcl/tk repository browser. Given that there are
many different GIT interfaces (GUI applications, devel/tig, shell
completion scripts, etc.), it seemed needless to me to have 120+
binaries--a vast majority of which most users would seldom invoke
directly--polluting ${LOCALBASE}/bin.
GIT v1.5.5 Release Notes
========================
Updates since v1.5.4
--------------------
(subsystems)
* Comes with git-gui 0.10.1
(portability)
* We shouldn't ask for BSD group ownership semantics by setting g+s bit
on directories on older BSD systems that refuses chmod() by non root
users. BSD semantics is the default there anyway.
* Bunch of portability improvement patches coming from an effort to port
to Solaris has been applied.
(performance)
* On platforms with suboptimal qsort(3) implementation, there
is an option to use more reasonable substitute we ship with
our software.
* New configuration variable "pack.packsizelimit" can be used
in place of command line option --max-pack-size.
* "git fetch" over the native git protocol used to make a
connection to find out the set of current remote refs and
another to actually download the pack data. We now use only
one connection for these tasks.
* "git commit" does not run lstat(2) more than necessary
anymore.
(usability, bells and whistles)
* Bash completion script (in contrib) are aware of more commands and
options.
* You can be warned when core.autocrlf conversion is applied in
such a way that results in an irreversible conversion.
* A catch-all "color.ui" configuration variable can be used to
enable coloring of all color-capable commands, instead of
individual ones such as "color.status" and "color.branch".
* The commands refused to take absolute pathnames where they
require pathnames relative to the work tree or the current
subdirectory. They now can take absolute pathnames in such a
case as long as the pathnames do not refer outside of the
work tree. E.g. "git add $(pwd)/foo" now works.
* Error messages used to be sent to stderr, only to get hidden,
when $PAGER was in use. They now are sent to stdout along
with the command output to be shown in the $PAGER.
* A pattern "foo/" in .gitignore file now matches a directory
"foo". Pattern "foo" also matches as before.
* bash completion's prompt helper function can talk about
operation in-progress (e.g. merge, rebase, etc.).
* Configuration variables "url.<usethis>.insteadof = <otherurl>" can be
used to tell "git-fetch" and "git-push" to use different URL than what
is given from the command line.
* "git add -i" behaves better even before you make an initial commit.
* "git am" refused to run from a subdirectory without a good reason.
* After "git apply --whitespace=fix" fixes whitespace errors in a patch,
a line before the fix can appear as a context or preimage line in a
later patch, causing the patch not to apply. The command now knows to
see through whitespace fixes done to context lines to successfully
apply such a patch series.
* "git branch" (and "git checkout -b") to branch from a local branch can
optionally set "branch.<name>.merge" to mark the new branch to build on
the other local branch, when "branch.autosetupmerge" is set to
"always", or when passing the command line option "--track" (this option
was ignored when branching from local branches). By default, this does
not happen when branching from a local branch.
* "git checkout" to switch to a branch that has "branch.<name>.merge" set
(i.e. marked to build on another branch) reports how much the branch
and the other branch diverged.
* When "git checkout" has to update a lot of paths, it used to be silent
for 4 seconds before it showed any progress report. It is now a bit
more impatient and starts showing progress report early.
* "git commit" learned a new hook "prepare-commit-msg" that can
inspect what is going to be committed and prepare the commit
log message template to be edited.
* "git cvsimport" can now take more than one -M options.
* "git describe" learned to limit the tags to be used for
naming with --match option.
* "git describe --contains" now barfs when the named commit
cannot be described.
* "git describe --exact-match" describes only commits that are tagged.
* "git describe --long" describes a tagged commit as $tag-0-$sha1,
instead of just showing the exact tagname.
* "git describe" warns when using a tag whose name and path contradict
with each other.
* "git diff" learned "--relative" option to limit and output paths
relative to the current directory when working in a subdirectory.
* "git diff" learned "--dirstat" option to show birds-eye-summary of
changes more concisely than "--diffstat".
* "git format-patch" learned --cover-letter option to generate a cover
letter template.
* "git gc" learned --quiet option.
* "git gc" now automatically prunes unreachable objects that are two
weeks old or older.
* "git gc --auto" can be disabled more easily by just setting gc.auto
to zero. It also tolerates more packfiles by default.
* "git grep" now knows "--name-only" is a synonym for the "-l" option.
* "git help <alias>" now reports "'git <alias>' is alias to <what>",
instead of saying "No manual entry for git-<alias>".
* "git help" can use different backends to show manual pages and this can
be configured using "man.viewer" configuration.
* "gitk" does not restore window position from $HOME/.gitk anymore (it
still restores the size).
* "git log --grep=<what>" learned "--fixed-strings" option to look for
<what> without treating it as a regular expression.
* "git gui" learned an auto-spell checking.
* "git push <somewhere> HEAD" and "git push <somewhere> +HEAD" works as
expected; they push the current branch (and only the current branch).
In addition, HEAD can be written as the value of "remote.<there>.push"
configuration variable.
* When the configuration variable "pack.threads" is set to 0, "git
repack" auto detects the number of CPUs and uses that many threads.
* "git send-email" learned to prompt for passwords
interactively.
* "git send-email" learned an easier way to suppress CC
recipients.
* "git stash" learned "pop" command, that applies the latest stash and
removes it from the stash, and "drop" command to discard the named
stash entry.
* "git submodule" learned a new subcommand "summary" to show the
symmetric difference between the HEAD version and the work tree version
of the submodule commits.
* Various "git cvsimport", "git cvsexportcommit", "git cvsserver",
"git svn" and "git p4" improvements.
(internal)
* Duplicated code between git-help and git-instaweb that
launches user's preferred browser has been refactored.
* It is now easier to write test scripts that records known
breakages.
* "git checkout" is rewritten in C.
* "git remote" is rewritten in C.
* Two conflict hunks that are separated by a very short span of common
lines are now coalesced into one larger hunk, to make the result easier
to read.
* Run-command API's use of file descriptors is documented clearer and
is more consistent now.
* diff output can be sent to FILE * that is different from stdout. This
will help reimplementing more things in C.
Fixes since v1.5.4
------------------
All of the fixes in v1.5.4 maintenance series are included in
this release, unless otherwise noted.
* "git-http-push" did not allow deletion of remote ref with the usual
"push <remote> :<branch>" syntax.
* "git-rebase --abort" did not go back to the right location if
"git-reset" was run during the "git-rebase" session.
* "git imap-send" without setting imap.host did not error out but
segfaulted.

