32
(subsystems)
33
34
+ * various updates to git-svn and gitweb.
35
+
36
(portability)
37
38
+ * more improvements on mingw port.
39

40
(performance)
41
42
+ * On major platforms, the system can be compiled to use with Linus's
43
+ block-sha1 implementation of the SHA-1 hash algorithm, which
44
+ outperforms the default fallback implementation we borrowed from
45
+ Mozzilla.
46
+
47
(usability, bells and whistles)
48
49
+ * refs/replace/ hierarchy is designed to be usable as a replacement
50
+ of the "grafts" mechanism, with the added advantage that it can be
51
+ transferred across repositories.
52
+
53
+ * "git am" learned to optionally ignore whitespace differences.
54
+
55
+ * "git am" handles input e-mail files that has CRLF line endings sensibly.
56
+
57
+ * "git commit --dry-run $args" is a new recommended way to ask "what would
58
+ happen if I try to commit with these arguments."
59
+
60
+ * "git cvsimport" now supports password-protected pserver access.
61
+
62
+ * "git fast-export" learned --no-data option that can be useful when
63
+ reordering commits and trees without touching the contents of
64
+ blobs.
65
+
66
+ * "git init" learned to mkdir/chdir into a directory when given an
67
+ extra argument (i.e. "git init this").
68
+
69
+ * "git instaweb" optionally can use mongoose as the web server.
70
+
71
+ * "git log --decorate" can optionally be told with --decorate=full to
72
+ give the reference name in full.
73
+
74
+ * "git push" can be told to be --quiet.
75
+
76
+ * informational output from "git reset" that lists the locally modified
77
+ paths is made consistent with that of "git checkout $another_branch".
78
+
79
+ * "git status" gives more descriptive output for unmerged paths.
80
+
81
+ * "git submodule" learned to give submodule name to scripts run with
82
+ "foreach" subcommand.
83
+
84
+ * various subcommands to "git submodule" learned --recursive option.
85
+
86
+ * "git submodule summary" learned --files option to compare the work
87
+ tree vs the commit bound at submodule path, instead of comparing
88
+ the index.
89
+
90
(developers)
91
92
+ * With GIT_TEST_OPTS="--root=/p/a/t/h", tests can be run outside the
93
+ source directory; using tmpfs may give faster turnaround.
