Makefile variable NO_THREAD_SAFE_PREAD can be defined to avoid use of this function in a threaded program. * "git add" allows adding a regular file to the path where a submodule used to exist, but "git update-index" does not allow an equivalent operation to Porcelain writers. * "git archive" incorrectly computed the header checksum; the symptom was observed only when using pathnames with hi-bit set. * "git blame" did not try to make sure that the abbreviated commit object names in its output are unique. * Running "git bundle verify" on a bundle that records a complete history said "it requires these 0 commits". * "git clone --single-branch" to clone a single branch did not limit the cloning to the specified branch. * "git diff --no-index" did not correctly handle relative paths and did not correctly give exit codes when run under "--quiet" option. * "git diff --no-index" did not work with pagers correctly. * "git diff COPYING HEAD:COPYING" gave a nonsense error message that claimed that the treeish HEAD did not have COPYING in it. * When "git log" gets "--simplify-merges/by-decoration" together with "--first-parent", the combination of these options makes the simplification logic to use in-core commit objects that haven't been examined for relevance, either producing incorrect result or taking too long to produce any output. Teach the simplification logic to ignore commits that the first-parent traversal logic ignored when both are in effect to work around the issue. * "git ls-files --exclude=t -i" did not consider anything under t/ as excluded, as it did not pay attention to exclusion of leading paths while walking the index. Other two users of excluded() are also updated. * "git request-pull $url dev" when the tip of "dev" branch was tagged with "ext4-for-linus" used the contents from the tag in the output but still asked the "dev" branch to be pulled, not the tag. Also contains minor typofixes and documentation updates. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.7.11.1 are as follows: Carlos Martín Nieto (2): Documentation: --no-walk is no-op if range is specified git-cherry-pick.txt: clarify the use of revision range notation Heiko Voigt (1): update-index: allow overwriting existing submodule index entries Jeff King (3): fix pager.diff with diff --no-index do not run pager with diff --no-index --quiet diff: handle relative paths in no-index Junio C Hamano (15): request-pull: really favor a matching tag ls-files -i: pay attention to exclusion of leading paths ls-files -i: micro-optimize path_excluded() tweak "bundle verify" of a complete history path_excluded(): update API to less cache-entry centric builtin/add.c: use path_excluded() unpack-trees.c: use path_excluded() in check_ok_to_remove() dir.c: make excluded() file scope static revision: "simplify" options imply topo-order sort revision: note the lack of free() in simplify_merges() archive: ustar header checksum is computed unsigned revision: ignore side parents while running simplify-merges index-pack: Disable threading on cygwin blame: compute abbreviation width that ensures uniqueness Git 1.7.11.2 Leila Muhtasib (1): Documentation: Fix misspellings Matthieu Moy (2): sha1_name: do not trigger detailed diagnosis for file arguments verify_filename(): ask the caller to chose the kind of diagnosis Michał Górny (1): git-submodule.sh: fix filename in comment. Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (1): clone: fix ref selection in --single-branch --branch=xxx Peter Krefting (1): Update Swedish translation (1066t0f0u) Thomas Badie (1): git-add--interactive.perl: Remove two unused variables Tim Henigan (1): diff-no-index: exit(1) if 'diff --quiet ' finds changes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html [Less]

"git push" without any refspec will push the current branch out to the same name at the remote repository only when it is set to track the branch with the same name over there. The plan is to make this mode the new default value when push.default is not configured. * A couple of commands learned the "--column" option to produce columnar output. * A third-party tool "git subtree" is distributed in contrib/ * A remote helper that acts as a proxy and caches ssl session for the https:// transport is added to the contrib/ area. * Error messages given when @{u} is used for a branch without its upstream configured have been clarified. * Even with the "-q"uiet option, "checkout" used to report setting up tracking. Also "branch" learned the "-q"uiet option to squelch informational message. * Your build platform may support hardlinks but you may prefer not to use them, e.g. when installing to DESTDIR to make a tarball and untarring on a filesystem that has poor support for hardlinks. There is a Makefile option NO_INSTALL_HARDLINKS for you. * The smart-http backend used to always override GIT_COMMITTER_* variables with REMOTE_USER and REMOTE_ADDR, but these variables are now preserved when set. * "git am" learned the "--include" option, which is an opposite of existing the "--exclude" option. * When "git am -3" needs to fall back to an application of the patch to a synthesized preimage followed by a 3-way merge, the paths that needed such treatment are now reported to the end user, so that the result in them can be eyeballed with extra care. * The output from "diff/log --stat" used to always allocate 4 columns to show the number of modified lines, but not anymore. * "git