GIT v1.6.0 Release Notes
========================
User visible changes
--------------------
With the default Makefile settings, most of the programs are now
installed outside your $PATH, except for "git", "gitk" and
some server side programs that need to be accessible for technical
reasons. Invoking a git subcommand as "git-xyzzy" from the command
line has been deprecated since early 2006 (and officially announced in
1.5.4 release notes); use of them from your scripts after adding
output from "git --exec-path" to the $PATH is still supported in this
release, but users are again strongly encouraged to adjust their
scripts to use "git xyzzy" form, as we will stop installing
"git-xyzzy" hardlinks for built-in commands in later releases.
An earlier change to page "git status" output was overwhelmingly unpopular
and has been reverted.
Source changes needed for porting to MinGW environment are now all in the
main git.git codebase.
By default, packfiles created with this version uses delta-base-offset
encoding introduced in v1.4.4. Pack idx files are using version 2 that
allows larger packs and added robustness thanks to its CRC checking,
introduced in v1.5.2 and v1.4.4.5. If you want to keep your repositories
backwards compatible past these versions, set repack.useDeltaBaseOffset
to false or pack.indexVersion to 1, respectively.
We used to prevent sample hook scripts shipped in templates/ from
triggering by default by relying on the fact that we install them as
unexecutable, but on some filesystems, this approach does not work.
They are now shipped with ".sample" suffix. If you want to activate
any of these samples as-is, rename them to drop the ".sample" suffix,
instead of running "chmod x" on them. For example, you can rename
hooks/post-update.sample to hooks/post-update to enable the sample
hook that runs update-server-info, in order to make repositories
friendly to dumb protocols (i.e. HTTP).
GIT_CONFIG, which was only documented as affecting "git config", but
actually affected all git commands, now only affects "git config".
GIT_LOCAL_CONFIG, also only documented as affecting "git config" and
not different from GIT_CONFIG in a useful way, is removed.
The ".dotest" temporary area "git am" and "git rebase" use is now moved
inside the $GIT_DIR, to avoid mistakes of adding it to the project by
accident.
An ancient merge strategy "stupid" has been removed.
Updates since v1.5.6
--------------------
(subsystems)
* git-p4 in contrib learned "allowSubmit" configuration to control on
which branch to allow "submit" subcommand.
* git-gui learned to stage changes per-line.
(portability)
* Changes for MinGW port have been merged, thanks to Johannes Sixt and
gangs.
* Sample hook scripts shipped in templates/ are now suffixed with
*.sample.
* perl's in-place edit (-i) does not work well without backup files on Windows;
some tests are rewritten to cope with this.
(documentation)
* Updated howto/update-hook-example
* Got rid of usage of "git-foo" from the tutorial and made typography
more consistent.
* Disambiguating "--" between revs and paths is finally documented.
(performance, robustness, sanity etc.)
* index-pack used too much memory when dealing with a deep delta chain.
This has been optimized.
* reduced excessive inlining to shrink size of the "git" binary.
* verify-pack checks the object CRC when using version 2 idx files.
* When an object is corrupt in a pack, the object became unusable even
when the same object is available in a loose form, We now try harder to
fall back to these redundant objects when able. In particular, "git
repack -a -f" can be used to fix such a corruption as long as necessary
objects are available.
* Performance of "git-blame -C -C" operation is vastly improved.
* git-clone does not create refs in loose form anymore (it behaves as
if you immediately ran git-pack-refs after cloning). This will help
repositories with insanely large number of refs.
* core.fsyncobjectfiles configuration can be used to ensure that the loose
objects created will be fsync'ed (this is only useful on filesystems
that does not order data writes properly).
* "git commit-tree" plumbing can make Octopus with more than 16 parents.
"git commit" has been capable of this for quite some time.
(usability, bells and whistles)
* even more documentation pages are now accessible via "man" and "git help".
* A new environment variable GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES can be used to stop
the discovery process of the toplevel of working tree; this may be useful
when you are working in a slow network disk and are outside any working tree,
as bash-completion and "git help" may still need to run in these places.
