1 | Git v1.7.4 Release Notes (draft) |
2 | ================================ | |
3 | ||
4 | Updates since v1.7.3 | |
5 | -------------------- | |
6 | ||
7 | * The option parsers of various commands that create new branch (or | |
8 | rename existing ones to a new name) were too loose and users were | |
9 | allowed to call a branch with a name that begins with a dash by | |
10 | creative abuse of their command line options, which only lead to | |
11 | burn themselves. The name of a branch cannot begin with a dash | |
12 | now. | |
13 | ||
14 | * System-wide fallback default attributes can be stored in | |
15 | /etc/gitattributes; core.attributesfile configuration variable can | |
16 | be used to customize the path to this file. | |
17 | ||
18 | * "git diff" and "git grep" learned how functions and subroutines | |
19 | in Fortran look like. | |
20 | ||
21 | * "git log -G<pattern>" limits the output to commits whose change has | |
22 | added or deleted lines that match the given pattern. | |
23 | ||
24 | * "git read-tree" with no argument as a way to empty the index is | |
25 | deprecated; we might want to remove it in the future. Users can | |
26 | use the new --empty option to be more explicit instead. | |
27 | ||
28 | * "git merge --log" used to limit the resulting merge log to 20 | |
29 | entries; this is now customizable by giving e.g. "--log=47". | |
30 | ||
31 | * you can extend "git shell", which is often used on boxes that allow | |
32 | git-only login over ssh as login shell, with custom set of | |
33 | commands. | |
34 | ||
35 | Also contains various documentation updates. | |
36 | ||
37 | ||
38 | Fixes since v1.7.3 | |
39 | ------------------ | |
40 | ||
41 | All of the fixes in v1.7.3.X maintenance series are included in this | |
42 | release, unless otherwise noted. | |
43 | ||
44 | * "git log --author=me --author=her" did not find commits written by | |
45 | me or by her; instead it looked for commits written by me and by | |
46 | her, which is impossible. | |
