UI, Workflows & Features
+ * various "gitk" updates.
+ - show the path to the top level directory in the window title
+ - update preference edit dialog
+ - display file list correctly when directories are given on command line
+ - make "git-describe" output in the log message into a clickable link
+ - avoid matching the UNIX timestamp part when searching all fields
+ - give preference to symbolic font names like sans & monospace
+ - allow comparing two commits using a mark
+ - "gitk" honors log.showroot configuration.
+
* Teams for localizing the messages from the Porcelain layer of
commands are starting to form, thanks to Jiang Xin who volunteered
- to be the localization coordinator. An initial set of translated
- messages for simplified chinese is available.

* The configuration mechanism learned an "include" facility; an
assignment to the include.path pseudo-variable causes the named
with versions of Perl older than 5.8.3.
(merge 5eb660e ab/perl-i18n later to maint).
- * "git fast-import" accepted "ls" command with an empty path by
- mistake.
- (merge 178e1de jn/maint-fast-import-empty-ls later to maint).
-
- * The "remaining" subcommand to "git rerere" was not documented.
- (merge 3e7a1df ph/rerere-doc later to maint).
-
* "git tag -s" honored "gpg.program" configuration variable since
1.7.9, but "git tag -v" and "git verify-tag" didn't.
(merge a2c2506 az/verify-tag-use-gpg-config later to maint).
- * When "git config" diagnoses an error in a configuration file and
- shows the line number for the offending line, it miscounted if the
- error was at the end of line.
- (merge 4b34059 ms/maint-config-error-at-eol-linecount later to maint).
-
- * "configure" script learned to take "--sane-tool-path" from the
- command line to record SANE_TOOL_PATH (used to avoid broken
- platform tools in /usr/bin) in config.mak-autogen. This may be useful
- for people on Solaris who have saner tools outside /usr/xpg[46]/bin.
+ * "configure" script learned to take "--with-sane-tool-path" from the
+ command line to record SANE_TOOL_PATH (used to avoid broken platform
+ tools in /usr/bin) in config.mak.autogen. This may be useful for
+ people on Solaris who have saner tools outside /usr/xpg[46]/bin.
* zsh port of bash completion script needed another workaround.
-
- * "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.