* By default, stash entries never expire. Set reflogexpire in [gc
"refs/stash"] to a reasonable value to get traditional auto-expiration
behaviour back
* Longstanding latency issue with bash completion script has been
addressed. This will need to be backmerged to 'maint' later.
* pager. configuration variable can be used to enable/disable the
default paging behaviour per command.
* "git-add -i" has a new action 'e/dit' to allow you edit the patch hunk
manually.
* git-am records the original tip of the branch in ORIG_HEAD before it
starts applying patches.
* git-apply can handle a patch that touches the same path more than once
much better than before.
* git-apply can be told not to trust the line counts recorded in the input
patch but recount, with the new --recount option.
* git-apply can be told to apply a patch to a path deeper than what the
patch records with --directory option.
* git-archive can be told to omit certain paths from its output using
export-ignore attributes.
* git-archive uses the zlib default compression level when creating
zip archive.
* git-archive's command line options --exec and --remote can take their
parameters as separate command line arguments, similar to other commands.
IOW, both "--exec=path" and "--exec path" are now supported.
* With -v option, git-branch describes the remote tracking statistics
similar to the way git-checkout reports by how many commits your branch
is ahead/behind.
* git-branch's --contains option used to always require a commit parameter
to limit the branches with; it now defaults to list branches that
contains HEAD if this parameter is omitted.
* git-branch's --merged and --no-merged option used to always limit the
branches relative to the HEAD, but they can now take an optional commit
argument that is used in place of HEAD.
* git-bundle can read the revision arguments from the standard input.
* git-cherry-pick can replay a root commit now.
* git-clone can clone from a remote whose URL would be rewritten by
configuration stored in $HOME/.gitconfig now.
* "git-clone --mirror" is a handy way to set up a bare mirror repository.
* git-cvsserver learned to respond to "cvs co -c".
* git-diff --check now checks leftover merge conflict markers.
* "git-diff -p" learned to grab a better hunk header lines in
BibTex, Pascal/Delphi, and Ruby files and also pays attention to
chapter and part boundary in TeX documents.
* When remote side used to have branch 'foo' and git-fetch finds that now
it has branch 'foo/bar', it refuses to lose the existing remote tracking
branch and its reflog. The error message has been improved to suggest
pruning the remote if the user wants to proceed and get the latest set
of branches from the remote, including such 'foo/bar'.
* fast-export learned to export and import marks file; this can be used to
interface with fast-import incrementally.
* fast-import and fast-export learned to export and import gitlinks.
* "gitk" left background process behind after being asked to dig very deep
history and the user killed the UI; the process is killed when the UI goes
away now.
* git-rebase records the original tip of branch in ORIG_HEAD before it is
rewound.
* "git rerere" can be told to update the index with auto-reused resolution
with rerere.autoupdate configuration variable.
* git-rev-parse learned $commit^! and $commit^@ notations used in "log"
family. These notations are available in gitk as well, because the gitk
command internally uses rev-parse to interpret its arguments.
* git-rev-list learned --children option to show child commits it
encountered during the traversal, instead of showing parent commits.
* git-send-mail can talk not just over SSL but over TLS now.
* git-shortlog honors custom output format specified with "--pretty=format:".
* "git-stash save" learned --keep-index option. This lets you stash away the
local changes and bring the changes staged in the index to your working
tree for examination and testing.
* git-stash also learned branch subcommand to create a new branch out of
stashed changes.
* git-status gives the remote tracking statistics similar to the way
git-checkout reports by how many commits your branch is ahead/behind.
* "git-svn dcommit" is now aware of auto-props setting the subversion user
has.
* You can tell "git status -u" to even more aggressively omit checking
untracked files with --untracked-files=no.
* Original SHA-1 value for "update-ref -d" is optional now.
* Error codes from gitweb are made more descriptive where possible, rather
than "403 forbidden" as we used to issue everywhere.
(internal)
* git-merge has been reimplemented in C.
Fixes since v1.5.6
------------------
All of the fixes in v1.5.6 maintenance series are included in
this release, unless otherwise noted.
