[ This is sent to the kernel list as well, because I suspect
Eric's quiltimport matches the audience there and it deserves
a bit more exposure. "What's in git.git" is sometimes more
important and significant than [ANNOUNCE] messages, and this
is such a time. ]
* The 'maint' branch has these fixes since the last announcement.
Elrond:
git-cvsimport: Handle "Removed" from pserver
Fredrik Kuivinen:
Update the documentation for git-merge-base
Junio C Hamano:
merge-base: Clarify the comments on post processing.
* The 'master' branch has these since the last announcement, in
addition to the above.
- git-quiltimport (Eric W. Biederman)
This will probably see more enhancements over time taking
inputs from real quilt users.
- use config file to store remotes information (Johannes Schindelin)
- pack-objects further 15% improvements (Nicolas Pitre)
- "diff --check" (Johannes Schindelin)
- "git apply --cached"
- read-tree -m -u: do not overwrite or remove untracked working tree files.
- more built-in commands (Linus, Lukas, Timo and me)
- commit: allow --pretty= args to be abbreviated (Eric Wong)
- Other minor fixes to "git apply", "git diff".
- many cleanups from Sean Estabrooks, Shawn Pearce,
Remove unnecessary local in get_ref_sha1.
Reference git-check-ref-format in git-branch.
Elaborate on why ':' is a bad idea in a ref name.
Also Tilman Sauerbeck twisted my arm sufficiently enough that
I incorporated some of what I use to generate html/man pages
automatically every time I update "master" in the main
Makefile; so if I do not forget to update my release script,
there will be html/man documentation tarballs next to the
usual source tarball release when 1.4.0 release is done.
* The 'next' branch, in addition, has these.
- built-in "git add/rm" (Linus)
Will merge to "master" shortly, unless somebody finds
breakage soon enough.
- built-in "git format-patch" (Johannes Schindelin)
Will merge to "master" shortly, unless somebody finds
breakage soon enough.
- "git tar-tree --remote"
This change itself is low-impact and while it is not a
substitute for true shallow/lazy clone people may find it
useful in other scenarios. I dunno.
- cache-tree with read-tree/write-tree --prefix
I haven't made any progress on this one, but haven't been
bitten by it either, so it is a good sign.
* The 'pu' branch, in addition, has these.
