* Comes with much improved gitk.
+ * Comes with git-gui 0.9.0 with i18n.
+
+ * git-lost-found was deprecated in favor of git-fsck's --lost-found
+ option.
+
+ * git-peek-remote is deprecated, as git-ls-remote was written in C and
+ works for all transports.
+
* "progress display" from many commands are a lot nicer to the
eye. Transfer commands show throughput data.
* git-rebase learned --whitespace option.
+ * In git-rebase, when you decide not to replay a particular change
+ after the command stopped with a conflict, you can say "git-rebase
+ --skip" without first running "git reset --hard", as the command now
+ runs it for you.
+
* git-remote knows --mirror mode.
* git-merge can call the "post-merge" hook.
(read: safer than the usual one) after the user accumulates
too many loose objects.
+ * You need to explicitly set clean.requireForce to "false" to allow
+ git-clean without -f to do any damage (lack of the configuration
+ variable used to mean "do not require", but we now use the safer
+ default).
+
+ * git-clean has been rewritten in C.
+
* git-push has been rewritten in C.
* git-push learned --dry-run option to show what would happen
if a push is run.
+ * git-push does not update a tracking ref on the pushing side when the
+ remote refused to update the corresponding ref.
+
+ * git-push learned --mirror option. 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-remote learned "rm" subcommand.
* git-rebase --interactive mode can now work on detached HEAD.
* Various Perforce importer updates.
- * git-lost-found was deprecated in favor of git-fsck's --lost-found
- option.
+ * "git log" learned --early-output option to help interactive
+ GUI implementations.
* git-svnimport was removed in favor of git-svn.
* git-bisect learned "skip" action to mark untestable commits.
- * rename detection diff family, while detecting exact matches,
+ * git-format-patch learned "format.numbered" configuration variable
+ to automatically turn --numbered option on when more than one
+ commits are formatted.
+
+ * git-ls-files learned "--exclude-standard" to use the canned
+ set of exclude files.
+
+ * git-rebase now detaches head during its operation, so after a
+ successful "git rebase" operation, the reflog entry branch@{1}
+ for the current branch points at the commit before the rebase
+ was started.
+
+ * "git-tag -a -f existing" begins the editor session using the
+ existing annotation message.
+
+ * "git cvsexportcommit" learned -w option to specify and switch
+ to the CVS working directory.
+
+ * "git checkout" from a subdirectory learned to use "../path"
+ to allow checking out a path outside the current directory
+ without cd'ing up.
+
+ * "git send-email --dry-run" shows full headers for easier
+ diagnosis.
+
+ * "git merge-ours" is built-in.
+
+ * "git svn" learned "info" subcommand.
+
+ * "git status" from a subdirectory now shows relative paths
+ which makes copy-and-pasting for git-checkout/git-add/git-rm
+ easier.
+
+ * Output processing for '--pretty=format:<user format>' has
+ been optimized.
+
+ * Rename detection diff family, while detecting exact matches,
has been greatly optimized.
* Example update and post-receive hooks have been improved.
All of the fixes in v1.5.3 maintenance series are included in
this release, unless otherwise noted.
+ * git-svn talking with the SVN over http will correctly quote branch
+ and project names.
+
+ * "git rev-list --objects A..B" choked when the lower boundary
+ of the range involved a subproject. This fix is also queued
+ for 'maint' (but not in there yet).