* git-clone ignored its -u option; the fix needs to be backported to
'maint';
* git-mv used to lose the distinction between changes that are staged
and that are only in the working tree, by staging both in the index
after moving such a path.
* "git-rebase -i -p" rewrote the parents to wrong ones when amending
(either edit or squash) was involved, and did not work correctly
when fast forwarding.

[ANNOUNCE] TopGit v0.2
Posted 18 days ago by Petr Baudis
Hi!
This is v0.2 of TopGit; we are steady on our way to v1.0! ;-)
TopGit is meant as a fresh start in the steps of StGIT, quilt-in-git
and others, of course in an attempt to Get It Right this time around.
TopGit is
... [More]
absolutely minimal porcelain layer that will manage your
patch queue for you using topic branches, one patch per branch,
never rewriting the history in order to enable fully distributed
workflow. You can get TopGit at
http://repo.or.cz/w/topgit.git
and read up on its design, usage and implementation at:
http://repo.or.cz/w/topgit.git?a=blob;f=README
This version features changed usage of tg create, new tg export command
that can export your patch queue either to a Git branch or Quilt series,
a huge amount of bugfixes, and improved documentation infrastructure.
Thanks go to Bert Wesarg, Russel Steicke and Antonio Ospite for their
patches - please keep them coming - and to martin f. krafft for
the testing, ideas and presentation to fellow Debian packagers.
Antonio Ospite (1):
tg.sh: Add -h, --help aliases for the help command

recurse_deps(): _-prefix $depsfile
measure_branch(): Use _bname instead of _name local variable
branch_needs_update(): Fox branch_contains call: $1 -> $_name
recurse_deps(): Call itself, not needs_update(), recursively

README: tg collapse is already implemented (as tg export)
tg export: Really remove TopGit metadata files when exporting
tg update: Do not use ${:n:m} substitution (bash extension)

tg export: Print progress messages _before_ the action
TopGit-0.2
Russell Steicke (3):
Check for pre-commit hook existence.
Make "tg help cmd" print cmd help

GIT v1.5.6.5 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.6.4
--------------------
* "git cvsimport" used to spit out "UNKNOWN LINE..." diagnostics to stdout.
* "git commit -F filename" and "git tag -F filename" run from subdirectories
did not read the right file.
* "git init --template=" with blank "template" parameter linked files
under root directories to .git, which was a total nonsense. Instead, it
means "I do not want to use anything from the template directory".
* "git diff-tree" and other diff plumbing ignored diff.renamelimit configuration
variable when the user explicitly asked for rename detection.
* "git name-rev --name-only" did not work when "--stdin" option was in effect.
* "git show-branch" mishandled its 8th branch.
* Addition of "git update-index --ignore-submodules" that happened during
1.5.6 cycle broke "git update-index --ignore-missing".
* "git send-email" did not parse charset from an existing Content-type:
header properly.
Contains other various documentation fixes.

[ANNOUNCE] TopGit - A different patch queue manager
Posted 27 days ago by Petr Baudis
Hi,
I'd like to announce TopGit v0.1, the first (while also the youngest)
project from my Rhine pipeline (sitting at the river shore, hacking
free of all online distractions; the only catch is that the offline
distractions can be
... [More]
plentiful as well - too many pretty girls tend
to cluster around the water in the hot summer days for some strange
reason.)
TopGit is meant as a fresh start in the steps of StGIT, quilt-in-git
and others, of course in an attempt to Get It Right this time around.
TopGit is absolutely minimal porcelain layer that will manage your
patch queue for you using topic branches, one patch per branch.
And do _ONLY_ that. Unlike with StGIT, you can actually use the index.
TopGit aims to scratch three of my long-term patch management itches:
(i) Let you freely specify patch dependencies, instead of
forcing you to linearize your patches into a series
(ii) Keep your development history rigorously - it is to be
cleaned up only once, and that is when submitted upstream
(iii) Actually _WORK_ in the distributed environment;
you can have several repositories and develop your patches
in all of them
You can get TopGit at
http://repo.or.cz/w/topgit.git
and read up on its design, usage and implementation at:
http://repo.or.cz/w/topgit.git?a=blob;f=README
This is v0.1. I started working on it last evening (by spending over
two hours writing the README from scratch up to pretty much its current
state), got it feature complete few hours ago and testing it out the
rest of the evening. So yes, it probably still has some bugs, but it
should be ready for general practical usage, so please give it a try.
