Git v1.7.6 Release Notes (draft)
========================
Updates since v1.7.5
--------------------
* Various git-svn updates.
* Updates the way content tags are handled in gitweb.
* Similar to branch names, tagnames that begin with "-" are now
disallowed.
* Clean-up of the C part of i18n (but not l10n---please wait)
continues.
* Processes spawned by "[alias] <name> = !process" in the configuration
can inspect GIT_PREFIX environment variable to learn where in the
working tree the original command was invoked.
* "git blame" learned "--abbrev[=<n>]" option to control the minimum
number of hexdigits shown for commit object names.
* Aborting "git commit --interactive" discards updates to the index
made during the interctive session.
* "git commit" learned a "--patch" option to directly jump to the
per-hunk selection UI of the interactive mode.
* "git diff -C -C" used to disable the rename detection entirely when
there are too many copy candidate paths in the tree; now it falls
back to "-C" when doing so would keep the copy candidate paths
under the rename detection limit.
* "git diff" and its family of commands learned --dirstat=0 to show
directories that contribute less than 0.1% of changes.
* "git diff" and its family of commands learned --dirstat=lines mode to
assess damage to the directory based on number of lines in the patch
output, not based on the similarity numbers.
* "git format-patch" learned "--quiet" option to suppress the output of
the names of generated files.
* "git format-patch" quotes people's names when it has RFC822 special
characters in it, e.g. "Junio C. Hamano" <jch@example.com>. Earlier
it was up to the user to do this when using its output.
* "git log" and friends learned a new "--notes" option to replace the
"--show-notes" option. Unlike "--show-notes", "--notes=<ref>" does
not imply showing the default notes.
* "git merge" learned "-" as a short-hand for "the previous branch", just
like the way "git checkout -" works.
* "git merge" uses "merge.ff" configuration variable to decide to always
create a merge commit (i.e. --no-ff, aka merge.ff=no), refuse to create
a merge commit (i.e. --ff-only, aka merge.ff=only). Setting merge.ff=yes
(or not setting it at all) restores the default behaviour of allowing
fast-forward to happen when possible.
* p4-import (from contrib) learned a new option --preserve-user.
* "git rebase" that does not specify on top of which branch to rebase
the current branch now uses @{upstream} of the current branch.
* "git rev-list --count" used with "--cherry-mark" counts the cherry-picked
commits separately, producing more a useful output.
* "git submodule update" learned "--force" option to get rid of local
changes in submodules and replace them with the up-to-date version.
* "git status" and friends ignore .gitmodules file while the file is
still in a conflicted state during a merge, to avoid using information
that is not final and possibly corrupt with conflict markers.
* Compressed tarball gitweb generates is made without the timestamp of
the tarball generation; snapshot from the same tree should result in
a same tarball.
Also contains various documentation updates and minor miscellaneous
changes.
Fixes since v1.7.5
------------------
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes in 1.7.5.X maintenance track are
included in this release.
* Setting $(prefix) in config.mak did not affect where etc/gitconfig
file is read from, even though passing it from the command line of
$(MAKE) did.
(merge kk/maint-prefix-in-config-mak later)
* The bash completion scripts should correctly work using zsh's bash
completion emulation layer now.
(merge fc/completion-zsh later)
* The logic to handle "&" (expand to UNIX username) in GECOS field
miscounted the length of the name it formatted.
(merge rg/copy-gecos-username later)
* "git cherry-pick -s resolve" failed to cherry-pick a root commit.
(merge jk/cherry-pick-root-with-resolve later)
* "git config" used to choke with an insanely long line.
(merge ef/maint-strbuf-init later)
* "git log --stdin path" with an input that has additional pathspec
used to corrupt memory.
(merge jc/maint-pathspec-stdin-and-cmdline later)
* "git send-pack" (hence "git push") over smalt-HTTP protocol could
deadlock when the client side pack-object died early.
(merge js/maint-send-pack-stateless-rpc-deadlock-fix later)
(merge jk/git-connection-deadlock-fix later)
