Instead we should ignore such event as a non-error. * The commit log template given with "git merge --edit" did not have a short instructive text like what "git commit" gives. * "git rev-list --verify-objects -q" omitted the extra verification it needs to do over "git rev-list --objects -q" by mistake. * "gitweb" used to drop warnings in the log file when "heads" view is accessed in a repository whose HEAD does not point at a valid branch. * An invalid regular expression pattern given by an end user made "gitweb" to return garbled response. Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.7.9.2 are as follows: Andrew Wong (1): rebase -m: only call "notes copy" when rewritten exists and is non-empty Carlos Martín Nieto (2): branch: don't assume the merge filter ref exists Documentation: use {asterisk} in rev-list-options.txt when needed Clemens Buchacher (1): http.proxy: also mention https_proxy and all_proxy Dmitry V.

We should have created the commit without these paths. * "git diff --stat" said "files", "insertions", and "deletions" even when it is showing one "file", one "insertion" or one "deletion". * The output from "git diff --stat" for two paths that have the same amount of changes showed graph bars of different length due to the way we handled rounding errors. * "git grep" did not pay attention to -diff (hence -binary) attribute. * The transport programs (fetch, push, clone)ignored --no-progress and showed progress when sending their output to a terminal. * Sometimes error status detected by a check in an earlier phase of "git receive-pack" (the other end of "git push") was lost by later checks, resulting in false indication of success. * "git rev-list --verify" sometimes skipped verification depending on the phase of the moon, which dates back to 1.7.8.x series. * Search box in "gitweb" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly. * Search interface of "gitweb" did not show multiple matches in the same file correctly. Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.7.9.1 are as follows: Christian Hammerl (1): completion: Allow dash as the first character for __git_ps1 Clemens Buchacher (4): git rev-list: fix invalid typecast push/fetch/clone --no-progress suppresses progress output t5541: check error message against the real port number used do not override receive-pack errors Felipe Contreras (3): completion: work around zsh option propagation bug completion: use ls -1 instead of rolling a loop to do that ourselves completion: simplify __gitcomp and __gitcomp_nl implementations Jakub Narebski (2): gitweb: Allow UTF-8 encoded CGI query parameters and path_info gitweb: Fix 'grep' search for multiple matches in file Jeff King (12): grep: make locking flag global grep: move sha1-reading mutex into low-level code grep: refactor the concept of "grep source" into an object convert git-grep to use grep_source interface grep: drop grep_buffer's "name" parameter grep: cache userdiff_driver in grep_source grep: respect diff attributes for binary-ness grep: load file data after checking binary-ness grep: pre-load userdiff drivers when threaded standardize and improve lookup rules for external local repos prompt: clean up strbuf usage prompt: fall back to terminal if askpass fails Jiang Xin (2): i18n: git-commit whence_s "merge/cherry-pick" message i18n: format_tracking_info "Your branch is behind" message Johannes Sixt (1): Makefile: fix syntax for older make Junio C Hamano (8): mailmap: always return a plain mail address from map_user() git checkout -b: allow switching out of an unborn branch commit: ignore intent-to-add entries instead of refusing diff --stat: show bars of same length for paths with same amount of changes Update draft release notes to 1.7.9.2 Update draft release notes to 1.7.9.2 Update draft release notes to 1.7.9.2 Git 1.7.9.2 Matthieu Moy (1): fsck: give accurate error message on empty loose object files Namhyung Kim (2): ctype.c only wants git-compat-util.h ctype: implement islower/isupper macro Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (3): sha1_file.c: move the core logic of find_pack_entry() into fill_pack_entry() find_pack_entry(): do not keep packed_git pointer locally Use correct grammar in diffstat summary line Philip Jägenstedt (2): completion: remove stale "to submit patches" documentation completion: use tabs for indentation Ralf Thielow (2): completion: --edit-description option for git-branch completion: --list option for git-branch Theodore Ts'o (1): Fix build problems related to profile-directed optimization Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek (2): pager: find out the terminal width before spawning the pager man: rearrange git synopsis to fit in 80 lines Дилян Палаузов (1): Makefile: introduce CHARSET_LIB to link with -lcharset -- 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 latest maintenance release Git 1.7.9.1 is now available at the usual places.

Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.7.9 are as follows: Adrian Weimann (1): completion: --edit and --no-edit for git-merge Albert Yale (1): grep: fix -l/-L interaction with decoration lines Ben Walton (1): Drop system includes from inet_pton/inet_ntop compatibility wrappers Clemens Buchacher (2): fix push --quiet: add 'quiet' capability to receive-pack dashed externals: kill children on exit David Aguilar (1): mergetool: Provide an empty file when needed Jakub Narebski (1): git.spec: Workaround localized messages not put in any RPM Jeff King (4): run-command: optionally kill children on exit imap-send: remove dead code tag: fix output of "tag -n" when errors occur tag: die when listing missing or corrupt objects Jens Lehmann (1): submodule add: fix breakage when re-adding a deep submodule Johannes Schindelin (1): add -e: do not show difference in a submodule that is merely dirty Junio C Hamano (15): server_supports(): parse feature list more carefully Making pathspec limited log play nicer with --first-parent request-pull: explicitly ask tags/$name to be pulled tests: add write_script helper function parse_date(): allow ancient git-timestamp parse_date(): '@' prefix forces git-timestamp merge: do not create a signed tag merge under --ff-only option branch --edit-description: protect against mistyped branch name Git 1.7.6.6 Prepare for 1.7.9.1 tag: do not show non-tag contents with "-n" merge: do not launch an editor on "--no-edit $tag" Update draft release notes to 1.7.9.1 Update draft release notes to 1.7.9.1 Git 1.7.9.1 Michael J Gruber (1): t5541: avoid TAP test miscounting Michael Palimaka (1): Explicitly set X to avoid potential build breakage Shawn O.

Hello everyone, another minor libgit2 release is here, albeit slightly delayed. This one ships from Brussels, damn it's cold. The release has been tagged at: https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/tree/v0.16.0 A dist package can be found at: ... [More] https://github.com/downloads/libgit2/libgit2/libgit2-0.16.0.tar.gz Updated documentation can be found at: http://libgit2.github.com/libgit2/ The full change log follows after the message. Cheers, Vicent =================================== libgit2 v0.16.0 "Dutch Fries" This lovely and much delayed release of libgit2 ships from the cold city of Brussels, which is currently hosting FOSDEM 2012. There's been plenty of changes since the latest stable release, here's a full summary: - Git Attributes support (see git2/attr.h) There is now support to efficiently parse and retrieve information from `.gitattribute` files in a repository. Note that this information is not yet used e.g. when checking out files. - .gitignore support Likewise, all the operations that are affected by `.gitignore` files now take into account the global, user and local ignores when skipping the relevant files. - Cleanup of the object ownership semantics The ownership semantics for all repository subparts (index, odb, config files, etc) has been redesigned. All these objects are now reference counted, and can be hot-swapped in the middle of execution, allowing for instance to add a working directory and an index to a repository that was previously opened as bare, or to change the source of the ODB objects after initialization. Consequently, the repository API has been simplified to remove all the `_openX` calls that allowed setting these subparts *before* initialization. - git_index_read_tree() Git trees can now be read into the index. - More reflog functionality The reference log has been optimized, and new API calls to rename and delete the logs for a reference have been added. - Rewrite of the References code with explicit ownership semantics The references code has been mostly rewritten to take into account the cases where another Git application was modifying a repository's references while the Library was running. References are now explicitly loaded and free'd by the user, and they may be reloaded in the middle of execution if the user suspects that their values may have changed on disk. Despite the new ownership semantics, the references API stays the same. - Simplified the Remotes API Some of the more complex Remote calls have been refactored into higher level ones, to facilitate the usual `fetch` workflow of a repository. - Greatly improved thread-safety The library no longer has race conditions when loading objects from the same ODB and different threads at the same time. There's now full TLS support, even for error codes. When the library is built with `THREADSAFE=1`, the threading support must be globally initialized before it can be used (see `git_threads_init()`) - Tree walking API A new API can recursively traverse trees and subtrees issuing callbacks for every single entry. - Tree diff API There is basic support for diff'ing an index against two trees. - Improved windows support The Library is now codepage aware under Windows32: new API calls allow the user to set the default codepage for the OS in order to avoid strange Unicode errors. -- 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 v1.7.9 Release Notes ======================== Updates since v1.7.8 -------------------- * gitk updates accumulated since early 2011. * git-gui updated to 0.16.0. * git-p4 (in contrib/) updates. * Git uses gettext to translate its most common interface messages into the user's language if translations are available and the locale is appropriately set. Distributors can drop new PO files in po/ to add new translations. * The code to handle username/password for HTTP transactions used in "git push" & "git fetch" learned to talk "credential API" to external programs to cache or store them, to allow integration with platform native keychain mechanisms. * The input prompts in the terminal use our own getpass() replacement when possible. HTTP transactions used to ask for the username without echoing back what was typed, but with this change you will see it as you type. * The internals of "revert/cherry-pick" have been tweaked to prepare building more generic "sequencer" on top of the implementation that drives them. * "git rev-parse FETCH_HEAD" after "git fetch" without specifying what to fetch from the command line will now show the commit that would be merged if the command were "git