| Git ???? Release Notes |
| ====================== |
| |
| Updates since v2.3 |
| ------------------ |
| |
| Ports |
| |
| |
| UI, Workflows & Features |
| |
| * The command usage info strings given by "git cmd -h" and in |
| documentation have been tweaked for consistency. |
| |
| * The "sync" subcommand of "git p4" now allows users to exclude |
| subdirectories like its "clone" subcommand does. |
| |
| * "git log --invert-grep --grep=WIP" will show only commits that do |
| not have the string "WIP" in their messages. |
| |
| * "git push" has been taught a "--atomic" option that makes push to |
| update more than one ref an "all-or-none" affair. |
| |
| * Extending the "push to deploy" added in 2.3, the behaviour of "git |
| push" when updating the branch that is checked out can now be |
| tweaked by push-to-checkout hook. |
| |
| |
| Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
| |
| * Implementation of N_() macro has been updated slightly to help us |
| detect mistakes. |
| |
| * Implementation of "reflog expire" has been restructured to fit the |
| reflogs better with the recently updated ref API. |
| |
| |
| Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
| |
| |
| Fixes since v2.3 |
| ---------------- |
| |
| Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.3 in the maintenance |
| track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' |
| notes for details). |
| |
| * "git blame HEAD -- missing" failed to correctly say "HEAD" when it |
| tried to say "No such path 'missing' in HEAD". |
| (merge a46442f jk/blame-commit-label later to maint). |
| |
| * "git rerere" (invoked internally from many mergy operations) did |
| not correctly signal errors when told to update the working tree |
| files and failed to do so for whatever reason. |
| (merge 89ea903 jn/rerere-fail-on-auto-update-failure later to maint). |
| |
| * Setting diff.submodule to 'log' made "git format-patch" produce |
| broken patches. |
| (merge 339de50 dk/format-patch-ignore-diff-submodule later to maint). |
| |
| * After attempting and failing a password-less authentication |
| (e.g. kerberos), libcURL refuses to fall back to password based |
| Basic authentication without a bit of help/encouragement. |
| (merge 4dbe664 bc/http-fallback-to-password-after-krb-fails later to maint). |
