1 Git v1.7.1 Release Notes (draft)
2 ================================
4 Updates since v1.7.0
5 --------------------
7 * Eric Raymond is the maintainer of updated CIAbot scripts, in contrib/.
9 * Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively ask
10 password can be told to use an external program given via GIT_ASKPASS.
12 * Conflict markers that lead the common ancestor in diff3-style output
13 now has a label, which hopefully would help third-party tools that
14 expect one.
16 * Comes with an updated bash-completion script.
18 * "git am" learned "--keep-cr" option to handle inputs that are
19 mixture of changes to files with and without CRLF line endings.
21 * "git cvsimport" learned -R option to leave revision mapping between
22 CVS revisions and resulting git commits.
24 * "git diff --submodule" notices and descries dirty submodules.
26 * "git for-each-ref" learned %(symref), %(symref:short) and %(flag)
27 tokens.
29 * "git hash-object --stdin-paths" can take "--no-filters" option now.
31 * "git init" can be told to look at init.templatedir configuration
32 variable (obviously that has to come from either /etc/gitconfig or
33 $HOME/.gitconfig).
35 * "git grep" learned "--no-index" option, to search inside contents that
36 are not managed by git.
38 * "git grep" learned --color=auto/always/never.
40 * "git grep" learned to paint filename and line-number in colors.
42 * "git log -p --first-parent -m" shows one-parent diff for merge
43 commits, instead of showing combined diff.
45 * "git merge-file" learned to use custom conflict marker size and also use
46 the "union merge" behaviour.
48 * "git notes" command has been rewritten in C and learned quite a
49 many commands and features to help you carry notes forward across
50 rebases and amends.
52 * "git request-pull" identifies the commit the request is relative to in
53 a more readable way.
55 * "git reset" learned "--keep" option that lets you discard commits
56 near the tip while preserving your local changes in a way similar
57 to how "git checkout branch" does.
59 * "git status" notices and descries dirty submodules.
61 * "git svn" should work better when interacting with repositories
62 with CRLF line endings.
64 * "git imap-send" learned to support CRAM-MD5 authentication.
66 Fixes since v1.7.0
67 ------------------
69 All of the fixes in v1.7.0.X maintenance series are included in this
70 release, unless otherwise noted.
72 * "git add frotz/nitfol" did not complain when the entire frotz/ directory
73 was ignored.
75 * "git rev-list --pretty=oneline" didn't terminate a record with LF for
76 commits without any message.
78 * "git rev-list --abbrev-commit" defaulted to 40-byte abbreviations, unlike
79 newer tools in the git toolset.
