+Git v1.7.10 Release Notes
2
+=========================
3
+
4
+Updates since v1.7.9
5
+--------------------
6
+
7
+UI, Workflows & Features
8
+
9
+ * Improved handling of views, labels and branches in git-p4 (in contrib).
10
+
11
+ * "git am" learned to pass "-b" option to underlying "git mailinfo", so
12
+ that bracketed string other than "PATCH" at the beginning can be kept.
13
+
14
+ * "git clone" learned "--single-branch" option to limit cloning to a
15
+ single branch (surprise!).
16
+
17
+ * When showing a patch while ignoring whitespace changes, the context
18
+ lines are taken from the postimage, in order to make it easier to
19
+ view the output.
20
+
21
+Performance
22
+
23
+ * During "git upload-pack" in respose to "git fetch", unnecessary calls
24
+ to parse_object() have been eliminated, to help performance in
25
+ repositories with excessive number of refs.
26
+
27
+Internal Implementation
28
+
29
+ * Recursive call chains in "git index-pack" to deal with long delta
30
+ chains have been flattened, to reduce the stack footprint.
31
+
32
+ * Use of add_extra_ref() API is slowly getting removed, to make it
33
+ possible to cleanly restructure the overall refs API.
34
+
35
+ * The test suite supports the new "test_pause" helper function.
36
+
37
+Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
38
+
39
+
40
+Fixes since v1.7.9
41
+------------------
42
+
43
+Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.7.9 in the maintenance
44
+releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
45
+details).
46
+
47
+ * When "git push" fails to update any refs, the client side did not
48
+ report an error correctly to the end user.
49
+ (merge 5238cbf sp/smart-http-failure-to-push later to maint).
50
+
51
+ * "git push -q" was not sufficiently quiet.
52
+ (merge d336572 cb/push-quiet later to maint).
53
+
54
+ * "git log --first-parent $pathspec" did not stay on the first parent
55
+ chain and veered into side branch from which the whole change to the
56
+ specified paths came.
57
+ (merge 36ed191 jc/maint-log-first-parent-pathspec later to maint).
58
+
59
+ * Subprocesses spawned from various git programs were often left running
60
+ to completion even when the top-level process was killed.
61
+ (merge 10c6cdd cb/maint-kill-subprocess-upon-signal later to maint).
