+GIT v1.5.6 Release Notes
2
+========================
3
+
4
+Updates since v1.5.5
5
+--------------------
6
+
7
+(subsystems)
8
+
9
+
10
+(portability)
11
+
12
+
13
+(performance)
14
+
15
+* "git rebase --onto $there $from $branch" used to switch to the tip of
16
+ $branch only to immediately reset back to $from, smudging work tree
17
+ files unnecessarily. This has been optimized.
18
+
19
+(usability, bells and whistles)
20
+
21
+* "git add -p" (and the "patch" subcommand of "git add -i") can choose to
22
+ apply (or not apply) mode changes independently from contents changes.
23
+
24
+* "git bisect help" gives longer and more helpful usage information.
25
+
26
+* "git diff/log --dirstat" output is consistent between binary and textual
27
+ changes.
28
+
29
+* "git gc --auto" honors a new pre-aut-gc hook to temporarily disable it.
30
+
31
+* "git log --pretty=tformat:<custom format>" gives a LF after each entry,
32
+ instead of giving a LF between each pair of entries which is how
33
+ "git log --pretty=format:<custom format>" works.
34
+
35
+* "git send-email" now can send out messages outside a git repository.
36
+
37
+* "git status" can optionally include output from "git submodule
38
+ summary".
39
+
40
+* "gitweb" can read from a system-wide configuration file.
41
+
42
+(internal)
43
+
44
+* "git unpack-objects" and "git receive-pack" is now more strict about
45
+ detecting breakage in the objects they receive over the wire.
46
+
47
+
48
+Fixes since v1.5.5
49
+------------------
50
+

+All of the fixes in v1.5.5 maintenance series are included in
52
+this release, unless otherwise noted.
