1 +Git 2.8 Release Notes
2 +=====================
3 +
4 +Updates since v2.7
5 +------------------
6 +
7 +UI, Workflows & Features
8 +
9 + * "branch --delete" has "branch -d" but "push --delete" does not.
10 + (merge 38a2559 ps/push-delete-option later to maint).
11 +
12 + * "git blame" learned to produce the progress eye-candy when it takes
13 + too much time before emitting the first line of the result.
14 + (merge aba37f4 ea/blame-progress later to maint).
15 +
16 + * "git grep" can now be configured (or told from the command line)
17 + how many threads to use when searching in the working tree files.
18 + (merge 89f09dd vl/grep-configurable-threads later to maint).
19 +
20 +
21 +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
22 +
23 + * Add a framework to spawn a group of processes in parallel, and use
24 + it to run "git fetch --recurse-submodules" in parallel.
25 +
26 + * A slight update to the Makefile to mark "phoney" targets
27 + as such correctly.
28 +
29 +
30 +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
31 +
32 +
33 +Fixes since v2.7
34 +----------------
35 +
36 +Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.7 in the maintenance
37 +track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
38 +notes for details).
39 +
40 + * An earlier change in 2.5.x-era broke users' hooks and aliases by
41 + exporting GIT_WORK_TREE to point at the root of the working tree,
42 + interfering when they tried to use a different working tree without
43 + setting GIT_WORK_TREE environment themselves.
44 + (merge df1e6ea nd/stop-setenv-work-tree later to maint).
