Although all of the changes in this section -happened before the current v1.4.4 release, they are summarized -here in the v1.5.0 release notes for people who skipped earlier -versions. - -As of git v1.5.0 there are some optional features that changes -the repository to allow data to be stored and transferred more -efficiently. These features are not enabled by default, as they -will make the repository unusable with older versions of git. -Specifically, the available options are: - - - There is a configuration variable core.legacyheaders that - changes the format of loose objects so that they are more - efficient to pack and to send out of the repository over git - native protocol, since v1.4.2. However, loose objects - written in the new format cannot be read by git older than - that version; people fetching from your repository using - older clients over dumb transports (e.g. http) using older - versions of git will also be affected. - - To let git use the new loose object format, you have to - set core.legacyheaders to false. - - - Since v1.4.3, configuration repack.usedeltabaseoffset allows - packfile to be created in more space efficient format, which - cannot be read by git older than that version. - - To let git use the new format for packfiles, you have to - set repack.usedeltabaseoffset to true. - -The above two new features are not enabled by default and you -have to explicitly ask for them, because they make repositories -unreadable by older versions of git, and in v1.5.0 we still do -not enable them by default for the same reason. We will change -this default probably 1 year after 1.4.2's release, when it is -reasonable to expect everybody to have new enough version of -git. - - - 'git pack-refs' appeared in v1.4.4; this command allows tags - to be accessed much more efficiently than the traditional - 'one-file-per-tag' format. Older git-native clients can - still fetch from a repository that packed and pruned refs - (the server side needs to run the up-to-date version of git), - but older dumb transports cannot. Packing of refs is done by - an explicit user action, either by use of "git pack-refs - --prune" command or by use of "git gc" command. - - - 'git -p' to paginate anything -- many commands do pagination - by default on a tty. Introduced between v1.4.1 and v1.4.2; - this may surprise old timers. - - - 'git archive' superseded 'git tar-tree' in v1.4.3; - - - 'git cvsserver' was new invention in v1.3.0; - - - 'git repo-config', 'git grep', 'git rebase' and 'gitk' were - seriously enhanced during v1.4.0 timeperiod. - - - 'gitweb' became part of git.git during v1.4.0 timeperiod and - seriously modified since then. - - - reflog is an v1.4.0 invention. This allows you to name a - revision that a branch used to be at (e.g. "git diff - master@{yesterday} master" allows you to see changes since - yesterday's tip of the branch). - - -Updates in v1.5.0 since v1.4.4 series -------------------------------------- - -* Index manipulation - - - git-add is to add contents to the index (aka "staging area" - for the next commit), whether the file the contents happen to - be is an existing one or a newly created one. - - - git-add without any argument does not add everything - anymore. Use 'git-add .' instead. Also you can add - otherwise ignored files with an -f option. - - - git-add tries to be more friendly to users by offering an - interactive mode ("git-add -i"). - - - git-commit used to refuse to commit if was - different between HEAD and the index (i.e. update-index was - used on it earlier). This check was removed. - - - git-rm is much saner and safer. It is used to remove paths - from both the index file and the working tree, and makes sure - you are not losing any local modification before doing so. - - - git-reset ... can be used to revert index - entries for selected paths. - - - git-update-index is much less visible. Many suggestions to - use the command in git output and documentation have now been - replaced by simpler commands such as "git add" or "git rm". - - -* Repository layout and objects transfer - - - The data for origin repository is stored in the configuration - file $GIT_DIR/config, not in $GIT_DIR/remotes/, for newly - created clones. The latter is still supported and there is - no need to convert your existing repository if you are - already comfortable with your workflow with the layout. - - - git-clone always uses what is known as "separate remote" - layout for a newly created repository with a working tree. - - A repository with the separate remote layout starts with only - one default branch, 'master', to be used for your own - development. Unlike the traditional layout that copied all - the upstream branches into your branch namespace (while - renaming their 'master' to your 'origin'), the new layout - puts upstream branches into local "remote-tracking branches" - with their own namespace. These can be referenced with names - such as "origin/$upstream_branch_name" and are stored in - .git/refs/remotes rather than .git/refs/heads where normal - branches are stored. - - This layout keeps your own branch namespace less cluttered, - avoids name collision with your upstream, makes it possible - to automatically track new branches created at the remote - after you clone from it, and