Done in 0.99.7

~~~~~~~~~~~~

|
|
|
Some commands and most scripts are renamed for consistency.
|
|
|
|
- We have an official standard terminology list [*1*]. To
|
|
match this, commands that operate on index files now have
|
|
'index' instead of 'cache' in their names, and ones that
|
|
download are called 'fetch' instead of 'pull'.
|
|
|
|
- We used to install most of the commands that happen to be
|
|
implemented as scripts as 'git-*-script', which was
|
|
cumbersome to remember and type unless you always used 'git'
|
|
wrapper. They lost '-script' suffix from their names.
|
|
|
|
For now, we install synonyms as symbolic links so that old
|
|
names continue to work, but they are planned to be removed in
|
|
0.99.8 (or later if there are enough objections on the list --
|
|
so far I have heard none).
|
|
|
|
Also ancient environment variables [*2*] are not supported
|
|
anymore.

New Features and Commands
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Downloaders that are not fully git aware have been taught about
|
|
the mechanism to borrow objects from other repositories via
|
|
objects/info/alternates the server side may be using. 'git
|
|
fetch' and 'git pull' commands over rsync and http transport
|
|
should be able to handle such repositories [*3*].
|
|
|
|
People found interesting cases where the 'stupid' three-way
|
|
merge mechanism does the wrong thing without noticing. We have
|
|
two new merge algorithms by Daniel and Fredrik that attempt to
|
|
do better in such cases. A new 'git merge' command has been
|
|
introduced to make it easier to experiment with and choose among
|
|
different merge strategies. Note that 'git pull' still uses the
|
|
traditional three-way merge after downloading, but it is
|
|
expected to be switched to use 'git merge' sometime in the
|
|
future.
|
|
|
|
Importing from tla archives has been improved and documentated.
|
|
|
|
'git branch' command acquired '-d' flag to delete a branch that
|
|
has already been merged into the current branch.
|
|
|
|
'git bisect' command is easier to use by logging the earlier
|
|
good/bad choices and make it replayable.
|
|
|
|
'git repack' has -a' flag to pack the whole repository into a
|
|
single pack.
|
|
|
|
'git grep' is a new command to run grep on files 'git' knows
|
|
about.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes
|
|
~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* 'git-diff-*' commands used to mark copy/rename incorrectly
|
|
when an (A,B) => (B,C) rename was made. We said the new B is
|
|
a copy of old A, not a rename of old A.
|
|
|
|
* When the user exported CDPATH into environment, 'cd' took
|
|
scripts to unexpected places. Unset it upfront to guard us.
|
|
|
|
* 'git format-patch' knows about 'git cherry' and skips patches
|
|
already merged upstream.
|
|
|
|
* hopefully plugged memory leak in diffcore-rename properly.
|
|
|
|
* commit walkers incorrectly assumed having a commit means we
|
|
have the whole history leading up to it -- which is not true
|
|
if the previous download was interrupted. As a safety
|
|
measure, we now only trust the commits that are pointed by the
|
|
existing refs.
|
|
|
|
* 'git rev-list' uses a lot less memory.
|
|
|
|
* The build should be a bit friendlier to Solaris and Darwin now.
|
|
|
|
* 'git ssh-{push,pull}' are friendlier to tcsh.
|
|
|
|
* http transport is nicer to caching proxies.
|
|
|
|
* 'git daemon' port is registered with IANA.
|
|
|
|
* Many documentation updates.
