1 git (1:1.8.4~rc0-1) experimental; urgency=low
3 Starting with this version, gitweb and "git daemon" on Debian are
4 configured to look for repositories under /var/lib/git by default
5 instead of /var/cache/git. You may want to adjust your inetd,
6 rsyncd, and web server configuration to use the new base path.
8 See /usr/share/doc/git/README.Debian for details.
10 Symlinks are installed during the upgrade to ensure existing
11 repositories remain accessible. If no local scripts or
12 configuration depend on /var/cache/git then it is safe to remove
13 the old directory after replacing these symlinks with their
16 mv --backup /var/cache/git/* /var/lib/git/

22 git (1:1.8.2~rc0-1) experimental; urgency=low
24 The default behavior of "git push" when run without specifying any
25 ref names will change in the upcoming Git 2.0 release.
27 The previous default behavior was to use "matching" semantics: push
28 all branches for which there is already a branch of the same name on
29 the remote end. The new default is "simple" semantics: push the
30 current branch to a branch of the same name, provided that "git
31 pull" is configured to integrate with that branch. You can get a
32 glimpse of the future with
34 echo '[push] default = simple' >>~/.gitconfig
36 See Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.2.txt and the entry on push.default
37 in git-config(1) for details.

41 git (1:1.8.0-1) experimental; urgency=low
43 Git's bash completion script is now loaded on the fly when tab
44 completion is attempted for the 'git' or 'gitk' command. This
45 change involved moving the completion script. If your ~/.bashrc
48 . /etc/bash_completion.d/git
50 then it should be corrected to
52 if [ -e /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git ]; then
53 . /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git
54 elif [ -e /etc/bash_completion.d/git ]; then
55 . /etc/bash_completion.d/git
60 . /etc/bash_completion
62 See /usr/share/doc/bash-completion/README.Debian for details.

66 git (1:1.7.0.4-2~exp0) experimental; urgency=low
68 The Debian package 'git-core' has been renamed to 'git'. Before
69 Debian version 5.0 (codenamed "lenny"), the 'git' package provided
70 the GNU Interactive Tools, and in the lenny release, it was renamed
71 to 'gnuit', leaving the 'git' package as a transitional dummy
74 If the GNU Interactive Tools package was installed with Debian
75 version 4.0 (etch) or earlier on this system, the new 'git' package
76 (a content addressable filesystem) may be installed on upgrade, even
77 though it was not installed before.
79 In this case, sorry for the hassle. Simply remove the new 'git'
80 package again if you're not interested in it:
82 # apt-get remove --purge git

86 git-core (1:1.6.0-1) experimental; urgency=low
88 Most of the programs are now installed outside the default $PATH,
89 except for "git", "gitk" and some server side programs that need
90 to be accessible for technical reasons. Invoking a git subcommand
91 as "git-xyzzy" from the command line has been deprecated since
92 early 2006 (and officially announced in the 1.5.4 release notes);
93 using the "git-xyzzy" form in scripts after adding the output from
94 "git --exec-path" to the $PATH is still supported in this release,
95 but users are again strongly encouraged to adjust their scripts to
96 use the "git xyzzy" form, as this support might be dropped in later
