1 Git v1.7.1 Release Notes (draft)
2 ================================
4 Updates since v1.7.0
5 --------------------
7 * Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively ask
8 password can be told to use an external program given via GIT_ASKPASS.
10 * Color values given to "color.<cmd>.<slot>" configuration can now have
11 more than one attributes (e.g. "bold ul").
13 * "git apply --whitespace=fix" didn't work well when an early patch in
14 a patch series adds trailing blank lines and a later one depended on
15 such a block of blank lines at the end.
17 * "git am" learned "--keep-cr" option to handle inputs that are
18 mixture of changes to files with and without CRLF line endings.
20 * "git cvsimport" learned -R option to leave revision mapping between
21 CVS revisions and resulting git commits.
23 * "git for-each-ref" learned %(symref), %(symref:short) and %(flag)
24 tokens.
26 * "git hash-object --stdin-paths" can take "--no-filters" option now.
28 * "git init" can be told to look at init.templatedir configuration
29 variable (obviously that has to come from either /etc/gitconfig or
30 $HOME/.gitconfig).
32 * "git grep" learned "--no-index" option, to search inside contents that
33 are not managed by git.
35 * "git grep" learned --color=auto/always/never.
37 * "git grep" learned to paint filename and line-number in colors.
39 * "git merge-file" learned to use custom conflict marker size and also use
40 the "union merge" behaviour.
42 * "git notes" command has been rewritten in C and learned quite a
43 many commands.
45 * "git request-pull" identifies the commit the request is relative to in
46 a more readable way.
48 * "git reset" learned "--keep" option that lets you discard commits
49 near the tip while preserving your local changes in a way similar
50 to how "git checkout branch" does.
52 * "git svn" should work better when interacting with repositories
53 with CRLF line endings.
55 * "git imap-send" learned to support CRAM-MD5 authentication.
57 Fixes since v1.7.0
58 ------------------
60 All of the fixes in v1.7.0.X maintenance series are included in this
61 release, unless otherwise noted.
63 * "git add frotz/nitfol" did not complain when the entire frotz/ directory
64 was ignored.
