+Git v1.7.8 Release Notes (draft)
2
+================================
3
+
4
+Updates since v1.7.7
5
+--------------------
6
+
7
+ * The build procedure has been taught to take advantage of computed
8
+ dependency automatically when the complier supports it.
9
+
10
+ * The date parser now accepts timezone designators that lack minutes
11
+ part and also has a colon between "hh:mm".
12
+
13
+ * "git am" learned how to read from patches generated by Hg.
14
+
15
+ * "git branch" learned an explicit --list option to ask for branches
16
+ listed, optionally with a glob matching pattern to limit its output.
17
+
18
+ * "git check-attr" learned "--cached" option to look at .gitattributes
19
+ files from the index, not from the working tree.
20
+
21
+ * Variants of "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" that take multiple
22
+ commits learned to "--continue".
23
+
24
+ * "git fetch" learned to honor transfer.fsckobjects configuration to
25
+ validate the objects that were received from the other end, just like
26
+ "git receive-pack" (the receiving end of "git push") does.
27
+
28
+ * "git fetch" makes sure that the set of objects it received from the
29
+ other end actually completes the history before updating the refs.
30
+ "git receive-pack" (the receiving end of "git push") learned to do the
31
+ same.
32
+
33
+ * "git for-each-ref" learned "%(contents:subject)", "%(contents:body)"
34
+ and "%(contents:signature)". The last one is useful for signed tags.
35
+
36
+ * "git ls-remote" learned to respond to "-h"(elp) requests.
37
+
38
+ * "git send-email" learned to respond to "-h"(elp) requests.
39
+
40
+ * "git stash" learned "--include-untracked" option to stash away
41
+ untracked/ignored cruft from the working tree.
42
+
43
+ * "mediawiki" remote helper can interact with (surprise!) MediaWiki
44
+ with "git fetch" & "git push".
45
+
46
+ * "gitweb" leaked unescaped control characters from syntax hiliter
47
+ outputs.
48
+
49
+
50
+Fixes since v1.7.7
51
+------------------
52
+
53
+Unless otherwise noted, all fixes in the 1.7.7.X maintenance track are
54
+included in this release.
55
+
56
+ * "git diff $tree $path" used to apply the pathspec at the output stage,
57
+ reading the whole tree, wasting resources.
58
+ (merge 2f88c1970 jc/diff-index-unpack later to maint).
59
+
60
+ * The code to check for updated submodules during a "git fetch" of the
61
+ superproject had an unnecessary quadratic loop.
62
+ (merge 6859de45 jk/maint-fetch-submodule-check-fix later to maint).
63
+
64
+ * "git fetch" from a large bundle did not enable the progress output.
65
+ (merge be042aff jc/maint-bundle-too-quiet later to maint).
66
+
67
+ * When "git fsck --lost-and-found" found that an empty blob object in the
68
+ object store is unreachable, it incorrectly reported an error after
69
+ writing the lost blob out successfully.
70
+ (merge eb726f2d jc/maint-fsck-fwrite-size-check later to maint).
71
+
72
+ * "git filter-branch" did not refresh the index before checking that the
73
+ working tree was clean.
74
+ (merge 5347a50f jk/filter-branch-require-clean-work-tree later to maint).
75
+
76
+ * "git grep $tree" when run with multiple threads had an unsafe access to
77
+ the object database that should have been protected with mutex.
78
+ (merge 8cb5775b2 nm/grep-object-sha1-lock later to maint).
79
+
80
+ * The "--ancestry-path" option to "git log" and friends misbehaved in a
81
+ history with complex criss-cross merges and showed an uninteresting
82
+ side history as well.
83
+ (merge c05b988a6 bk/ancestry-path later to maint).
84
+
85
+ * "git merge" did not understand ":/<pattern>" as a way to name a commit.
86
+
87
+ * Tests with --valgrind failed to find "mergetool" scriptlets.
88
+ (merge ee0d7bf92 tr/mergetool-valgrind later to maint).
89
+
90
+ * "git patch-id" miscomputed the patch-id in a patch that has a line longer
91
+ than 1kB.
92
+ (merge b9ab810b ms/patch-id-with-overlong-line later to maint).
93
+
94
+ * When an "exec" insn failed after modifying the index and/or the working
95
+ tree during "rebase -i", we now check and warn that the changes need to
96
+ be cleaned up.
97
+ (merge 1686519a mm/rebase-i-exec-edit later to maint).
