[ANNOUNCE] Stacked GIT 0.9

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Stacked GIT 0.9 release is available from http://www.procode.org/stgit/

StGIT is a Python application providing similar functionality to Quilt
(i.e. pushing/popping patches to/from a stack) on top of GIT. These
operations are performed using GIT commands and the patches are stored
as GIT commit objects, allowing easy merging of the StGIT patches into
other repositories using standard GIT functionality.

The main features in this release:

  # Faster three-way merge by using 'git-read-tree --aggressive' and
    dealing with conflicts internally (gitmergeonefile.py removed)
  # StGIT repositories are now 'git prune'-safe
  # 'show' command for displaying a given patch
  # 'uncommit' command for reversing the effects of 'commit'
  # '--series' option added to the 'import' command
  # '--merged' option added to the 'push' and 'pull' commands to check
    for patches merged upstream
  # '--undo' option added to 'refresh'
  # Patch refreshing can be done for individual files only
  # '--stdout' option added to 'export'
  # '--mbox' option added to 'mail'
  # 'smtpdelay' configuration option for delays between messages sending
  # $PAGER or the 'pager' configuration option used for the 'show' and
    'diff' commands
  # '--force' option removed from the 'new' command
  # Bug fixes
