* When you do not tell which branches and tags to push to the "git push"
command in any way, the command used "matching refs" rule to update
remote branches and tags with branches and tags with the same name you
- locally have. In future versions of Git, this will change to use the
- "upstream" rule to update the branch at the remote you would "pull"
- from into your current branch with your local current branch. The
- release after 1.7.10 will start issuing a warning about this change,
- to encourage you to tell the command what to push out, e.g. by setting
- push.default configuration.
+ locally have. In future versions of Git, this will change to push out
+ only your current branch according to either the "upstream" or the
+ "current" rule. Although "upstream" may be more powerful once the
+ user understands Git better, the semantics "current" gives is
+ simpler and easier to understand for beginners and may be a safer
+ and better default option, but we haven't decided yet.
Updates since v1.7.9
UI, Workflows & Features
+ * various "gitk" updates.
+ - show the path to the top level directory in the window title
+ - update preference edit dialog
+ - display file list correctly when directories are given on command line
+ - make "git-describe" output in the log message into a clickable link
+ - avoid matching the UNIX timestamp part when searching all fields
+ - give preference to symbolic font names like sans & monospace
+ - allow comparing two commits using a mark
+ - "gitk" honors log.showroot configuration.
+
* Teams for localizing the messages from the Porcelain layer of
commands are starting to form, thanks to Jiang Xin who volunteered
- to be the localization coordinator. An initial set of translated
- messages for simplified chinese is available.
+ to be the localization coordinator. Translated messages for
+ simplified Chinese, Swedish and Portuguese are available.
* The configuration mechanism learned an "include" facility; an
assignment to the include.path pseudo-variable causes the named
with versions of Perl older than 5.8.3.
(merge 5eb660e ab/perl-i18n later to maint).
- * "git fast-import" accepted "ls" command with an empty path by
- mistake.
- (merge 178e1de jn/maint-fast-import-empty-ls later to maint).
-
- * The "remaining" subcommand to "git rerere" was not documented.
- (merge 3e7a1df ph/rerere-doc later to maint).
-
* "git tag -s" honored "gpg.program" configuration variable since
1.7.9, but "git tag -v" and "git verify-tag" didn't.
(merge a2c2506 az/verify-tag-use-gpg-config later to maint).
- * When "git config" diagnoses an error in a configuration file and
- shows the line number for the offending line, it miscounted if the
- error was at the end of line.
- (merge 4b34059 ms/maint-config-error-at-eol-linecount later to maint).
-
- * "configure" script learned to take "--sane-tool-path" from the
- command line to record SANE_TOOL_PATH (used to avoid broken
- platform tools in /usr/bin) in config.mak-autogen. This may be useful
- for people on Solaris who have saner tools outside /usr/xpg[46]/bin.
+ * "configure" script learned to take "--with-sane-tool-path" from the
+ command line to record SANE_TOOL_PATH (used to avoid broken platform
+ tools in /usr/bin) in config.mak.autogen. This may be useful for
+ people on Solaris who have saner tools outside /usr/xpg[46]/bin.
* zsh port of bash completion script needed another workaround.
-
- * "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.
