People who have been following the 'next' branch during 1.6.2 rc period may already know these, but here is how the tip of 'master' looks like as of tonight (an excerpt from the draft release notes to 1.6.3). Updates since v1.6.2 so far --------------------------- (usability, bells and whistles) * "--pretty=<style>" option to the log family of commands can now be spelled as "--format=<style>". In addition, --format=%formatstring is a short-hand for --pretty=tformat:%formatstring. * "--oneline" is a synonym for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev=commit". * If you realize that you botched the patch when you are editing hunks with the 'edit' action in git-add -i/-p, you can abort the editor to tell git not to apply it. * git-archive learned --output=<file> option. * git-bisect shows not just the number of remaining commits whose goodness is unknown, but also shows the estimated number of remaining rounds. * git-branch -r shows HEAD symref that points at a remote branch in interest of each tracked remote repository. * git-config learned -e option to open an editor to edit the config file directly. * git-format-patch can be told to use attachment with a new configuration, format.attach. * git-imap-send learned to work around Thunderbird's inability to easily disable format=flowed with a new configuration, imap.preformattedHTML. * git-rebase can be told to rebase the series even if your branch is a descendant of the commit you are rebasing onto with --force-rebase option. * git-send-email learned --confirm option to review the Cc: list before sending the messages out. (developers) * Test scripts can be run under valgrind. Fixes since v1.6.2 so far ------------------------- All of the fixes in v1.6.2.X maintenance series are included in this release, unless otherwise noted. Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to v1.6.2.X series. * .gitignore learned to handle backslash as a quoting mechanism for comment introduction character "#" (backport by merging dd482ee if needed). * timestamp output in --date=relative mode used to display timestamps that are long time ago in the default mode; it now uses "N years M months ago", and "N years ago" (backport by picking 10edf37 if needed). * git-add -i/-p now works with non-ASCII pathnames (backport by picking 8851f48 if needed). * "git hash-object -w" did not read from the configuration file from the correct .git directory (backport by merging 272459a if needed). * git-send-email learned to correctly handle multiple Cc: addresses (backport by merging afe756c if needed). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
