+GIT v1.5.5 Release Notes
2
+========================
3
+
4
+Updates since v1.5.4
5
+--------------------
6
+
7
+(performance)
8
+
9
+ * On platforms with suboptimal qsort(3) implementation, there
10
+ is an option to use more reasonable substitute we ship with
11
+ our software.
12
+
13
+ * New configuration variable "pack.packsizelimit" can be used
14
+ in place of command line option --max-pack-size.
15
+
16
+ * "git fetch" over the native git protocol used to make a
17
+ connection to find out the set of current remote refs and
18
+ another to actually download the pack data. We now use only
19
+ one connection for these tasks.
20
+
21
+ * "git commit" does not run lstat(2) more than necessary
22
+ anymore.
23
+
24
+(usability, bells and whistles)
25
+
26
+ * You can be warned when core.autocrlf conversion is applied in
27
+ such a way that results in an irreversible conversion.
28
+
29
+ * A pattern "foo/" in .gitignore file now matches a directory
30
+ "foo". Pattern "foo" also matches as before.
31
+
32
+ * "git describe" learned to limit the tags to be used for
33
+ naming with --match option.
34
+
35
+ * "git describe --contains" now barfs when the named commit
36
+ cannot be described.
37
+
38
+ * bash completion's prompt helper function can talk about
39
+ operation in-progress (e.g. merge, rebase, etc.).
40
+
41
+ * "git commit" learned a new hook "prepare-commit-msg" that can
42
+ inspect what is going to be committed and prepare the commit
43
+ log message template to be edited.
44
+
45
+ * "git gui" learned an auto-spell checking.
46
+
47
+ * "git send-email" learned to prompt for passwords
48
+ interactively.
49
+
50
+ * "git send-email" learned an easier way to suppress CC
51
+ recipients.
52
+
53
+ * Various "git cvsimport", "git cvsexportcommit", "git svn" and
54
+ "git p4" improvements.
55
+
56
+(internal)
57
+
58
+ * Duplicated code between git-help and git-instaweb that
59
+ launches user's preferred browser has been refactored.
60
+
61
+ * It is now easier to write test scripts that records known
62
+ breakages.