I just recreated
http://repo.or.cz/w/git/gitweb.git
with it and plan to use it pretty much exclusively for all my Git
patches from now on (and it turns out there is quite a few, I just had
no good way to organize and submit them so far).
Besides that, some utility commands are still missing, some of them
are TODO'd in the README. Most notably, the distributed workflow still
has no explicit support within TopGit which makes it a little awkward,
and there is actually no way to mail your patches yet ;-) - tg patch
will only dump a single one on stdout and you need to do the rest.
TopGit is not very well optimized so far; I made little to no
benchmarks and I'm focused on getting things work right first. Still,
I believe that most operations should not take noticeably long until
you get into many tens of densely dependent patches. One exception
is 'tg summary', which is unfortunately dog-slow and I couldn't
figure out how to speed it up further so far.
P.S.: git/gitweb.git is mentioned here just as an example of
real-world TopGit usage; ignore the contents. I actually do intend
to revive this repository, but there's still a lot of work to do.
P.P.S.: Can I get trademark on the (ironically) /[^p]g/ porcelains
now? ;-)
Have fun,

[ANNOUNCE] GitStats development finished (WRT GSoC)
Posted about 1 month ago by Sverre Rabbelier
Heya,
I leave to the USA this Friday, and because of US tax laws I would
have to pay an insane amount of tax for just 2 weeks of development. I
have agreed with my mentor a while a go that I would finish up GSoC
before I left
... [More]
, that way avoiding having to pay US taxes. (Over here in
the Netherlands I don't have to pay tax over the $4500 because I
didn't make >6000 euro this year, the joys of being a student.) As a
result it is quite clear what GitStats will look like at the end of my
GSoC. I am going to continue working on it though, I am especially
interested in getting the '--follow' part of 'git log' working in such
a way that it can be incorporated into GitStats. As such, here is a
summary of what GitStat is at the moment. From the documentation:
$ cat gitstats-*
syntax: stats.py author
The purpose of the author module is to gather statistics
about authors, and to aggregate this information to provide
information about all the authors of a repo.
Currently the available metrics in the author module are
the following:
* Determine how many changes an author made (making a
distinction between lines added and lines deleted), and
record this per author, for all files in the repository.
It is possible to get this data for one specific author,
(although data for all authors will still be gathered,)
because the result is stored per author.
* Determine how many commits an author made that affected
a specific file. This metric is less granular, but a lot
faster. To retreive the more granular result, one could
simply iterate over the result of the above metric for
each author, and take only the data for the file one is
interested in.
* Aggregate the information from the first metric, adding
up the statistics from each author. This provides a more
general 'file activity' metric and is a nice example of
how an existing metric can be modified to do something
seemingly unrelated.
This module does not define any auxillery functions.
syntax: stats.py branch
The purpose of the branch module is to gather statistics
about branches, or related to branches.
Currently the available metrics in the branch module are
the following:
* Which of the branch head does a commit belong to
What this metric does is walk down the ancestry of the
target commit and increase the 'dilution' by one or each
merge it finds. The exception applies that when following
the 'primary' parent of the merge (e.g., the branch
recorded as the one the merge commit was made on), the
dilution is not increased. As such, if the target commit
is made on a branch, and then later on it's dilution
is calculated, it will have 0 dilution for that branch.
The branch with the lowest dilution is deemed to be the
branch that the commit belongs to most.
Note: In git there is no 'main' branch, as such any and
all branches branches that 'branched off' after the
target commit will also have dilution 0.
It also defines the following auxillery functions:
* Retreive the name of a commit if it is a the head of a
branch. This can be seen as the reverse of 'rev-parse'
for branch heads. This is used internally to provide the
user with a sensible name when telling them which branch
a commit belongs to.
