| Git v1.7.1 Release Notes
 | |
| ========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| Updates since v1.7.0
 | |
| --------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Eric Raymond is the maintainer of updated CIAbot scripts, in contrib/.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * gitk updates.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively ask
 | |
|    for a password can be told to use an external program given via
 | |
|    GIT_ASKPASS.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Conflict markers that lead the common ancestor in diff3-style output
 | |
|    now have a label, which hopefully would help third-party tools that
 | |
|    expect one.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Comes with an updated bash-completion script.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git am" learned "--keep-cr" option to handle inputs that are
 | |
|    a mixture of changes to files with and without CRLF line endings.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git cvsimport" learned -R option to leave revision mapping between
 | |
|    CVS revisions and resulting git commits.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git diff --submodule" notices and describes dirty submodules.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git for-each-ref" learned %(symref), %(symref:short) and %(flag)
 | |
|    tokens.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git hash-object --stdin-paths" can take "--no-filters" option now.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git init" can be told to look at init.templatedir configuration
 | |
|    variable (obviously that has to come from either /etc/gitconfig or
 | |
|    $HOME/.gitconfig).
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git grep" learned "--no-index" option, to search inside contents that
 | |
|    are not managed by git.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git grep" learned --color=auto/always/never.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git grep" learned to paint filename and line-number in colors.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git log -p --first-parent -m" shows one-parent diff for merge
 | |
|    commits, instead of showing combined diff.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git merge-file" learned to use custom conflict marker size and also
 | |
|    to use the "union merge" behaviour.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git notes" command has been rewritten in C and learned many commands
 | |
|    and features to help you carry notes forward across rebases and amends.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git request-pull" identifies the commit the request is relative to in
 | |
|    a more readable way.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git reset" learned "--keep" option that lets you discard commits
 | |
|    near the tip while preserving your local changes in a way similar
 | |
|    to how "git checkout branch" does.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git status" notices and describes dirty submodules.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git svn" should work better when interacting with repositories
 | |
|    with CRLF line endings.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git imap-send" learned to support CRAM-MD5 authentication.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "gitweb" installation procedure can use "minified" js/css files
 | |
|    better.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Various documentation updates.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Fixes since v1.7.0
 | |
| ------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| All of the fixes in v1.7.0.X maintenance series are included in this
 | |
| release, unless otherwise noted.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git add frotz/nitfol" did not complain when the entire frotz/ directory
 | |
|    was ignored.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git diff --stat" used "int" to count the size of differences,
 | |
|    which could result in overflowing.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git rev-list --pretty=oneline" didn't terminate a record with LF for
 | |
|    commits without any message.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git rev-list --abbrev-commit" defaulted to 40-byte abbreviations, unlike
 | |
|    newer tools in the git toolset.
