Git v1.7.10 Release Notes
=========================
Updates since v1.7.9
--------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* Improved handling of views, labels and branches in git-p4 (in contrib).
* Updated command line arguments completion script for zsh (in contrib).
* "vcs-svn"/"svn-fe" learned to read dumps with svn-deltas and
support incremental imports.
* "git am" learned to pass "-b" option to underlying "git mailinfo", so
that bracketed string other than "PATCH" at the beginning can be kept.
* "git clone" learned "--single-branch" option to limit cloning to a
single branch (surprise!).
* "git clone" learned to detach the HEAD in the resulting repository
when the source repository's HEAD does not point to a branch.
* The commands in the "git diff" family and "git apply --stat" that
count the number of files changed and the number of lines
inserted/deleted have been updated to match the output from
"diffstat". This also opens the door to i18n this line.
* When showing a patch while ignoring whitespace changes, the context
lines are taken from the postimage, in order to make it easier to
view the output.
* "git grep" pays attention to -diff (hence -binary) attributes now.
* "git tag --list" can be given "--points-at <object>" to limit its
output to those that point at the given object.
* "git merge" in an interactive session learned to spawn the editor
by default to let the user edit the auto-generated merge message,
to encourage people to explain their merges better. Legacy scripts
can export MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no to retain the historical behaviour.
Both "git merge" and "git pull" can be given --no-edit from the
command line to accept the auto-generated merge message.
* "gitweb" allows intermediate entries in the directory hierarchy
that leads to a projects to be clicked, which in turn shows the
list of projects inside that directory.
Performance
* During "git upload-pack" in respose to "git fetch", unnecessary calls
to parse_object() have been eliminated, to help performance in
repositories with excessive number of refs.
Internal Implementation (please report possible regressions)
* Recursive call chains in "git index-pack" to deal with long delta
chains have been flattened, to reduce the stack footprint.
* Use of add_extra_ref() API is now gone, to make it possible to
cleanly restructure the overall refs API.
* The command line parser of "git pack-objects" now uses parse-options
API.
* The test suite supports the new "test_pause" helper function.
* t/Makefile is adjusted to prevent newer versions of GNU make from
running tests in seemingly random order.
Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
Fixes since v1.7.9
------------------
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.7.9 in the maintenance
releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
details).
* When you have both .../foo and .../foo.git, "git clone .../foo" did not
favor the former but the latter.
(merge b3256eb jk/git-dir-lookup later to maint).
* Some systems need to explicitly link -lcharset to get locale_charset().
(merge b522528 dp/i18n-libcharset later to maint).
* The output from "git diff --stat" for two paths that have the same
amount of changes showed graph bars of different length due to the
way we handled rounding errors.
(merge 2eeeef2 jc/diff-stat-scaler later to maint).
* We failed to give the true terminal width to any subcommand when
they are invoked with the pager, i.e. "git -p cmd".
(merge ad6c373 zj/term-columns later to maint).
* The transport programs ignored --no-progress and showed progress when
sending their output to a terminal.
(merge 01fdc21 cb/transfer-no-progress later to maint).
* Sometimes error status detected by a check in an earlier phase of
receive-pack (the other end of 'git push') was lost by later
checks, resulting in false indication of success.
(merge ef7e93d cb/receive-pack-keep-errors later to maint).
* t5541 ignored user-supplied port number used for HTTP server testing
(merge d202a51 cb/maint-t5541-make-server-port-portable later to maint).
* "rev-list --verify" sometimes skipped verification depending on the
phase of the moon, which dates back to 1.7.8.x series.
(merge cb8da70 cb/maint-rev-list-verify-object later to maint).