* List all the branches that contain a specific commit,
optionally searching through remote branches as well as
optionally not filtering at all. This is used internally
to not search through branches that do not contain the
target commit.
syntax: stats.py bug
The purpose of the bug module is to gather statistics on
bugfixes within the content, and to aggregate this
information to provide with a report of the last N commits.
Currently the available metrics in the bug module are the
following:
* Determine whether a specific commit is a bugfix based on
other metrics. When one of the metrics is 'positive',
that is, it's return value indicates that the examined
commit is a bugfix, the 'bugfix rating' is increased by
a pre-configured amount. This amount can be specified per
metric, and can be set to '0' to ignore it.
* Aggregate the above metric over the past N commits. Also,
when running the above metric on more than one commit,
cache the result of calls to the git binary so that the
execution time is reduced. This means that the execution
time is not directly proportional to the size of the
repository. (Instead, there is a fixed 'start up' cost,
after which there is a 'per commit' cost, which is
relatively low.)
This module does not define any auxillery functions.
syntax: stats.py commit
The purpose of the commit module is to gather statistics
about commits, or related to commits, with the exception
of things related to diffs (only retrieving the raw diff is
in this module).
Currently the available metrics in the author module are
the following:
* Find all the commits that touched the same paths as the
specified commit. This is implemented by passing the
result of the 'paths touched' auxillary function to the
'commits that touched' auxillary function. See below.
* Retrieve the diff of a commit, either with or without
context, and optionally ignoring whitespace changes. This
method also works for the root commit (by making use of
the '--root' option to 'diff tree'.
* Show only commits of which the commit message, and/or the
commit diff, match a specific regexp. This is a simple
reimplementation of 'git log -S' and 'git log --grep'. It
is preferable to instead use the options native to
'git log', than to use this slower version.
Note: the regexps for the 'commit message' and the
'commit diff' may be different.
It also defines the following auxillary functions:
* Print a commit in a 'readable' way, this is by default
'git log -1 --name-only'. By the way of an environmental
variable ('GIT_STATS_PRETTY_PRINT'), it can be made to
instead use 'git log -1 --prety=oneline' by setting the
variable to 'online'.
* Retrieve all the paths that a specific commit touches,
this is used internally to limit the commits that have
to be searched when looking for a merge. That is done by
passing the output of this method to the one described
below.
* Find all commits that touched a list of files, optionally
treating the paths as relative to the current working
directory.
syntax: stats.py diff
The purpose of the diff module is to gather statistics
about diffs, or related to diffs.
Currently the available metrics in the diff module are the
following:
* Determine whether two commit diffs are equal, optionally
checking whether they are reverts instead. It is also
possible to just look at what lines were changed (and
ignore the actual changes).
* Find all commits that are reverted by the specified
commit by first retrieving the touched files, and then
examining all the commits that that touch the same files.
It also defines the following auxillery functions:
* Parse a raw commit diff and store it on a hunk-by-hunk
basis so that later on it can be examined more carefully
by other tools. Line numbers are optionally included so
that one can use those. For example, by comparing all the
added hunks with the deleted hunks of a second commit,
and vise versa, one can check for (partial) reverts.
syntax: stats.py index
The purpose of the index module is to gather statistics
about the index, or related to the index.
Currently the available metrics in the index module are the
following:
* List all the commits that touch the same files as the
staged files. This can be useful to find out which commit
introduced the bug fixed in this commit (by piping the
output of this method to one that looks at which lines
were touched for example).
It also defines the following auxillery functions:
* Get all the staged changes (optionally ignoring newly
added files). This is used internally to find all the
commits that touched the same files as those that are
currently staged.
syntax: stats.py matcher
The purpose of the matcher module is to compare hunks
within one diff to one another, and determine whether there
is any code being moved around.
Currently the available metrics in the index module are the
following:
* Try to find a match between the hunks in one diff, so
that code moves can be detected. This makes use of the
'diff size calculation' described below.