makes it easier to interact with - more than one remote repository (you can use "git remote" to - add other repositories to track). There might be some - surprises: - - * 'git branch' does not show the remote tracking branches. - It only lists your own branches. Use '-r' option to view - the tracking branches. - - * If you are forking off of a branch obtained from the - upstream, you would have done something like 'git branch - my-next next', because traditional layout dropped the - tracking branch 'next' into your own branch namespace. - With the separate remote layout, you say 'git branch next - origin/next', which allows you to use the matching name - 'next' for your own branch. It also allows you to track a - remote other than 'origin' (i.e. where you initially cloned - from) and fork off of a branch from there the same way - (e.g. "git branch mingw j6t/master"). - - Repositories initialized with the traditional layout continue - to work. - - - New branches that appear on the origin side after a clone is - made are also tracked automatically. This is done with an - wildcard refspec "refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*", which - older git does not understand, so if you clone with 1.5.0, - you would need to downgrade remote.*.fetch in the - configuration file to specify each branch you are interested - in individually if you plan to fetch into the repository with - older versions of git (but why would you?). - - - Similarly, wildcard refspec "refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/me/*" - can be given to "git-push" command to update the tracking - branches that is used to track the repository you are pushing - from on the remote side. - - - git-branch and git-show-branch know remote tracking branches - (use the command line switch "-r" to list only tracked branches). - - - git-push can now be used to delete a remote branch or a tag. - This requires the updated git on the remote side (use "git - push :refs/heads/" to delete "branch"). - - - git-push more aggressively keeps the transferred objects - packed. Earlier we recommended to monitor amount of loose - objects and repack regularly, but you should repack when you - accumulated too many small packs this way as well. Updated - git-count-objects helps you with this. - - - git-fetch also more aggressively keeps the transferred objects - packed. This behavior of git-push and git-fetch can be - tweaked with a single configuration transfer.unpacklimit (but - usually there should not be any need for a user to tweak it). - - - A new command, git-remote, can help you manage your remote - tracking branch definitions. - - - You may need to specify explicit paths for upload-pack and/or - receive-pack due to your ssh daemon configuration on the - other end. This can now be done via remote.*.uploadpack and - remote.*.receivepack configuration. - - -* Bare repositories - - - Certain commands change their behavior in a bare repository - (i.e. a repository without associated working tree). We use - a fairly conservative heuristic (if $GIT_DIR is ".git", or - ends with "/.git", the repository is not bare) to decide if a - repository is bare, but "core.bare" configuration variable - can be used to override the heuristic when it misidentifies - your repository. - - - git-fetch used to complain updating the current branch but - this is now allowed for a bare repository. So is the use of - 'git-branch -f' to update the current branch. - - - Porcelain-ish commands that require a working tree refuses to - work in a bare repository. - - -* Reflog - - - Reflog records the history from the view point of the local - repository. In other words, regardless of the real history, - the reflog shows the history as seen by one particular - repository (this enables you to ask "what was the current - revision in _this_ repository, yesterday at 1pm?"). This - facility is enabled by default for repositories with working - trees, and can be accessed with the "branch@{time}" and - "branch@{Nth}" notation. - - - "git show-branch" learned showing the reflog data with the - new -g option. "git log" has -g option to view reflog - entries in a more verbose manner. - - - git-branch knows how to rename branches and moves existing - reflog data from the old branch to the new one. - - - In addition to the reflog support in v1.4.4 series, HEAD - reference maintains its own log. "HEAD@{5.minutes.ago}" - means the commit you were at 5 minutes ago, which takes - branch switching into account. If you want to know where the - tip of your current branch was at 5 minutes ago, you need to - explicitly say its name (e.g. "master@{5.minutes.ago}") or - omit the refname altogether i.e. "@{5.minutes.ago}". - - - The commits referred to by reflog entries are now protected - against pruning. The new command "git reflog expire" can be - used to truncate older reflog entries and entries that refer - to commits that have been pruned away previously with older - versions of git. - - Existing repositories that have been using reflog may get - complaints from fsck-objects and may not be able to run - git-repack, if you had run git-prune from older git; please - run "git reflog expire --stale-fix --all" first to remove - reflog entries that refer to commits that are no longer in - the