A release candidate Git 1.7.8.rc2 is available for testing. Since rc0, we killed all known regressions.

Please test thoroughly to hunt for regressions. Hopefully we can have something reasonable by late November before many in the US will stop working and start stuffing themselves. Git v1.7.8 Release Notes (draft) ================================ Updates since v1.7.7 -------------------- * Some git-svn, git-gui, git-p4 (in contrib) and msysgit updates. * Updates to bash completion scripts. * The build procedure has been taught to take advantage of computed dependency automatically when the complier supports it. * The date parser now accepts timezone designators that lack minutes part and also has a colon between "hh:mm". * The contents of the /etc/mailname file, if exists, is used as the default value of the hostname part of the committer/author e-mail. * "git am" learned how to read from patches generated by Hg. * "git archive" talking with a remote repository can report errors from the remote side in a more informative way. * "git branch" learned an explicit --list option to ask for branches listed, optionally with a glob matching pattern to limit its output. * "git check-attr" learned "--cached" option to look at .gitattributes files from the index, not from the working tree. * Variants of "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" that take multiple commits learned to "--continue". * "git daemon" gives more human readble error messages to clients using ERR packets when appropriate. * Errors at the network layer is logged by "git daemon". * "git diff" learned "--minimal" option to spend extra cycles to come up with a minimal patch output. * "git diff" learned "--function-context" option to show the whole function as context that was affected by a change. * "git difftool" can be told to skip launching the tool for a path by answering 'n' to its prompt. * "git fetch" learned to honor transfer.fsckobjects configuration to validate the objects that were received from the other end, just like "git receive-pack" (the receiving end of "git push") does. * "git fetch" makes sure that the set of objects it received from the other end actually completes the history before updating the refs. "git receive-pack" (the receiving end of "git push") learned to do the same. * "git fetch" learned that fetching/cloning from a regular file on the filesystem is not necessarily a request to unpack a bundle file; the file could be ".git" with "gitdir: " in it. * "git for-each-ref" learned "%(contents:subject)", "%(contents:body)" and "%(contents:signature)". The last one is useful for signed tags. * "git grep" used to incorrectly pay attention to .gitignore files scattered in the directory it was working in even when "--no-index" option was used. It no longer does this. The "--exclude-standard" option needs to be given to explicitly activate the ignore mechanism. * "git grep" learned "--untracked" option, where given patterns are searched in untracked (but not ignored) files as well as tracked files in the working tree, so that matches in new but not yet added files do not get missed. * The recursive merge backend no longer looks for meaningless existing merges in submodules unless in the outermost merge. * "git log" and friends learned "--children" option. * "git ls-remote" learned to respond to "-h"(elp) requests. * "git merge" learned the "--edit" option to allow users to edit the merge commit log message. * "git rebase -i" can be told to use special purpose editor suitable only for its insn sheet via sequence.editor configuration variable. * "git send-email" learned to respond to "-h"(elp) requests. * "git send-email" allows the value given to sendemail.aliasfile to begin with "~/" to refer to the $HOME directory. * "git send-email" forces use of Authen::SASL::Perl to work around issues between Authen::SASL::Cyrus and AUTH PLAIN/LOGIN. * "git stash" learned "--include-untracked" option to stash away untracked/ignored cruft from the working tree. * "git submodule clone" does not leak an error message to the UI level unnecessarily anymore. * "git submodule update" learned to honor "none" as the value for submodule..update to specify that the named submodule should not be checked out by default. * When populating a new submodule directory with "git submodule init", the $GIT_DIR metainformation directory for submodules is created inside $GIT_DIR/modules// directory of the superproject and referenced via the gitfile mechanism. This is to make it possible to switch between commits in the superproject that has and does not have the submodule in the tree without re-cloning. * "mediawiki" remote helper can interact with (surprise!) MediaWiki with "git fetch" & "git push". * "gitweb" leaked unescaped control characters from syntax hiliter outputs. * "gitweb" can be told to give custom string at the end of the HTML HEAD element. * "gitweb" now has its own manual pages. Also contains other documentation updates and minor code cleanups. Fixes since v1.7.7 ------------------ Unless otherwise noted, all fixes in the 1.7.7.X maintenance track are included in this release. * We used to drop error messages from libcurl on certain kinds of errors. (merge be22d92eac8 jn/maint-http-error-message later to maint). * Error report from smart HTTP transport, when the connection was broken in the middle of a transfer, showed a useless message on a corrupt packet. (merge 6cdf022 sp/smart-http-failure later to maint). * HTTP transport did not use pushurl correctly, and also did not tell what host it is trying to authenticate with when asking for credentials. (merge deba493 jk/http-auth later to maint). * "git branch -m/-M" advertised to update