GIT v1.5.4.5 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.4.4
--------------------
* "git fetch there" when the URL information came from the Cogito style
branches/there file did not update refs/heads/there (regression in
1.5.4).
* Bogus refspec configuration such as "remote.there.fetch = =" were not
detected as errors (regressionin 1.5.4).
* You couldn't specify a custom editor whose path contains a whitespace
via GIT_EDITOR (and core.editor).
* The subdirectory filter to "git filter-branch" mishandled a history
where the subdirectory becomes empty and then later becomes non-empty.
* "git shortlog" gave an empty line if the original commit message was
malformed (e.g. a botched import from foreign SCM). Now it finds the
first non-empty line and uses it for better information.
* When the user fails to give a revision parameter to "git svn", an error
from the Perl interpreter was issued because the script lacked proper
error checking.
* After "git rebase" stopped due to conflicts, if the user played with
"git reset" and friends, "git rebase --abort" failed to go back to the
correct commit.
* Additional work trees prepared with git-new-workdir (in contrib/) did
not share git-svn metadata directory .git/svn with the original.
* "git-merge-recursive" did not mark addition of the same path with
different filemodes correctly as a conflict.
* "gitweb" gave malformed URL when pathinfo stype paths are in use.
* "-n" stands for "--no-tags" again for "git fetch".
* "git format-patch" did not detect the need to add 8-bit MIME header
when the user used format.header configuration.
* "rev~" revision specifier used to mean "rev", which was inconsistent
with how "rev^" worked. Now "rev~" is the same as "rev~1" (hence it
also is the same as "rev^1"), and "rev~0" is the same as "rev^0"
(i.e. it has to be a commit).
* "git quiltimport" did not grok empty lines, lines in "file -pNNN"
format to specify the prefix levels and lines with trailing comments.
* "git rebase -m" triggered pre-commit verification, which made
"rebase --continue" impossible.
As usual, it also comes with many documentation fixes and clarifications.

being passed in struct to localtime_r (convert from timeval to timespec).
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 1.4.2

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.
