1Git 2.17 Release Notes 2====================== 3 4Updates since v2.16 5------------------- 6 7UI, Workflows & Features 8 9 * "diff" family of commands learned "--find-object=<object-id>" option 10 to limit the findings to changes that involve the named object. 11 (merge 4d8c51aa19 sb/diff-blobfind-pickaxe later to maint). 12 13 14Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. 15 16 * More perf tests for threaded grep 17 (merge 7b31b55db1 ab/perf-grep-threads later to maint). 18 19 * "perf" test output can be sent to codespeed server. 20 (merge 19cf57a92e cc/codespeed later to maint). 21 22 23Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. 24 25 26Fixes since v2.16 27----------------- 28 29 * An old regression in "git describe --all $annotated_tag^0" has been 30 fixed. 31 (merge 1bba00130a dk/describe-all-output-fix later to maint). 32 33 * "git status" after moving a path in the working tree (hence making 34 it appear "removed") and then adding with the -N option (hence 35 making that appear "added") detected it as a rename, but did not 36 report the old and new pathnames correctly. 37 (merge 176ea74793 nd/ita-wt-renames-in-status later to maint). 38 39 * "git svn dcommit" did not take into account the fact that a 40 svn+ssh:// URL with a username@ (typically used for pushing) refers 41 to the same SVN repository without the username@ and failed when 42 svn.pushmergeinfo option is set. 43 (merge 8aaed892fd jm/svn-pushmergeinfo-fix later to maint). 44 45 * API clean-up around revision traversal. 46 (merge 6fcec2f9ae rs/lose-leak-pending later to maint). 47 48 * "git merge -Xours/-Xtheirs" learned to use our/their version when 49 resolving a conflicting updates to a symbolic link. 50 (merge fd48b46474 jc/merge-symlink-ours-theirs later to maint). 51 52 * "git clone $there $here" is allowed even when here directory exists 53 as long as it is an empty directory, but the command incorrectly 54 removed it upon a failure of the operation. 55 (merge d45420c1c8 jk/abort-clone-with-existing-dest later to maint). 56 57 * "git commit --fixup" did not allow "-m<message>" option to be used 58 at the same time; allow it to annotate resulting commit with more 59 text. 60 (merge 30884c9afc ab/commit-m-with-fixup later to maint). 61 62 * When resetting the working tree files recursively, the working tree 63 of submodules are now also reset to match. 64 (merge 7dcc1f4df8 sb/submodule-update-reset-fix later to maint). 65 66 * "git stash -- <pathspec>" incorrectly blew away untracked files in 67 the directory that matched the pathspec, which has been corrected. 68 (merge bba067d2fa tg/stash-with-pathspec-fix later to maint). 69 70 * Instead of maintaining home-grown email address parsing code, ship 71 a copy of reasonably recent Mail::Address to be used as a fallback 72 in 'git send-email' when the platform lacks it. 73 (merge d60be8acab mm/send-email-fallback-to-local-mail-address later to maint). 74 75 * "git add -p" was taught to ignore local changes to submodules as 76 they do not interfere with the partial addition of regular changes 77 anyway. 78 (merge 12434efc1d nd/add-i-ignore-submodules later to maint). 79 80 * Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups. 81 (merge e2a5a028c7 bw/oidmap-autoinit later to maint). 82 (merge f0a6068a9f ys/bisect-object-id-missing-conversion-fix later to maint). 83 (merge 30221a3389 as/read-tree-prefix-doc-fix later to maint). 84 (merge 9bd2ce5432 ab/doc-cat-file-e-still-shows-errors later to maint).
