The command correctly diagnoses it as an error. + + * "git config" used to be also known as "git repo-config", but the old + name is now officially deprecated. + + * "git checkout --detach <commit>" is a more user friendly synonym for + "git checkout <commit>^0". + + * "git checkout" performed on detached HEAD gives a warning and + advice when the commit being left behind will become unreachable from + any branch or tag. + + * "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can be told to use a custom merge + strategy, similar to "git rebase". + + * "git cherry-pick" remembers which commit failed to apply when it is + stopped by conflicts, making it unnecessary to use "commit -c $commit" + to conclude it. + + * "git cvsimport" bails out immediately when the cvs server cannot be + reached, without spewing unnecessary error messages that complain about + the server response it never got. + + * "git grep --no-index" did not honor pathspecs correctly, returning + paths outside the specified area. + + * "git log" type commands now understand globbing pathspecs. You + can say "git log -- '*.txt'" for example. + + * "git rev-list --objects $revs -- $pathspec" now limits the objects listed + in its output properly with the pathspec, in preparation for narrow + clones. + + * "git push" with no parameters gives better advice messages when + "tracking" is used as the push.default semantics or there is no remote + configured yet. + + * "git rerere" learned a new subcommand "remaining" that is similar to + "status" and lists the paths that had conflicts which are known to + rerere, but excludes the paths that have already been marked as + resolved in the index from its output. "git mergetool" has been + updated to use this facility. + + * A possible value to the "push.default" configuration variable, + 'tracking', gained a synonym that more naturally describes what it + does, 'upstream'. + +Also contains various documentation updates. + + +Fixes since v1.7.4 +------------------ + +All of the fixes in the v1.7.4.X maintenance series are included in this +release, unless otherwise noted. + + * We used to keep one file descriptor open for each and every packfile + that we have a mmap window on it (read: "in use"), even when for very + tiny packfiles. We now close the file descriptor early when the entire + packfile fits inside one mmap window. + + * "git apply" used to confuse lines updated by previous hunks as lines + that existed before when applying a hunk, contributing misapplication + of patches with offsets. + + * "git checkout $other_branch" silently removed untracked symbolic links + in the working tree that are in the way in order to check out paths + under it from the named branch (js/checkout-untracked-symlink). + + * "git submodule update" used to honor the --merge/--rebase option (or + corresponding configuration variables) even for a newly cloned + subproject, which made no sense (so/submodule-no-update-first-time). + +--- +exec >/var/tmp/1 +O=v1.7.4.1-291-g01de349 +echo O=$(git describe 'master') +git shortlog --no-merges ^maint ^$O master diff --git a/Documentation/git-add.txt b/Documentation/git-add.txt index a03448f923..7eebbefe7b 100644 --- a/Documentation/git-add.txt +++ b/Documentation/git-add.txt @@ -378,14 +378,6 @@ linkgit:git-mv[1] linkgit:git-commit[1] linkgit:git-update-index[1] -Author ------- -Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> - -Documentation --------------- -Documentation by Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. - GIT --- Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite diff --git a/Documentation/git-am.txt b/Documentation/git-am.txt index 51297d09ec..621b720091 100644 --- a/Documentation/git-am.txt +++ b/Documentation/git-am.txt @@ -189,15 +189,6 @@ SEE ALSO -------- linkgit:git-apply[1]. - -Author ------- -Written by Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> - -Documentation --------------- -Documentation by Petr Baudis, Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. - GIT --- Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite diff --git a/Documentation/git-annotate.txt b/Documentation/git-annotate.txt index 0590eec056..9eb75c37da 100644 --- a/Documentation/git-annotate.txt +++ b/Documentation/git-annotate.txt @@ -27,10 +27,6 @@ SEE ALSO -------- linkgit:git-blame[1] -AUTHOR ------- -Written by Ryan Anderson <ryan@michonline.com>. - GIT --- Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite diff --git a/Documentation/git-apply.txt b/Documentation/git-apply.txt index 2dcfc097d3..afd2c9ae59 100644 --- a/Documentation/git-apply.txt +++ b/Documentation/git-apply.txt @@ -246,20 +246,10 @@ If `--index` is not specified, then the submodule commits in the patch are ignored and only the absence or presence of the corresponding subdirectory is checked and (if possible) updated. - SEE ALSO -------- linkgit:git-am[1]. - -Author ------- -Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> - -Documentation --------------- -Documentation by Junio C Hamano - GIT --- Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite diff --git a/Documentation/git-archimport.txt b/Documentation/git-archimport.txt index 2411ce5bfe..f4504ba9bf 100644 --- a/Documentation/git-archimport.txt +++ b/Documentation/git-archimport.txt @@ -107,14 +107,6 @@ OPTIONS Archive/branch identifier in a format that `tla log` understands. -Author ------- -Written by Martin Langhoff <martin@laptop.org>. - -Documentation --------------- -Documentation by Junio C Hamano, Martin Langhoff and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. - GIT --- Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite diff --git a/Documentation/git-archive.txt b/Documentation/git-archive.txt index bf5037ab2a..f2b8684596 100644 --- a/Documentation/git-archive.txt +++ b/Documentation/git-archive.txt @@ -153,14 +153,6 @@ SEE ALSO -------- linkgit:gitattributes[5] -Author ------- -Written by Franck Bui-Huu and Rene Scharfe. - -Documentation --------------- -Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. - GIT --- Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite diff --git a/Documentation/git-bisect.txt b/Documentation/git-bisect.txt index 1701e42e4a..4b4b096ce5 100644 --- a/Documentation/git-bisect.txt +++ b/Documentation/git-bisect.txt @@ -327,14 +327,6 @@ $ git bisect run sh -c "make || exit 125;
