Git v1.7.10 Release Notes
=========================
Updates since v1.7.9
--------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* Improved handling of views, labels and branches in git-p4 (in contrib).
* "git-p4" (in contrib) suffered from unnecessary merge conflicts when
p4 expanded the embedded $RCS$-like keywords; it can be now told to
unexpand them.
* Some "git-svn" updates.
* "vcs-svn"/"svn-fe" learned to read dumps with svn-deltas and
support incremental imports.
* The configuration mechanism learned an "include" facility; an
assignment to the include.path pseudo-variable causes the named
file to be included in-place when Git looks up configuration
variables.
* "git am" learned to pass "-b" option to underlying "git mailinfo", so
that bracketed string other than "PATCH" at the beginning can be kept.
* "git clone" learned "--single-branch" option to limit cloning to a
single branch (surprise!).
* "git clone" learned to detach the HEAD in the resulting repository
when the source repository's HEAD does not point to a branch.
* When showing a patch while ignoring whitespace changes, the context
lines are taken from the postimage, in order to make it easier to
view the output.
* "diff-highlight" filter (in contrib/) was updated to produce more
aesthetically pleasing output.
* "git tag --list" can be given "--points-at <object>" to limit its
output to those that point at the given object.
* "git merge" in an interactive session learned to spawn the editor
by default to let the user edit the auto-generated merge message,
to encourage people to explain their merges better. Legacy scripts
can export MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no to retain the historical behaviour.
Both "git merge" and "git pull" can be given --no-edit from the
command line to accept the auto-generated merge message.
* "gitweb" allows intermediate entries in the directory hierarchy
that leads to a projects to be clicked, which in turn shows the
list of projects inside that directory.
Performance
* During "git upload-pack" in respose to "git fetch", unnecessary calls
to parse_object() have been eliminated, to help performance in
repositories with excessive number of refs.
Internal Implementation (please report possible regressions)
* Recursive call chains in "git index-pack" to deal with long delta
chains have been flattened, to reduce the stack footprint.
* Use of add_extra_ref() API is now gone, to make it possible to
cleanly restructure the overall refs API.
* The command line parser of "git pack-objects" now uses parse-options
API.
* The test suite supports the new "test_pause" helper function.
* Parallel to the test suite, there is a beginning of performance
benchmarking framework.
* t/Makefile is adjusted to prevent newer versions of GNU make from
running tests in seemingly random order.
Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
Fixes since v1.7.9
------------------
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.7.9 in the maintenance
releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
details).
* "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.