difftool" learned the "--dir-diff" option to spawn external diff tools that can compare two directory hierarchies at a time after populating two temporary directories, instead of running an instance of the external tool once per a file pair. * The "fmt-merge-msg" command learned to list the primary contributors involved in the side topic you are merging in a comment in the merge commit template. * "git rebase" learned to optionally keep commits that do not introduce any change in the original history. * "git push --recurse-submodules" learned to optionally look into the histories of submodules bound to the superproject and push them out. * A 'snapshot' request to "gitweb" honors If-Modified-Since: header, based on the commit date. * "gitweb" learned to highlight the patch it outputs even more. Foreign Interface * "git svn" used to die with unwanted SIGPIPE when talking with an HTTP server that uses keep-alive. * "git svn" learned to use platform specific authentication providers, e.g. gnome-keyring, kwallet, etc. * "git p4" has been moved out of the contrib/ area and has seen more work on importing labels as tags from (and exporting tags as labels to) p4. Performance and Internal Implementation (please report possible regressions) * Bash completion script (in contrib/) have been cleaned up to make future work on it simpler. * An experimental "version 4" format of the index file has been introduced to reduce on-disk footprint and I/O overhead. * "git archive" learned to produce its output without reading the blob object it writes out in memory in its entirety. * "git index-pack" that runs when fetching or pushing objects to complete the packfile on the receiving end learned to use multiple threads to do its job when available. * The code to compute hash values for lines used by the internal diff engine was optimized on little-endian machines, using the same trick the kernel folks came up with. * "git apply" had some memory leaks plugged. * Setting up a revision traversal with many starting points was inefficient as these were placed in a date-order priority queue one-by-one. Now they are collected in the queue unordered first, and sorted immediately before getting used. * More lower-level commands learned to use the streaming API to read from the object store without keeping everything in core. * The weighting parameters to suggestion command name typo have been tweaked, so that "git tags" will suggest "tag?" and not "stage?". * Because "sh" on the user's PATH may be utterly broken on some systems, run-command API now uses SHELL_PATH, not /bin/sh, when spawning an external command (not applicable to Windows port). * The API to iterate over the refs/ hierarchy has been tweaked to allow walking only a subset of it more efficiently. Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. Fixes since v1.7.10 ------------------- Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.7.10 in the maintenance releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for details). * "git submodule init" used to report "registered for path ..." even for submodules that were registered earlier. (cherry-pick c1c259e jl/submodule-report-new-path-once later to maint). * "git diff --stat" used to fully count a binary file with modified execution bits whose contents is unmodified, which was not quite right. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.7.11-rc3 are as follows: Alexander Strasser (1): diff: Only count lines in show_shortstats Jonathan Nieder (2): perl/Makefile.PL: warn about duplicate module list in perl/Makefile perl/Makefile: install Git::SVN::* when NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=yes, too Junio C Hamano (2): Git 1.7.10.5 Git 1.7.11 Marco Paolone (1): l10n: it.po: translate 212 new messages Ramsay Allan Jones (1): gitweb: Skip 'modification times' tests when no date parser available SZEDER Gábor (2): completion: put main git and gitk completion functions back into git namespace completion: remove credential helpers from porcelain commands Vincent van Ravesteijn (1): Do not autosquash in case of an implied interactive rebase -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html [Less]

"git push" without any refspec will push the current branch out to the same name at the remote repository only when it is set to track the branch with the same name over there. The plan is to make this mode the new default value when push.default is not configured. * A couple of commands learned the "--column" option to produce columnar output. * A third-party tool "git subtree" is distributed in contrib/ * Error messages given when @{u} is used for a branch without its upstream configured have been clatified. * Even with "-q"uiet option, "checkout" used to report setting up tracking. Also "branch" learned the "-q"uiet option to squelch informational message. * Your build platform may support hardlinks but you may prefer not to use them, e.g. when installing to DESTDIR to make a tarball and untarring on a filesystem that has poor support for hardlinks. There is a Makefile option NO_INSTALL_HARDLINKS for you. * The smart-http backend used to always override GIT_COMMITTER_* variables with REMOTE_USER and REMOTE_ADDR, but these variables are now preserved when set. * "git am" learned the "--include" option, which is an opposite of existing the "--exclude" option. * When "git am -3" needs to fall back to an application to a synthesized preimage followed by a 3-way