It also defines the following auxillery functions:
* Calculate the size of a diff, only counting the amount
of lines added, and the amount of lines deleted. This can
be used to determine a best 'interdiff' (the shortest one
is the best one), when searching for two hunks that are
moved around.
syntax: stats.py
Available commands:
author Activity for one author, file, or project
branch In how far a commit belongs to a branch
bug Determine whether a commitis a bugfix
commit Basic functionality already present in git
diff Compare two diffs and find reverts
index Find which commits touched the staged files
matcher Try to match hunks in a diff to find moves
test Run the unittests for GitStats
The stats.py module is the main entry point of GitStats,
it dispatches to the commands listed above. When no
arguments are passed, it automatically runs the command
with '--help' so that a usage message is shown for that
command.
Each of the modules it uses as subcommands defines a
'dispatch' function that is called with the users arguments
(with the exception of the first, which is the name of the
command executed). If anything should be returned to the
system, the dispatch method should return this value.
To run properly it requires the git_stats package to be
a subdirectory of the directory it resides in. That is,
your directory tree should be something like this:
.
|-- git_stats
| `--
|-- scripts
| `--
|-- t
| `--
`-- stats.py
syntax: stats.py tests
The purpose of the tests module is to make available the
unittests for GitStats to external programs. It may be
used to run the unittests for GitStats from for example
a shell script. It's output is made to match the git
regression test suite.

Sverre Rabbelier

GIT v1.5.6.4 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.6.3
--------------------
* Various commands could overflow its internal buffer on a platform
with small PATH_MAX value in a repository that has contents with
long pathnames.
* There wasn't a way to make --pretty=format:%<> specifiers to honor
.mailmap name rewriting for authors and committers. Now you can with
%aN and %cN.
* Bash completion wasted too many cycles; this has been optimized to be
usable again.
* Bash completion lost ref part when completing something like "git show
pu:Makefile".
* "git-cvsserver" did not clean up its temporary working area after annotate
request.
* "git-daemon" called syslog() from its signal handler, which was a
no-no.
* "git-fetch" into an empty repository used to remind that the fetch will
be huge by saying "no common commits", but this was an unnecessary
noise; it is already known by the user anyway.
* "git-http-fetch" would have segfaulted when pack idx file retrieved
from the other side was corrupt.
* "git-index-pack" used too much memory when dealing with a deep delta chain.
* "git-mailinfo" (hence "git-am") did not correctly handle in-body [PATCH]
line to override the commit title taken from the mail Subject header.
* "git-rebase -i -p" lost parents that are not involved in the history
being rewritten.
* "git-rm" lost track of where the index file was when GIT_DIR was
specified as a relative path.
* "git-rev-list --quiet" was not quiet as advertised.

* Setting core.sharerepository to traditional "true" value was supposed to make
the repository group writable but should not affect permission for others.
However, since 1.5.6, it was broken to drop permission for others when umask is
022, making the repository unreadable by others.
* Setting GIT_TRACE will report spawning of external process via run_command().
* Using an object with very deep delta chain pinned memory needed for extracting
intermediate base objects unnecessarily long, leading to excess memory usage.
* Bash completion script did not notice '--' marker on the command
line and tried the relatively slow "ref completion" even when
completing arguments after one.
* Registering a non-empty blob racily and then truncating the working
tree file for it confused "racy-git avoidance" logic into thinking
that the path is now unchanged.
* The section that describes attributes related to git-archive were placed
in a wrong place in the gitattributes(5) manual page.
* "git am" was not helpful to the users when it detected that the committer
information is not set up properly yet.
* "git clone" had a leftover debugging fprintf().
* "git clone -q" was not quiet enough as it used to and gave object count
and progress reports.
* "git clone" marked downloaded packfile with .keep; this could be a
good thing if the remote side is well packed but otherwise not,
especially for a project that is not really big.
* "git daemon" used to call syslog() from a signal handler, which
could raise signals of its own but generally is not reentrant. This
was fixed by restructuring the code to report syslog() after the handler
returns.
* When "git push" tries to remove a remote ref, and corresponding
tracking ref is missing, we used to report error (i.e. failure to
remove something that does not exist).