repository when that happens. - - -* Crufts removal - - - We used to say "old commits are retrievable using reflog and - 'master@{yesterday}' syntax as long as you haven't run - git-prune". We no longer have to say the latter half of the - above sentence, as git-prune does not remove things reachable - from reflog entries. - - - There is a toplevel garbage collector script, 'git-gc', that - runs periodic cleanup functions, including 'git-repack -a -d', - 'git-reflog expire', 'git-pack-refs --prune', and 'git-rerere - gc'. - - - The output from fsck ("fsck-objects" is called just "fsck" - now, but the old name continues to work) was needlessly - alarming in that it warned missing objects that are reachable - only from dangling objects. This has been corrected and the - output is much more useful. - - -* Detached HEAD - - - You can use 'git-checkout' to check out an arbitrary revision - or a tag as well, instead of named branches. This will - dissociate your HEAD from the branch you are currently on. - - A typical use of this feature is to "look around". E.g. - - $ git checkout v2.6.16 - ... compile, test, etc. - $ git checkout v2.6.17 - ... compile, test, etc. - - - After detaching your HEAD, you can go back to an existing - branch with usual "git checkout $branch". Also you can - start a new branch using "git checkout -b $newbranch" to - start a new branch at that commit. - - - You can even pull from other repositories, make merges and - commits while your HEAD is detached. Also you can use "git - reset" to jump to arbitrary commit, while still keeping your - HEAD detached. - - Remember that a detached state is volatile, i.e. it will be forgotten - as soon as you move away from it with the checkout or reset command, - unless a branch is created from it as mentioned above. It is also - possible to rescue a lost detached state from the HEAD reflog. - - -* Packed refs - - - Repositories with hundreds of tags have been paying large - overhead, both in storage and in runtime, due to the - traditional one-ref-per-file format. A new command, - git-pack-refs, can be used to "pack" them in more efficient - representation (you can let git-gc do this for you). - - - Clones and fetches over dumb transports are now aware of - packed refs and can download from repositories that use - them. - - -* Configuration - - - configuration related to color setting are consolidated under - color.* namespace (older diff.color.*, status.color.* are - still supported). - - - 'git-repo-config' command is accessible as 'git-config' now. - - -* Updated features - - - git-describe uses better criteria to pick a base ref. It - used to pick the one with the newest timestamp, but now it - picks the one that is topologically the closest (that is, - among ancestors of commit C, the ref T that has the shortest - output from "git-rev-list T..C" is chosen). - - - git-describe gives the number of commits since the base ref - between the refname and the hash suffix. E.g. the commit one - before v2.6.20-rc6 in the kernel repository is: - - v2.6.20-rc5-306-ga21b069 - - which tells you that its object name begins with a21b069, - v2.6.20-rc5 is an ancestor of it (meaning, the commit - contains everything -rc5 has), and there are 306 commits - since v2.6.20-rc5. - - - git-describe with --abbrev=0 can be used to show only the - name of the base ref. - - - git-blame learned a new option, --incremental, that tells it - to output the blames as they are assigned. A sample script - to use it is also included as contrib/blameview. - - - git-blame starts annotating from the working tree by default. - - -* Less external dependency - - - We no longer require the "merge" program from the RCS suite. - All 3-way file-level merges are now done internally. - - - The original implementation of git-merge-recursive which was - in Python has been removed; we have a C implementation of it - now. - - - git-shortlog is no longer a Perl script. It no longer - requires output piped from git-log; it can accept revision - parameters directly on the command line. - - -* I18n - - - We have always encouraged the commit message to be encoded in - UTF-8, but the users are allowed to use legacy encoding as - appropriate for their projects. This will continue to be the - case.

Currently you can influence if a path is - considered a binary or text (the former would be treated by - 'git diff' not to produce textual output; the latter can go - through the line endings conversion process in repositories - with core.autocrlf set), expand and unexpand '$Id$' keyword - with blob object name, specify a custom 3-way merge driver, - and specify a custom diff driver. You can also apply - arbitrary filter to contents on check-in/check-out codepath - but this feature is an extremely sharp-edged razor and needs - to be handled with caution (do not use it unless you - understand the earlier mailing list discussion on keyword - expansion). These conversions apply when checking files in - or out, and exporting via git-archive. - -* The packfile format now optionally supports 64-bit index. - - This release supports the "version 2" format of the .idx - file.

When - set to true, this makes "git clean" a no-op, preventing you - from losing files by typing "git clean" when you meant to - say "make clean".

