1 GIT v1.5.1 Release Notes
2 ========================
7 * Deprecated commands and options.
9 - git-diff-stages and git-resolve have been removed.
11 * New commands and options.
13 - "git log" and friends take --reverse. This makes output
14 that typically goes reverse order in chronological order.
15 "git shortlog" usually lists commits in chronological order,
16 but with "--reverse", they are shown in reverse
19 - "git diff" learned --ignore-space-at-eol. This is a weaker
20 form of --ignore-space-change.
22 - "git name-rev" learned --refs=<pattern>, to limit the tags
23 used for naming the given revisions only to the ones
24 matching the given pattern.
26 * Updated behaviour of existing commands.
28 - "git diff" outputs a trailing HT when pathnames have embedded
29 SP on +++/--- header lines, in order to help "GNU patch" to
30 parse its output. "git apply" was already updated to accept
31 this modified output format since ce74618d (Sep 22, 2006).
35 - The sample update hook to show how to send out notification
36 e-mail was updated to show only new commits that appeared in
37 the repository. Earlier, it showed new commits that appeared
