1Git v1.7.9 Release Notes (draft) 2======================== 3 4Updates since v1.7.8 5-------------------- 6 7 * Porcelain commands like "git reset" did not distinguish deletions 8 and type-changes from ordinary modification, and reported them with 9 the same 'M' moniker. They now use 'D' (for deletion) and 'T' (for 10 type-change) to match "git status -s" and "git diff --name-status". 11 12 * fsck and prune are relatively lengthy operations that still go 13 silent while making the end-user wait. They learned to give progress 14 output like other slow operations. 15 16 * The set of built-in function-header patterns for various languages 17 knows MATLAB. 18 19May also contain documentation updates and code clean-ups. 20 21 22Fixes since v1.7.8 23------------------ 24 25 * In some codepaths (notably, checkout and merge), the ignore patterns 26 recorded in $GIT_DIR/info/exclude were not honored. They now are. 27 (merge fc001b5 nd/maint-ignore-exclude later to maint).