This - may be useful for MH users. - - - "git format-patch" learned format.subjectprefix configuration - variable, which serves the same purpose as "--subject-prefix" - option. - - - "git tag -n -l" shows tag annotations while listing tags. - - - "git cvsimport" can optionally use the separate-remote layout. - - - "git blame" can be told to see through commits that change - whitespaces and indentation levels with "-w" option. - - - "git send-email" can be told not to thread the messages when - sending out more than one patches. - - - "git send-email" can also be told how to find whom to cc the - message to for each message via --cc-cmd. - - - "git config" learned NUL terminated output format via -z to - help scripts. - - - "git add" learned "--refresh ..." option to selectively refresh - the cached stat information. - - - "git init -q" makes the command quieter. - - - "git -p command" now has a cousin of opposite sex, "git --no-pager - command". - -* Updated behavior of existing commands. - - - "gitweb" can offer multiple snapshot formats. - - ***NOTE*** Unfortunately, this changes the format of the - $feature{snapshot}{default} entry in the per-site - configuration file 'gitweb_config.perl'. It used to be a - three-element tuple that describe a single format; with the - new configuration item format, you only have to say the name - of the format ('tgz', 'tbz2' or 'zip'). Please update the - your configuration file accordingly. - - - "git clone" uses -l (hardlink files under .git) by default when - cloning locally. - - - URL used for "git clone" and friends can specify nonstandard SSH port - by using ssh://host:port/path/to/repo syntax. - - - "git bundle create" can now create a bundle without negative refs, - i.e. "everything since the beginning up to certain points". - - - "git diff" (but not the plumbing level "git diff-tree") now - recursively descends into trees by default. - - - "git diff" does not show differences that come only from - stat-dirtiness in the form of "diff --git" header anymore. - It runs "update-index --refresh" silently as needed. - - - "git tag -l" used to match tags by globbing its parameter as if it - has wildcard '*' on both ends, which made "git tag -l gui" to match - tag 'gitgui-0.7.0'; this was very annoying. You now have to add - asterisk on the sides you want to wildcard yourself. - - - The editor to use with many interactive commands can be - overridden with GIT_EDITOR environment variable, or if it - does not exist, with core.editor configuration variable. As - before, if you have neither, environment variables VISUAL - and EDITOR are consulted in this order, and then finally we - fall back on "vi". - - - "git rm --cached" does not complain when removing a newly - added file from the index anymore. - - - Options to "git log" to affect how --grep/--author options look for - given strings now have shorter abbreviations. -i is for ignore case, - and -E is for extended regexp. - - - "git log" learned --log-size to show the number of bytes in - the log message part of the output to help qgit. - - - "git log --name-status" does not require you to give "-r" anymore. - As a general rule, Porcelain commands should recurse when showing - diff. - - - "git format-patch --root A" can be used to format everything - since the beginning up to A. This was supported with - "git format-patch --root A A" for a long time, but was not - properly documented. - - - "git svn dcommit" retains local merge information. - - - "git svnimport" allows an empty string to be specified as the - trunk/ directory. This is necessary to suck data from a SVN - repository that doe not have trunk/ branches/ and tags/ organization - at all. - - - "git config" to set values also honors type flags like --bool - and --int. - - - core.quotepath configuration can be used to make textual git - output to emit most of the characters in the path literally. - - - "git mergetool" chooses its backend more wisely, taking - notice of its environment such as use of X, Gnome/KDE, etc. - - - "gitweb" shows merge commits a lot nicer than before. The - default view uses more compact --cc format, while the UI - allows to choose normal diff with any parent. - - - snapshot files "gitweb" creates from a repository at - $path/$project/.git are more useful. We use $project part - in the filename, which we used to discard. - - - "git cvsimport" creates lightweight tags; there is no - interesting information we can record in an annotated tag, - and the handcrafted ones the old code created was not - properly formed anyway. - - - "git push" pretends that you immediately fetched back from - the remote by updating corresponding remote tracking - branches if you have any. - - - The diffstat given after a merge (or a pull) honors the - color.diff configuration. - - - "git commit --amend" is now compatible with various message source - options such as -m/-C/-c/-F. - - - "git apply --whitespace=strip" removes blank lines added at - the end of the file. - - - "git fetch" over git native protocols with "-v" option shows - connection status, and the IP address of the other end, to - help diagnosing problems. - - - We used to have core.legacyheaders configuration, when - set to false, allowed git to write loose objects in a format - that mimics the format used by objects stored in packs. It - turns out that this was not so useful. Although we will - continue to read objects written in that format, we do not - honor that configuration anymore and create loose objects in - the legacy/traditional format. - - - "--find-copies-harder" option to diff family can now be - spelled as "-C -C" for brevity. - - - "git mailsplit" (hence "git am") can read from Maildir - formatted mailboxes. - - - "git cvsserver" does not barf upon seeing "cvs login" - request. - - - "pack-objects" honors "delta" attribute set in - .gitattributes. It does not attempt to deltify blobs that - come from paths with delta attribute set to false. - - - "new-workdir" script (in contrib) can now be used with a - bare repository. - - - "git mergetool" learned to use gvimdiff. - - - "gitview" (in contrib) has a better blame interface. - - - "git log" and friends did not handle a commit log message - that is larger than 16kB; they do now. - - - "--pretty=oneline" output format for "git log" and friends - deals with "malformed" commit log messages that have more - than one lines in the first paragraph better. We used to - show the first line, cutting the title at mid-sentence; we - concatenate them into a single line and treat the result as - "oneline". - - - "git p4import" has been demoted to contrib status. For - a superior option, checkout the "git p4" front end to - "git fast-import" (also in contrib). The man page and p4 - rpm have been removed as well. - - - "git mailinfo" (hence "am") now tries to see if the message - is in utf-8 first, instead of assuming iso-8859-1, if - incoming e-mail does not say what encoding it is in. - -* Builds - - - old-style function definitions (most notably, a function - without parameter defined with "func()", not "func(void)") - have been eradicated. - - - "git tag" and "git verify-tag" have been rewritten in C. - -* Performance Tweaks - - - "git pack-objects" avoids re-deltification cost by caching - small enough delta results it creates while looking for the - best delta candidates. - - - "git pack-objects" learned a new heuristic to prefer delta - that is shallower in depth over the smallest delta - possible. This improves both overall packfile access - performance and packfile density. - - - diff-delta code that is used for packing has been improved - to work better on big files. - - - when there are more than one pack files in the repository, - the runtime used to try finding an object always from the - newest packfile; it now tries the same packfile as we found - the object requested the last time, which exploits the - locality of references. - - - verifying pack contents done by "git fsck --full" got boost - by carefully choosing the order to verify objects in them. - - - "git read-tree -m" to read into an already populated index - has been optimized vastly. The effect of this can be seen - when switching branches that have differences in only a - handful paths. - - - "git add paths..." and "git commit paths..." has also been - heavily optimized. - -Fixes since v1.5.2 ------------------- - -All of the fixes in v1.5.2 maintenance series are included in -this release, unless otherwise noted. - -* Bugfixes - - - "gitweb" had trouble handling non UTF-8 text with older - Encode.pm Perl module. - - - "git svn" misparsed the data from the commits in the repository when - the user had "color.diff = true" in the configuration.

This is to push the local refs - one-to-one to the remote, and deletes refs from the remote that do - not exist anymore in the repository on the pushing side. - - * "git push" can remove a corrupt ref at the remote site with the usual - ":ref" refspec. - - * "git remote" knows --mirror mode. This is to set up configuration to - push into a remote repository to store local branch heads to the same - branch on the remote side, and remove branch heads locally removed - from local repository at the same time. Suitable for pushing into a - back-up repository. - - * "git remote" learned "rm" subcommand. - - * "git cvsserver" can be run via "git shell". Also, "cvs" is - recognized as a synonym for "git cvsserver", so that CVS users - can be switched to git just by changing their login shell. - - * "git cvsserver" acts more like receive-pack by running post-receive - and post-update hooks. - - * "git am" and "git rebase" are far less verbose. - - * "git pull" learned to pass --[no-]ff option to underlying "git - merge". - - * "git pull --rebase" is a different way to integrate what you fetched - into your current branch. - - * "git fast-export" produces data-stream that can be fed to fast-import - to reproduce the history recorded in a git repository. - - * "git add -i" takes pathspecs to limit the set of files to work on. - - * "git add -p" is a short-hand to go directly to the selective patch - subcommand in the interactive command loop and to exit when done. - - * "git add -i" UI has been colorized. The interactive prompt - and menu can be colored by setting color.interactive - configuration. The diff output (including the hunk picker) - are colored with color.diff configuration. - - * "git commit --allow-empty" allows you to create a single-parent - commit that records the same tree as its parent, overriding the usual - safety valve. - - * "git commit --amend" can amend a merge that does not change the tree - from its first parent. - - * "git commit" used to unconditionally strip comment lines that - began with '#' and removed excess blank lines. This behavior has - been made configurable. - - * "git commit" has been rewritten in C. - - * "git stash random-text" does not create a new stash anymore. It was - a UI mistake. Use "git stash save random-text", or "git stash" - (without extra args) for that. - - * "git stash clear extra-text" does not clear the whole stash - anymore. It is tempting to expect "git stash clear stash@{2}" - to drop only a single named stash entry, and it is rude to - discard everything when that is asked (but not provided). - - * "git prune --expire
