building more generic "sequencer" on top of the implementation that
drives them.
+ * "git rev-parse FETCH_HEAD" after "git fetch" without specifying
+ what to fetch from the command line will now show the commit that
+ would be merged if the command were "git pull".
+
* "git add" learned to stream large files directly into a packfile
instead of writing them into individual loose object files.
* "git commit" detects and rejects an attempt to stuff NUL byte in
the commit log message.
+ * "git commit" learned "-S" to GPG-sign the commit; this can be shown
+ with the "--show-signature" option to "git log".
+
* fsck and prune are relatively lengthy operations that still go
silent while making the end-user wait. They learned to give progress
output like other slow operations.
signed tag is recorded in the resulting merge commit for later
auditing.
+ * "git log" learned "--show-signature" option to show the signed tag
+ that was merged that is embedded in the merge commit. It also can
+ show the signature made on the commit with "git commit -S".
+
* "git branch --edit-description" can be used to add descriptive text
to explain what a topic branch is about.
releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
details).
- * gitweb did not correctly fall back to configured $fallback_encoding
- that is not 'latin1'.
- (merge b13e3ea jn/maint-gitweb-utf8-fix later to maint).
