* "git svnimport" was removed in favor of "git svn". It is still there
in the source tree (contrib/examples) but unsupported.
+ * As git-commit and git-status have been rewritten, "git runstatus"
+ helper script lost all its users and has been removed.
+
Deprecation notices
-------------------
* "git peek-remote" is deprecated, as "git ls-remote" was written in C
and works for all transports, and will be removed in the future.
+ * From v1.5.5, the repack.usedeltabaseoffset config option will default
+ to true, which will give denser packfile (i.e. more efficient storage).
+ The downside is that git older than version 1.4.4 will not be able
+ to directly use a repository packed using this setting.
+
+ * From v1.5.5, the pack.indexversion config option will default to 2,
+ which is slightly more efficient, and makes repacking more immune to
+ data corruptions. Git older than version 1.5.2 may revert to version 1
+ of the pack index with a manual "git index-pack" to be able to directly
+ access corresponding pack files.
+
Updates since v1.5.3
--------------------
between svn and git; a new representation that is much more compact
for this information has been introduced to correct this.
+ * "git svn" left temporary index files it used without cleaning them
+ up; this was corrected.
+
* "git status" from a subdirectory now shows relative paths, which
makes copy-and-pasting for git-checkout/git-add/git-rm easier. The
traditional behaviour to show the full path relative to the top of
These fixes are only in v1.5.4 and not backported to v1.5.3 maintenance
series.
+ * The way "git diff --check" behaves is much more consistent with the way
+ "git apply --whitespace=warn" works.
+
* "git svn" talking with the SVN over http will correctly quote branch
and project names.
