Earlier it only said "Bin". + + - "git lost-found" shows stuff that are unreachable except + from reflogs. + + - "git checkout branch^0" now detaches HEAD at the tip commit + on the named branch, instead of just switching to the + branch (use "git checkout branch" to switch to the branch, + as before). + + - "git bisect next" can be used after giving only a bad commit + without giving a good one (this starts bisection half-way to + the root commit). We used to refuse to operate without a + good and a bad commit. + +* Builds + + - git-p4import has never been installed; now there is an + installation option to do so. + + - gitk and git-gui can be configured out. + + - Generated documentation pages automatically get version + information from GIT_VERSION + + - Parallel build with "make -j" descending into subdirectory + was fixed. + +* Performance Tweaks + + - optimized "git-rev-list --bisect" (hence "git-bisect"). + + - optimized "git-add $path" in a large directory, most of + whose contents are ignored. + + +Fixes since v1.5.1 +------------------ + +The following are all in v1.5.1.x series, unless otherwise noted. + +* Documentation updates + +* Bugfixes + + - Switching branches with "git checkout" refused to work when + a path changes from a file to a directory between the + current branch and the new branch, in order not to lose + possible local changes in the directory that is being turned + into a file with the switch. We now allow such a branch + switch after making sure that there is no locally modified + file nor un-ignored file in the directory. This has not + been backported to 1.5.1.x series, as it is rather an + intrusive change. + +* Performance Tweaks + +-- +exec >/var/tmp/1 +O=v1.5.1-91-g640ee0d +echo O=`git describe refs/heads/master` +git shortlog --no-merges $O..refs/heads/master ^refs/heads/maint diff --git a/RelNotes b/RelNotes index d5e055de6..c543b1d1e 120000 --- a/RelNotes +++ b/RelNotes @@ -1 +1 @@ -Documentation/RelNotes-1.5.1.txt \ No newline at end of file +Documentation/RelNotes-1.5.2.txt \ No newline at end of file