RENAME_REF ref in the commit log message that introduced the feature but not anywhere in the documentation, and never did update such a ref anyway. This undocumented misfeature that did not exist has been excised. (merge b0eab01 jc/maint-remove-renamed-ref later to maint). * Adding many refs to the local repository in one go (e.g. "git fetch" that fetches many tags) and looking up a ref by name in a repository with too many refs were unnecessarily slow. (merge 17d68a54d jp/get-ref-dir-unsorted later to maint). * "git fetch --prune" was unsafe when used with refspecs from the command line. (merge e8c1e6c cn/fetch-prune later to maint). * Report from "git commit" on untracked files was confused under core.ignorecase option. (merge 2548183b jk/name-hash-dirent later to maint). * The attribute mechanism did not use case insensitive match when core.ignorecase was set. (merge 6eba621 bc/attr-ignore-case later to maint). * "git bisect" did not notice when it failed to update the working tree to the next commit to be tested. (merge 1acf11717 js/bisect-no-checkout later to maint). * "git config --bool --get-regexp" failed to separate the variable name and its value "true" when the variable is defined without "= true". (merge 880e3cc mm/maint-config-explicit-bool-display later to maint). * "git remote rename $a $b" were not careful to match the remote name against $a (i.e. source side of the remote nickname). (merge b52d00aed mz/remote-rename later to maint). * "git diff --[num]stat" used to use the number of lines of context different from the default, potentially giving different results from "git diff | diffstat" and confusing the users. (merge f01cae918 jc/maint-diffstat-numstat-context later to maint). * "git merge" did not understand ":/" as a way to name a commit. * "git mergetool" learned to use its arguments as pathspec, not a path to the file that may not even have any conflict. (merge 6d9990a jm/mergetool-pathspec later to maint). * "git pull" and "git rebase" did not work well even when GIT_WORK_TREE is set correctly with GIT_DIR if the current directory is outside the working tree. (merge 035b5bf jk/pull-rebase-with-work-tree later to maint). " "git push" on the receiving end used to call post-receive and post-update hooks for attempted removal of non-existing refs. (merge 160b81ed ph/push-to-delete-nothing later to maint). * "git send-email" did not honor the configured hostname when restarting the HELO/EHLO exchange after switching TLS on. (merge 155b940 md/smtp-tls-hello-again later to maint). * "gitweb" used to produce a non-working link while showing the contents of a blob, when JavaScript actions are enabled. (merge 2b07ff3ff ps/gitweb-js-with-lineno later to maint). * The logic to filter out forked projects in the project list in "gitweb" was broken for some time. (merge 53c632f jm/maint-gitweb-filter-forks-fix later to maint). ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.7.7 are as follows: Bert Wesarg (7): grep: do not use --index in the short usage output grep --no-index: don't use git standard exclusions git-gui: search and linenumber input are mutual exclusive in the blame view git-gui: only accept numbers in the goto-line input git-gui: clear the goto line input when hiding git-gui: incremental goto line in blame view grep: fix the error message that mentions --exclude Brad King (3): rev-list: Demonstrate breakage with --ancestry-path --all submodule: Demonstrate known breakage during recursive merge submodule: Search for merges only at end of recursive merge Brandon Casey (13): t/t3905: use the name 'actual' for test output, swap arguments to test_cmp git-stash.sh: fix typo in error message t/t3905: add missing '&&' linkage git-stash: remove untracked/ignored directories when stashed attr.c: avoid inappropriate access to strbuf "buf" member cleanup: use internal memory allocation wrapper functions everywhere builtin/mv.c: plug miniscule memory leak refs.c: ensure struct whose member may be passed to realloc is initialized refs.c: abort ref search if ref array is empty refs.c: free duplicate entries in the ref array instead of leaking them attr.c: respect core.ignorecase when matching attribute patterns strbuf.c: remove unnecessary strbuf_grow() from strbuf_getwholeline() t/t3000-ls-files-others.sh: use $SHELL_PATH to run git-new-workdir script Carlos Martín Nieto (7): Remove 'working copy' from the documentation and C code fetch: free all the additional refspecs t5510: add tests for fetch --prune remote: separate out the remote_find_tracking logic into query_refspecs fetch: honor the user-provided refspecs when pruning refs fetch: treat --tags like refs/tags/*:refs/tags/* when pruning Documentation: update [section.subsection] to reflect what git does Chris Packham (1): git-web--browse: avoid the use of eval Christian Couder (1): bisect: fix exiting when checkout failed in bisect_start() Christoffer Pettersson (1): git-gui: Corrected a typo in the Swedish translation of 'Continue' Clemens Buchacher (5): remove prefix argument from pathspec_prefix rename pathspec_prefix() to common_prefix() and move to dir.[ch] send-email: add option -h use -h for synopsis and --help for manpage consistently use test number as port number Cord Seele (3): Add Git::config_path() use new Git::config_path() for aliasesfile send-email: Fix %config_path_settings handling Dan McGee (2): tree-walk: drop unused parameter from match_dir_prefix tree-walk: micro-optimization in tree_entry_interesting David Aguilar (1): Makefile: Improve compiler header dependency check David Fries (2): git-gui: Enable jumping to a specific line number in blame view. git-gui: Add keyboard shortcuts for search and goto commands in blame view.

