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 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.
* "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
* 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 slowly getting removed, to make it
possible to cleanly restructure the overall refs 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).
* The error message emitted when we see an empty loose object was
not phrased correctly.
(merge 33e42de mm/empty-loose-error-message later to maint).
* "git commit" refused to create a commit when entries added with
"add -N" remained in the index, without telling Git what their content
in the next commit should be. We should have created the commit without
these paths.
(merge 3f6d56d jc/maint-commit-ignore-i-t-a later to maint).
* Search box in "gitweb" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly.
(merge 84d9e2d jn/gitweb-search-utf-8 later to maint).
* The code to ask for password did not fall back to the terminal
input when GIT_ASKPASS is set but does not work (e.g. lack of X
with GUI askpass helper).
(merge 84d7273 jk/prompt-fallback-to-tty later to maint).
* map_user() was not rewriting its output correctly, which resulted
in the user visible symptom that "git blame -e" sometimes showed
excess '>' at the end of email addresses.
(merge f026358 jc/maint-mailmap-output later to maint).
* "checkout -b" did not allow switching out of an unborn branch.
(merge abe1998 jc/checkout-out-of-unborn later to maint).
