In Git 2.0, the default will change to the "simple" +semantics that pushes the current branch to the branch with the same +name, only when the current branch is set to integrate with that +remote branch. There is a user preference configuration variable +"push.default" to change this. If you are an old-timer who is used +to the "matching" semantics, you can set it to "matching" to keep the +traditional behaviour. If you want to live in the future early, +you can set it to "simple" today without waiting for Git 2.0. + +When "git add -u" and "git add -A", that does not specify what paths +to add on the command line is run from inside a subdirectory, these +commands will operate on the entire tree in Git 2.0 for consistency +with "git commit -a" and other commands. Because there will be no +mechanism to make "git add -u" behave as if "git add -u .", it is +important for those who are used to "git add -u" (without pathspec) +updating the index only for paths in the current subdirectory to start +training their fingers to explicitly say "git add -u ." when they mean +it before Git 2.0 comes. + + +Updates since v1.8.2 +-------------------- + +UI, Workflows & Features + + + +Foreign Interface + + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, etc. + + + +Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. + + +Fixes since v1.8.2 +------------------ + +Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.8.2 in the maintenance +track are contained in this release (see release notes to them for +details). -- cgit v1.2.3