* "git mailinfo" (hence "git am") did not handle commit log messages in a
MIME multipart mail correctly.
Contains other various documentation fixes.

GIT v1.5.6.1 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.6
------------------
* Last minute change broke loose object creation on AIX.
* (performance fix) We used to make $GIT_DIR absolute path early in the
programs but keeping it relative to the current directory internally
gives 1-3 per-cent performance boost.
* bash completion knows the new --graph option to git-log family.
* git-diff -c/--cc showed unnecessary "deletion" lines at the context
boundary.
* git-for-each-ref ignored %(object) and %(type) requests for tag
objects.
* git-merge usage had a typo.
* Rebuilding of git-svn metainfo database did not take rewriteRoot
option into account.
* Running "git-rebase --continue/--skip/--abort" before starting a
rebase gave nonsense error messages.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Changes since v1.5.6 are as follows:
Brandon Casey (2):
git-merge.sh: fix typo in usage message: sucesses --> succeeds
t7502-commit.sh: test_must_fail doesn't work with inline environment variables

----------------------------------------------------------------
GIT v1.5.6 Release Notes
========================
Updates since v1.5.5
--------------------
(subsystems)
* Comes with updated gitk and git-gui.
(portability)
* git will build on AIX better than before now.
* core.ignorecase configuration variable can be used to work better on
filesystems that are not case sensitive.
* "git init" now autodetects the case sensitivity of the filesystem and
sets core.ignorecase accordingly.
* cpio is no longer used; neither "curl" binary (libcurl is still used).
(documentation)
* Many freestanding documentation pages have been converted and made
available to "git help" (aka "man git") as section 7 of
the manual pages. This means bookmarks to some HTML documentation
files may need to be updated (eg "tutorial.html" became
"gittutorial.html").
(performance)
* "git clone" was rewritten in C. This will hopefully help cloning a
repository with insane number of refs.
* "git rebase --onto $there $from $branch" used to switch to the tip of
$branch only to immediately reset back to $from, smudging work tree
files unnecessarily. This has been optimized.
* Object creation codepath in "git-svn" has been optimized by enhancing
plumbing commands git-cat-file and git-hash-object.
(usability, bells and whistles)
* "git add -p" (and the "patch" subcommand of "git add -i") can choose to
apply (or not apply) mode changes independently from contents changes.
* "git bisect help" gives longer and more helpful usage information.
* "git bisect" does not use a special branch "bisect" anymore; instead, it
does its work on a detached HEAD.
* "git branch" (and "git checkout -b") can be told to set up
branch..rebase automatically, so that later you can say "git pull"
and magically cause "git pull --rebase" to happen.
* "git branch --merged" and "git branch --no-merged" can be used to list
branches that have already been merged (or not yet merged) to the
current branch.
* "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can add a sign-off.
* "git commit" mentions the author identity when you are committing
somebody else's changes.
* "git diff/log --dirstat" output is consistent between binary and textual
changes.
* "git filter-branch" rewrites signed tags by demoting them to annotated.
* "git format-patch --no-binary" can produce a patch that lack binary
changes (i.e. cannot be used to propagate the whole changes) meant only
for reviewing.
* "git init --bare" is a synonym for "git --bare init" now.
* "git gc --auto" honors a new pre-auto-gc hook to temporarily disable it.
* "git log --pretty=tformat:" gives a LF after each entry,
instead of giving a LF between each pair of entries which is how
"git log --pretty=format:" works.
* "git log" and friends learned the "--graph" option to show the ancestry
graph at the left margin of the output.
* "git log" and friends can be told to use date format that is different
from the default via 'log.date' configuration variable.
* "git send-email" now can send out messages outside a git repository.
* "git send-email --compose" was made aware of rfc2047 quoting.
* "git status" can optionally include output from "git submodule
summary".
* "git svn" learned --add-author-from option to propagate the authorship
by munging the commit log message.
* new object creation and looking up in "git svn" has been optimized.
* "gitweb" can read from a system-wide configuration file.
(internal)
* "git unpack-objects" and "git receive-pack" is now more strict about
detecting breakage in the objects they receive over the wire.