merge, the paths that needed such treatment are now reported to the end user, so that the result in them can be eyeballed with extra care. * The output from "diff/log --stat" used to always allocate 4 columns to show the number of modified lines, but not anymore. * "git difftool" learned the "--dir-diff" option to spawn external diff tools that can compare two directory hierarchies at a time after populating two temporary directories, instead of running an instance of the external tool once per a file pair. * The "fmt-merge-msg" command learns to list the primary contributors involved in the side topic you are merging. * "git rebase" learned to optionally keep commits that do not introduce any change in the original history. * "git push --recurse-submodules" learned to optionally look into the histories of submodules bound to the superproject and push them out. * A 'snapshot' request to "gitweb" honors If-Modified-Since: header, based on the commit date. * "gitweb" learned to highlight the patch it outputs even more. Foreign Interface * "git svn" used to die with unwanted SIGPIPE when talking with HTTP server that uses keep-alive. * "git svn" learned to use platform specific authentication providers, e.g. gnome-keyring, kwallet, etc. * "git p4" has been moved out of contrib/ area and has seen more work on importing labels as tags from (and exporting tags as labels to) p4. Performance and Internal Implementation (please report possible regressions) * Bash completion script (in contrib/) have been cleaned up to make future work on it simpler. * An experimental "version 4" format of the index file has been introduced to reduce on-disk footprint and I/O overhead. * "git archive" learned to produce its output without reading the blob object it writes out in memory in its entirety. * "git index-pack" that runs when fetching or pushing objects to complete the packfile on the receiving end learned to use multiple threads to do its job when available. * The code to compute hash values for lines used by the internal diff engine was optimized on little-endian machines, using the same trick the kernel folks came up with. * "git apply" had some memory leaks plugged. * Setting up a revision traversal with many starting points was inefficient as these were placed in a date-order priority queue one-by-one. Now they are collected in the queue unordered first, and sorted immediately before getting used. * More lower-level commands learned to use the streaming API to read from the object store without keeping everything in core. * The weighting parameters to suggestion command name typo have been tweaked, so that "git tags" will suggest "tag?" and not "stage?". * Because "sh" on the user's PATH may be utterly broken on some systems, run-command API now uses SHELL_PATH, not /bin/sh, when spawning an external command (not applicable to Windows port). * The API to iterate over refs/ hierarchy has been tweaked to allow walking only a subset of it more efficiently. Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. Fixes since v1.7.10 ------------------- Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.7.10 in the maintenance releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for details). * "git rebase -p" used to pay attention to rebase.autosquash which was wrong. "git rebase -p -i" should, but "git rebase -p" by itself should not. (cherry-pick 8a6dae1 vr/rebase-autosquash-does-not-imply-i later to maint). * "git submodule init" used to report "registered for path ..." even for submodules that were registered earlier. (cherry-pick c1c259e jl/submodule-report-new-path-once later to maint). * "git diff --stat" used to fully count a binary file with modified execution bits whose contents is unmodified, which was not quite right. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.7.11-rc0 are as follows: Erik Faye-Lund (2): rebase: report invalid commit correctly Makefile: add missing GIT-VERSION-FILE dependency Jeff King (30): ident: split setup_ident into separate functions http-push: do not access git_default_email directly fmt-merge-msg: don't use static buffer in record_person move identity config parsing to ident.c move git_default_* variables to ident.c ident: trim trailing newline from /etc/mailname format-patch: use default email for generating message ids fmt_ident: drop IDENT_WARN_ON_NO_NAME code ident: don't write fallback username into git_default_name drop length limitations on gecos-derived names and emails ident: report passwd errors with a more friendly message ident: use full dns names to generate email addresses ident: use a dynamic strbuf in fmt_ident ident: trim whitespace from default name/email format-patch: refactor get_patch_filename fetch-pack: sort incoming heads fetch-pack: avoid quadratic behavior in remove_duplicates add sorting infrastructure for list refs fetch-pack: sort the list of incoming refs fetch-pack: avoid quadratic loop in filter_refs fetch-pack: sort incoming heads list earlier ident: reword empty ident error message ident: refactor NO_DATE flag in fmt_ident ident: let callers omit name with fmt_indent format-patch: use GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL in message ids ident: rename IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME to IDENT_STRICT ident: reject bogus email addresses with IDENT_STRICT format-patch: do not use bogus email addresses in message ids t5701: modernize style INSTALL: update asciidoc