Hello everyone, another minor libgit2 release is here. This time with proper networking support, even on Windows/MSVC. The release has been tagged at: https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/tree/v0.15.0 A dist package can be found at: ... [More] https://github.com/downloads/libgit2/libgit2/libgit2-0.15.0.tar.gz Updated documentation can be found at: http://libgit2.github.com/libgit2/ The full change log follows after the message. Cheers, Vicent ================ libgit2 v0.15.0 "Das Wunderbar Release" I am aware the codename is not gramatically correct in any language. Check the COPYING file for the detailed terms on libgit2's license. Check the AUTHORS file for the full list of guilty parties. As we slowly stabilize the API, we've dropped 1 function from the library, and changed the signature of only 5 of them. In this release of libgit2: * `git_blob_rawsize`: Now returns `size_t` instead of int, allowing files >4GB in 64 bit systems. - `git_commit_message_short`: Please use `git_commit_message` to get the full message and decide which is the "short view" according to your needs (first line, first 80 chars...) + `git_commit_message_encoding`: Returns the encoding field of a commit message, if it exists. * `git_commit_create`, `git_commit_create_v`: New argument `encoding`, which adds a encoding field to the generated commit object. + `git_config_find_system`: Returns the path to the system's global config file (according to the Core Git standards). * `git_config_get_XX`, `git_config_set_XX`: the `long` and `int` types have been replaced by `int64` and `int32` respectively, to make their meaning more obvious. + `git_indexer`: An interface to index Git Packfiles has been added in the `git2/indexer.h` header. * `git_reflog_entry_XX`: Reflog entries are now returned as `git_oid *` objects instead of hexadecimal OIDs. + `git_remote`: More fetch functionality has been added to the `git2/remote.h` functionality. Local, Smart HTTP and Git protocols are now supported. + `git_repository_head`: Returns the HEAD of the repository. + `git_repository_config_autoload`: Opens the configuration file of a repository, including the user's and the system's global config files, if they can be found. * `git_signature_now`: Now returns an error code; the signature is stored by reference. -- 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]

We used to reject anything that was not deflated with 32kb window. * Interaction between the use of pager and coloring of the output has been improved, especially when a command that is not built-in was involved. * "git am" learned to pass the "--exclude=" option through to underlying "git apply". * You can now feed many empty lines before feeding an mbox file to "git am". * "git archive" can be told to pass the output to gzip compression and produce "archive.tar.gz". * "git bisect" can be used in a bare repository (provided that the test you perform per each iteration does not need a working tree, of course). * The length of abbreviated object names in "git branch -v" output now honors the core.abbrev configuration variable. * "git check-attr" can take relative paths from the command line. * "git check-attr" learned an "--all" option to list the attributes for a given path. * "git checkout" (both the code to update the files upon checking out a different branch and the code to checkout a specific set of files) learned to stream the data from object store when possible, without having to read the entire contents of a file into memory first. An earlier round of this code that is not in any released version had a large leak but now it has been plugged. * "git clone" can now take a "--config key=value" option to set the repository configuration options that affect the initial checkout. * "git commit ..." now lets you feed relative pathspecs that refer to outside your current subdirectory. * "git diff --stat" learned a --stat-count option to limit the output of a diffstat report. * "git diff" learned a "--histogram" option to use a different diff generation machinery stolen from jgit, which might give better performance. * "git diff" had a weird worst case behaviour that can be triggered when comparing files with potentially many places that could match. * "git fetch", "git push" and friends no longer show connection errors for addresses that couldn't be connected to when at least one address succeeds (this is arguably a regression but a deliberate one). * "git grep" learned "--break" and "--heading" options, to let users mimic the output format of "ack". * "git grep" learned a "-W" option that shows wider context using the same logic used by "git diff" to determine the hunk header. * Invoking the low-level "git http-fetch" without "-a" option (which git itself never did---normal users should not have to worry about this) is now deprecated. * The "--decorate" option to "git log" and its family learned to highlight grafted and replaced commits. * "git rebase master topci" no longer spews usage hints after giving the "fatal: no such branch: topci" error message. * The recursive merge strategy implementation got a fairly large fix for many corner cases that may rarely happen in real world projects (it has been verified that none of the 16000+ merges in the Linux kernel history back to v2.6.12 is affected with the corner case bugs this update fixes). * "git stash" learned an "--include-untracked option". * "git submodule update" used to stop at the first error updating a submodule; it now goes on to update other submodules that can be updated, and reports the ones with errors at the end. * "git push" can be told with the "--recurse-submodules=check" option to refuse pushing of the supermodule, if any of its submodules' commits hasn't been pushed out to their remotes. * "git upload-pack" and "git receive-pack" learned to pretend that only a subset of the refs exist in a repository. This may help a site to put many tiny repositories into one repository (this would not be useful for larger repositories as repacking would be problematic). * "git verify-pack" has been rewritten to use the "index-pack" machinery that is more efficient in reading objects in packfiles. * test scripts for gitweb tried to run even when CGI-related perl modules are not installed; they now exit early when the latter are unavailable. Also contains various documentation updates and minor miscellaneous changes. Fixes since v1.7.6 ------------------ Unless otherwise noted, all fixes in the 1.7.6.X maintenance track are included in this release. * "git branch -m" and "git checkout -b" incorrectly allowed the tip of the branch that is currently checked out updated. -- 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]
