46

47 + * The scripts in contrib/emacs/ have outlived their usefulness and

48 + have been replaced with a stub that errors out and tells the user

49 + there are replacements.

50 +

51 + * The new "checkout-encoding" attribute can ask Git to convert the

52 + contents to the specified encoding when checking out to the working

53 + tree (and the other way around when checking in).

54 +

55 + * The "git config" command uses separate options e.g. "--int",

56 + "--bool", etc. to specify what type the caller wants the value to

57 + be interpreted as. A new "--type=<typename>" option has been

58 + introduced, which would make it cleaner to define new types.

59 +

60 + * "git config --get" learned the "--default" option, to help the

61 + calling script. Building on top of the above changes, the

62 + "git config" learns "--type=color" type. Taken together, you can

63 + do things like "git config --get foo.color --default blue" and get

64 + the ANSI color sequence for the color given to foo.color variable,

65 + or "blue" if the variable does not exist.

66 +

67 + * "git ls-remote" learned an option to allow sorting its output based

68 + on the refnames being shown.

69 +

70 + * The command line completion (in contrib/) has been taught that "git

71 + stash save" has been deprecated ("git stash push" is the preferred

72 + spelling in the new world) and does not offer it as a possible

73 + completion candidate when "git stash push" can be.

74 +

75 + * "git gc --prune=nonsense" spent long time repacking and then

76 + silently failed when underlying "git prune --expire=nonsense"

77 + failed to parse its command line. This has been corrected.

78 +

79 + * Error messages from "git push" can be painted for more visibility.

80 +

81 + * "git http-fetch" (deprecated) had an optional and experimental

82 + "feature" to fetch only commits and/or trees, which nobody used.

83 + This has been removed.
