| GIT v1.5.6 Release Notes |
| ======================== |
| |
| Updates since v1.5.5 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| (subsystems) |
| |
| |
| (portability) |
| |
| |
| (performance) |
| |
| * "git rebase --onto $there $from $branch" used to switch to the tip of |
| $branch only to immediately reset back to $from, smudging work tree |
| files unnecessarily. This has been optimized. |
| |
| (usability, bells and whistles) |
| |
| * "git add -p" (and the "patch" subcommand of "git add -i") can choose to |
| apply (or not apply) mode changes independently from contents changes. |
| |
| * "git bisect help" gives longer and more helpful usage information. |
| |
| * "git diff/log --dirstat" output is consistent between binary and textual |
| changes. |
| |
| * "git gc --auto" honors a new pre-aut-gc hook to temporarily disable it. |
| |
| * "git log --pretty=tformat:<custom format>" gives a LF after each entry, |
| instead of giving a LF between each pair of entries which is how |
| "git log --pretty=format:<custom format>" works. |
| |
| * "git send-email" now can send out messages outside a git repository. |
| |
| * "git status" can optionally include output from "git submodule |
| summary". |
| |
| * "gitweb" can read from a system-wide configuration file. |
| |
| (internal) |
| |
| * "git unpack-objects" and "git receive-pack" is now more strict about |
| detecting breakage in the objects they receive over the wire. |
| |
