All messages will be sent - as a reply to the first message, i.e. cover letter. - - It has been possible to configure send-email to send "shallow thread" - by setting sendemail.chainreplyto configuration variable to false. The - only thing this release does is to change the default when you haven't - configured that variable. - - * "git status" is not "git commit --dry-run" anymore. This change does - not affect you if you run the command without pathspec. - - * "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 this release, the "ignore whitespaces" options affect the semantics - of the diff operation. A change that does not affect anything but - whitespaces is reported with zero exit status when run with - --exit-code, and there is no "diff --git" header for such a change. - - -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. - -(portability) - -(performance) - -(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). - - * "git checkout A...B" is a way to detach HEAD at the merge base between - A and B. - - * "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 fetch --all" can now be used in place of "git remote update". - - * "git push" learned "git push origin --delete branch", a syntactic sugar - for "git push origin :branch". - - * "git rebase --onto A...B" means the history is replayed on top of the - merge base between A and B. - - * Use of "git reset --merge" has become easier when resetting away a - conflicted mess left in the work tree. - - * "git status" learned "-s(hort)" output format. - -(developers) - - * The infrastructure to build foreign SCM interface has been updated. - - -Fixes since v1.6.6 ------------------- - -All of the fixes in v1.6.6.X maintenance series are included in this -release, unless otherwise noted. - --- -exec >/var/tmp/1 -O=v1.6.6-242-gf287c65 -echo O=$(git describe master) -git shortlog --no-merges $O..master ^maint |
