This is really really - verbose but it might help you identify exact commit that is - corrupt in your repository. - - - "git format-patch" learned --numbered-files option. This - may be useful for MH users. - - - "git tag -n -l" shows tag annotations while listing tags. - - - "git cvsimport" can optionally use the separate-remote layout. - - - "git blame" can be told to see through commits that changes - whitespaces and indentation levels with "-w" option. - - - "git send-email" can be told not to thread the messages when - sending out more than one patches. - - - "git config" learned NUL terminated output format via -z to - help scripts. - -* Updated behavior of existing commands. - - - "git mergetool" chooses its backend more wisely, taking - notice of its environment such as use of X, Gnome/KDE, etc. - - - "gitweb" shows merge commits a lot nicer than before. The - default view uses more compact --cc format, while the UI - allows to choose normal diff with any parent. - - - snapshot files "gitweb" creates from a repository at - $path/$project/.git are more useful. We use $project part - in the filename, which we used to discard. - - - "git cvsimort" creates lightweight tag; there is not any - interesting information we can record in an annotated tag, - and the handcrafted ones the old code created was not - properly formed anyway. - - - "git-push" pretends that you immediately fetched back from - the remote by updating corresponding remote tracking - branches if you have any. - - - The diffstat given after a merge (or a pull) honors the - color.diff configuration. - - - "git-apply --whitespace=strip" removes blank lines added at - the end of the file. - - - "git-fetch" over git native protocols with -v shows connection - status, and the IP address of the other end, to help - diagnosing problems. - - - We used to have core.legacyheaders configuration, when - set to false, allowed git to write loose objects in a format - that mimicks the format used by objects stored in packs. It - turns out that this was not so useful. Although we will - continue to read objects written in that format, we do not - honor that configuration anymore and create loose objects in - the legacy/traditional format. - - - "--find-copies-harder" option to diff family can now be - spelled as "-C -C" for brevity. - - - "git-mailsplit" (hence "git-am") can read from Maildir - formatted mailboxes. - - - "git-cvsserver" does not barf upon seeing "cvs login" - request. - - - "pack-objects" honors "delta" attribute set in - .gitattributes. 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. - - - "git-mergetool" learned to use gvimdiff. - - - "gitview" (in contrib) has a better blame interface. - - - "git log" and friends did not handle a commit log message - that is larger than 16kB; they do now. - - - "--pretty=oneline" output format for "git log" and friends - deals with "malformed" commit log messages that have more - than one lines in the first paragraph better. We used to - show the first line, cutting the title at mid-sentence; we - concatenate them into a single line and treat the result as - "oneline". - -* Builds - - - old-style function definitions (most notably, a function - without parameter defined with "func()", not "func(void)") - have been eradicated. - -* 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. - - - verifying pack contents done by "git fsck --full" got boost - by carefully choosing the order to verify objects in them. - - -Fixes since v1.5.2 ------------------- - -All of the fixes in v1.5.2 maintenance series are included in -this release, unless otherwise noted. - -* Bugfixes - - - "gitweb" had trouble handling non UTF-8 text with older - Encode.pm Perl module. - --- -exec >/var/tmp/1 -O=v1.5.2.2-603-g7c85173 -echo O=`git describe refs/heads/master` -git shortlog --no-merges $O..refs/heads/master ^refs/heads/maint |
