10 UI, Workflows & Features
12 * The command usage info strings given by "git cmd -h" and in
13 documentation have been tweaked for consistency.
15 * The "sync" subcommand of "git p4" now allows users to exclude
16 subdirectories like its "clone" subcommand does.
18 * "git log --invert-grep --grep=WIP" will show only commits that do
19 not have the string "WIP" in their messages.
21 * "git push" has been taught a "--atomic" option that makes push to
22 update more than one ref an "all-or-none" affair.
24 * Extending the "push to deploy" added in 2.3, the behaviour of "git
25 push" when updating the branch that is checked out can now be
26 tweaked by push-to-checkout hook.
29 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
31 * Implementation of N_() macro has been updated slightly to help us
34 * Implementation of "reflog expire" has been restructured to fit the
35 reflogs better with the recently updated ref API.
38 Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
44 Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.3 in the maintenance
45 track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
48 * "git blame HEAD -- missing" failed to correctly say "HEAD" when it
49 tried to say "No such path 'missing' in HEAD".
50 (merge a46442f jk/blame-commit-label later to maint).
52 * "git rerere" (invoked internally from many mergy operations) did
53 not correctly signal errors when told to update the working tree
54 files and failed to do so for whatever reason.
55 (merge 89ea903 jn/rerere-fail-on-auto-update-failure later to maint).
57 * Setting diff.submodule to 'log' made "git format-patch" produce
59 (merge 339de50 dk/format-patch-ignore-diff-submodule later to maint).
61 * After attempting and failing a password-less authentication
62 (e.g. kerberos), libcURL refuses to fall back to password based
63 Basic authentication without a bit of help/encouragement.
64 (merge 4dbe664 bc/http-fallback-to-password-after-krb-fails later to maint).