recommendation Jens Lehmann (1): submodules: print "registered for path" message only once Jiang Xin (5): l10n: Update git.pot (41 new messages) l10n: zh.CN.po: update by msgmerge git.pot l10n: zh_CN.po: translate 323 new messages l10n: Set nplurals of zh_CN.po from 1 to 2 i18n: apply: split to fix a partial i18n message Jonathan Nieder (3): git-svn: move Git::SVN::Prompt into its own file git-svn: rename SVN::Git::* packages to Git::SVN::* git-svn: make Git::SVN::Fetcher a separate file Junio C Hamano (6): refs: do not create ref_entry when searching cherry-pick: regression fix for empty commits Start preparing for 1.7.10.4 Update draft release notes to 1.7.11 Git 1.7.10.4 Git 1.7.11-rc1 Marco Paolone (1): l10n: New it.po file with 504 translations Matthieu Moy (1): Reduce cost of deletion in levenstein distance (4 -> 3) Michael Haggerty (5): free_ref_entry(): do not trigger reading of loose refs cmd_fetch_pack(): declare dest to be const cmd_fetch_pack(): handle non-option arguments outside of the loop cmd_fetch_pack(): combine the loop termination conditions cmd_fetch_pack(): respect constness of argv parameter Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (2): pack-objects, streaming: turn "xx >= big_file_threshold" to ".. > .." pack-objects: refactor write_object() into helper functions Peter Krefting (1): Update Swedish translation (728t0f0u) René Scharfe (3): refs: convert parameter of search_ref_dir() to length-limited string refs: convert parameter of create_dir_entry() to length-limited string refs: use strings directly in find_containing_dir() Tran Ngoc Quan (2): Init translation for Vietnamese First release translation for Vietnamese Vincent van Ravesteijn (1): Do not autosquash in case of an implied interactive rebase Vitor Antunes (3): git-p4: Test changelists touching two branches git-p4: Verify detection of "empty" branch creation git-p4: Clean up branch test cases -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html [Less]

The fix is not entirely correct when the output also asks for --patch and/or --stat, though. * The DWIM behaviour for "log --pretty=format:%gd -g" was somewhat broken and gave undue precedence to configured log.date, causing "git stash list" to show "stash@{time stamp string}". * "git status --porcelain" ignored "--branch" option by mistake. The output for "git status --branch -z" was also incorrect and did not terminate the record for the current branch name with NUL as asked. * When a submodule repository uses alternate object store mechanism, some commands that were started from the superproject did not notice it and failed with "No such object" errors. The subcommands of "git submodule" command that recursed into the submodule in a separate process were OK; only the ones that cheated and peeked directly into the submodule's repository from the primary process were affected. Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.7.10.2 are as follows: Bobby Powers (2): diff --no-index: reset temporary buffer lengths on directory iteration diff --no-index: don't leak buffers in queue_diff Carlos Martín Nieto (1): pack-protocol: fix first-want separator in the examples Erik Faye-Lund (2): clone: fix progress-regression checkout: do not corrupt HEAD on empty repo Heiko Voigt (2): link to gitmodules page at the beginning of git-submodule documentation teach add_submodule_odb() to look for alternates Jan Krüger (1): log-tree: use custom line terminator in line termination mode Jeff King (10): docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literal t1411: add more selector index/date tests log: respect date_mode_explicit with --format:%gd reflog-walk: clean up "flag" field of commit_reflog struct reflog-walk: always make HEAD@{0} show indexed selectors commit: refactor option parsing status: refactor null_termination option status: fix null termination with "-b" status: respect "-b" for porcelain format osxkeychain: pull make config from top-level directory Jens Lehmann (1): Consistently use "superproject" instead of "supermodule" Jiang Xin (4): l10n: Update git.pot (1 new messages) l10n: zh_CN.po: translate 1 new message l10n: Update git.pot (3 new, 2 removed messages) l10n: zh_CN.po: translate 3 new messages Johannes Sixt (3): t2020-checkout-detach: check for the number of orphaned commits checkout (detached): truncate list of orphaned commits at the new HEAD t3404: begin "exchange commits with -p" test with correct preconditions Jonathan Nieder (1): config doc: remove confusion about relative GIT_DIR from FILES section Junio C Hamano (5): log-tree: the previous one is still not quite right reflog-walk: tell explicit --date=default from not having --date at all Start preparing for 1.7.10.3 Update draft release notes to 1.7.10.3 Git 1.7.10.3 Linus Torvalds (1): fmt-merge-message: add empty line between tag and signature verification Ralf Thielow (7): l10n: add new members to German translation team l10n: de.po: translate "track" as "beobachten" l10n: de.po: translate "remote" as "extern" l10n: de.po: collection of improvements l10n: de.po: unify translation of "ahead" and "behind" l10n: de.po: translate one new message l10n: de.po: translate 3 new messages Thomas Rast (4): l10n: de.po: translate "bare" as "bloß" l10n: de.po: hopefully uncontroversial fixes l10n: de.po: translate "bad" as "ungültig" ("invalid") l10n: de.po: collection of suggestions -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html [Less]
