+Git 2.11 Release Notes
2
+======================
3
+
4
+Updates since v2.10
5
+-------------------
6
+
7
+UI, Workflows & Features
8
+
9
+ * "git format-patch --cover-letter HEAD^" to format a single patch
10
+ with a separate cover letter now numbers the output as [PATCH 0/1]
11
+ and [PATCH 1/1] by default.
12
+
13
+ * An incoming "git push" that attempts to push too many bytes can now
14
+ be rejected by setting a new configuration variable at the receiving
15
+ end.
16
+
17
+ * "git nosuchcommand --help" said "No manual entry for gitnosuchcommand",
18
+ which was not intuitive, given that "git nosuchcommand" said "git:
19
+ 'nosuchcommand' is not a git command".
20
+
21
+ * "git clone --resurse-submodules --reference $path $URL" is a way to
22
+ reduce network transfer cost by borrowing objects in an existing
23
+ $path repository when cloning the superproject from $URL; it
24
+ learned to also peek into $path for presense of corresponding
25
+ repositories of submodules and borrow objects from there when able.
26
+
27
+
28
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
29
+
30
+ * The delta-base-cache mechanism has been a key to the performance in
31
+ a repository with a tightly packed packfile, but it did not scale
32
+ well even with a larger value of core.deltaBaseCacheLimit.
33
+
34
+ * Enhance "git status --porcelain" output by collecting more data on
35
+ the state of the index and the working tree files, which may
36
+ further be used to teach git-prompt (in contrib/) to make fewer
37
+ calls to git.
38
+
39
+
40
+Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
41
+
42
+
43
+Fixes since v2.10
44
+-----------------
45
+
46
+Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.9 in the maintenance
47
+track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
48
+notes for details).
49
+
50
+ * Clarify various ways to specify the "revision ranges" in the
51
+ documentation.
52
+ (merge a117be4 po/range-doc later to maint).
53
+
54
+ * "diff-highlight" script (in contrib/) learned to work better with
55
+ "git log -p --graph" output.
56
+ (merge 3dbfe2b bh/diff-highlight-graph later to maint).
