It does not attempt to deltify blobs that + come from paths with delta attribute set to false. + + - new-workdir script (in contrib) can now be used with a bare + repository. + + +* Builds + + - + +* Performance Tweaks + + - git-pack-objects avoids re-deltification cost by caching + small enough delta results it creates while looking for the + best delta candidates. + + - diff-delta code that is used for packing has been improved + to work better on big files. + + - when there are more than one pack files in the repository, + the runtime used to try finding an object always from the + newest packfile; it now tries the same packfile as we found + the object requested the last time, which exploits the + locality of references. + +Fixes since v1.5.2 +------------------ + +All of the fixes in v1.5.2 maintenance series are included in +this release, unless otherwise noted. + +* Bugfixes + + - ....
