1 Git v1.7.9 Release Notes (draft)
2 ========================
4 Updates since v1.7.8
5 --------------------
7 * Porcelain commands like "git reset" did not distinguish deletions
8 and type-changes from ordinary modification, and reported them with
9 the same 'M' moniker. They now use 'D' (for deletion) and 'T' (for
10 type-change) to match "git status -s" and "git diff --name-status".
12 * fsck and prune are relatively lengthy operations that still go
13 silent while making the end-user wait. They learned to give progress
14 output like other slow operations.
16 * The set of built-in function-header patterns for various languages
17 knows MATLAB.
19 May also contain documentation updates and code clean-ups.
22 Fixes since v1.7.8
23 ------------------
25 * In some codepaths (notably, checkout and merge), the ignore patterns
26 recorded in $GIT_DIR/info/exclude were not honored. They now are.
27 (merge fc001b5 nd/maint-ignore-exclude later to maint).