pull". * "git add" learned to stream large files directly into a packfile instead of writing them into individual loose object files. * "git checkout -B " is a more intuitive way to spell "git reset --keep ". * "git checkout" and "git merge" learned "--no-overwrite-ignore" option to tell Git that untracked and ignored files are not expendable. * "git commit --amend" learned "--no-edit" option to say that the user is amending the tree being recorded, without updating the commit log message. * "git commit" and "git reset" re-learned the optimization to prime the cache-tree information in the index, which makes it faster to write a tree object out after the index entries are updated. * "git commit" detects and rejects an attempt to stuff NUL byte in the commit log message. * "git commit" learned "-S" to GPG-sign the commit; this can be shown with the "--show-signature" option to "git log". * fsck and prune are relatively lengthy operations that still go silent while making the end-user wait. They learned to give progress output like other slow operations. * The set of built-in function-header patterns for various languages knows MATLAB. * "git log --format=''" learned new %g[nNeE] specifiers to show information from the reflog entries when walking the reflog (i.e. with "-g"). * "git pull" can be used to fetch and merge an annotated/signed tag, instead of the tip of a topic branch. The GPG signature from the signed tag is recorded in the resulting merge commit for later auditing. * "git log" learned "--show-signature" option to show the signed tag that was merged that is embedded in the merge commit. It also can show the signature made on the commit with "git commit -S". * "git branch --edit-description" can be used to add descriptive text to explain what a topic branch is about. * "git fmt-merge-msg" learned to take the branch description into account when preparing a merge summary that "git merge" records when merging a local branch. * "git request-pull" has been updated to convey more information useful for integrators to decide if a topic is worth merging and what is pulled is indeed what the requestor asked to pull, including: - the tip of the branch being requested to be merged; - the branch description describing what the topic is about; - the contents of the annotated tag, when requesting to pull a tag. * "git pull" learned to notice 'pull.rebase' configuration variable, which serves as a global fallback for setting 'branch..rebase' configuration variable per branch. * "git tag" learned "--cleanup" option to control how the whitespaces and empty lines in tag message are cleaned up. * "gitweb" learned to show side-by-side diff. Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.

Distributors can drop in new PO files in po/ to add new translations. * The code to handle username/password for HTTP transaction used in "git push" & "git fetch" learned to talk "credential API" to external programs to cache or store them, to allow integration with platform native keychain mechanisms. * The prompted input in the terminal use our own getpass() replacement when possible. HTTP transactions used to ask username without echoing back what was typed, but with this change you will see it as you type. * The internal of "revert/cherry-pick" has been tweaked to prepare building more generic "sequencer" on top of the implementation that drives them. * "git rev-parse FETCH_HEAD" after "git fetch" without specifying what to fetch from the command line will now show the commit that would be merged if the command were "git pull". * "git add" learned to stream large files directly into a packfile instead of writing them into individual loose object files. * "git checkout -B " is a more intuitive way to spell "git reset --keep ". * "git checkout" and "git merge" learned "--no-overwrite-ignore" option to tell Git that untracked and ignored files are not expendable. * "git commit --amend" learned "--no-edit" option to say that the user is amending the tree being recorded, without updating the commit log message. * "git commit" and "git reset" re-learned the optimization to prime the cache-tree information in the index, which makes it faster to write a tree object out after the index entries are updated. * "git commit" detects and rejects an attempt to stuff NUL byte in the commit log message. * "git commit" learned "-S" to GPG-sign the commit; this can be shown with the "--show-signature" option to "git log". * fsck and prune are relatively lengthy operations that still go silent while making the end-user wait. They learned to give progress output like other slow operations. * The set of built-in function-header patterns for various languages knows MATLAB. * "git log --format=''" learned new %g[nNeE] specifiers to show information from the reflog entries when warlking the reflog (i.e. with "-g"). * "git pull" can be used to fetch and merge an annotated/signed tag, instead of the tip of a topic branch. The GPG signature from the signed tag is recorded in the resulting merge commit for later auditing. * "git log" learned "--show-signature" option to show the signed tag that was merged that is embedded in the merge commit. It also can show the signature made on the commit with "git commit -S". * "git branch --edit-description" can be used to add descriptive text to explain what a topic branch is about. * "git fmt-merge-msg" learned to take the branch description into account when preparing a merge summary that "git merge" records when merging a local branch. * "git request-pull" has been updated to convey more information useful for integrators to decide if a topic is worth merging and what is pulled is indeed what the requestor asked to pull, including: - the tip of the branch being requested to be merged; - the branch description describing what the topic is about; - the contents of the annotated tag, when requesting to pull a tag. * "git pull" learned to notice 'pull.rebase' configuration variable, which serves as a global fallback for setting 'branch..rebase' configuration variable per branch. * "git tag" learned "--cleanup" option to control how the whitespaces and empty lines in tag message are cleaned up. * "gitweb" learned to show side-by-side diff. Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
