1 Git v1.7.5 Release Notes (draft)
2 ========================
4 Updates since v1.7.4
5 --------------------
7 * Various MinGW portability fixes.
9 * Various git-p4 enhancements (in contrib).
11 * "git config" used to be also known as "git repo-config", but the old
12 name is now officially deprecated.
14 * "git checkout --detach <commit>" is a more user friendly synonym for
15 "git checkout <commit>^0".
17 * "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can be told to use custom merge
18 strategy, similar to "git rebase".
20 * "rev-list --objects $revs -- $pathspec" would limit the objects listed
21 in its output properly with the pathspec, in preparation for narrow
22 clones.
24 * "git log" family of commands now understand globbing pathspecs. You
25 can say "git log -- '*.txt'" for example.
27 * "git rerere" learned a new subcommand "remaining", that is similar to
28 "status" that lists the paths that had conflicts that are known to
29 rerere, but excludes the paths that have already been marked as
30 resolved in the index from its output. "git mergetool" has been
31 updated to use this facility.
33 * A possible value to the "push.default" configuration variable,
34 'tracking', gained a synonym that more naturally describes what it
35 does, 'upstream'.
37 Also contains various documentation updates.
40 Fixes since v1.7.4
41 ------------------
43 All of the fixes in the v1.7.4.X maintenance series are included in this
44 release, unless otherwise noted.
46 * "git merge" triggers prepare-commit-msg hook. Earlier, only "git
47 commit" to conclude an interrupted merge triggered the hook, leading to
48 an inconsistent overall user experience (js/maint-merge-use-prepare-commit-msg-hook).
