Git v1.7.11 Release Notes
=========================
Updates since v1.7.10
---------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* 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.
* 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 "fmt-merge-msg" command learns to list the primary contributors
involved in the side topic you are merging.
* The cases "git push" fails due to non-ff can be broken into three
categories; each case is given a separate advise message.
* "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 p4" has been moved out of contrib/ area.
Performance
* "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.
Internal Implementation (please report possible regressions)
* "git rev-parse --show-prefix" used to emit nothing when run at the
top-level of the working tree, but now it gives a blank line.
* Minor memory leak during unpack_trees (hence "merge" and "checkout"
to check out another branch) has been plugged.
* More lower-level commands learned to use the streaming API to read
from the object store without keeping everything in core.
* 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).
* The i18n of error message "git stash save" was not properly done.
(merge ed3c400 rl/maint-stash-i18n-save-error later to maint).
* The report from "git fetch" said "new branch" even for a non branch
ref.
(merge 0997ada mb/fetch-call-a-non-branch-a-ref later to maint).
* The "diff --no-index" codepath used limited-length buffers, risking
pathnames getting truncated. Update it to use the strbuf API.
(merge 875b91b jm/maint-strncpy-diff-no-index later to maint).
* The parser in "fast-import" did not diagnose ":9" style references
that is not followed by required SP/LF as an error.
(merge 06454cb pw/fast-import-dataref-parsing later to maint).
* When "git fetch" encounters repositories with too many references,
the command line of "fetch-pack" that is run by a helper
e.g. remote-curl, may fail to hold all of them. Now such an
internal invocation can feed the references through the standard
input of "fetch-pack".
(merge 7103d25 it/fetch-pack-many-refs later to maint).
* "git fetch" that recurses into submodules on demand did not check
if it needs to go into submodules when non branches (most notably,
tags) are fetched.
(merge a6801ad jl/maint-submodule-recurse-fetch later to maint).
* "git blame" started missing quite a few changes from the origin
since we stopped using the diff minimalization by default in v1.7.2
era.
(merge 059a500 jc/maint-blame-minimal later to maint).
* "log -p --graph" used with "--stat" had a few formatting error.
(merge e2c5966 lp/maint-diff-three-dash-with-graph later to maint).
* Giving "--continue" to a conflicted "rebase -i" session skipped a
commit that only results in changes to submodules.
(merge a6754cd jk/rebase-i-submodule-conflict-only later to maint).
