| * | Be marginally more careful about removing objects | Linus Torvalds | 2005-10-28 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The git philosophy when it comes to disk accesses is "Laugh in the face of danger". Notably, since we never modify an existing object, we don't really care that deeply about flushing things to disk, since even if the machine crashes in the middle of a git operation, you can never really have lost any old work. At most, you'd need to figure out the proper heads (which git-fsck-objects can do for you) and re-do the operation. However, there's two exceptions to this: pruning and repacking. Those operations will actually _delete_ old objects that they know about in other ways (ie that they just repacked, or that they have found in other places). However, since they actually modify old state, we should thus be a bit more careful about them. If the machine crashes and the duplicate new objects haven't been flushed to disk, you can actually be in trouble. This is trivially stupid about it by calling "sync" before removing the objects. Not very smart, but we're talking about special operations than are usually done once a week if that.

| * | Create object subdirectories on demand (phase II) | Linus Torvalds | 2005-10-28 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes the unoptimization. The previous round does not mind missing fan-out directories, but still makes sure they exist, lest older versions choke on a repository created/packed by it. This round does not play that nicely anymore -- empty fan-out directories are not created by init-db, and will stay removed by prune-packed. The prune command also removes empty fan-out directories.

| * | Big tool rename. | Junio C Hamano | 2005-09-07 |
| As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.
