The command learned to take 'local' + as an instruction to use the local timezone with other formats, + + * The refs used during a "git bisect" session is now per-worktree so + that independent bisect sessions can be done in different worktrees + created with "git worktree add". + + * Users who are too busy to type three extra keystrokes to ask for + "git stash show -p" can now set stash.showPatch configuration + varible to true to always see the actual patch, not just the list + of paths affected with feel for the extent of damage via diffstat. + + * "quiltimport" allows to specify the series file by honoring the + $QUILT_SERIES environment and also --series command line option. + + * The use of 'good/bad' in "git bisect" made it confusing to use when + hunting for a state change that is not a regression (e.g. bugfix). + The command learned 'old/new' and then allows the end user to + say e.g. "bisect start --term-old=fast --term=new=slow" to find a + performance regression. + + * "git interpret-trailers" can now run outside of a Git repository. + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. + + * The infrastructure to rewrite "git submodule" in C is being built + incrementally. Let's polish these early parts well enough and make + them graduate to 'next' and 'master', so that the more involved + follow-up can start cooking on a solid ground. + + * Some features from "git tag -l" and "git branch -l" have been made + available to "git for-each-ref" so that eventually the unified + implementation can be shared across all three. + + * Because "test_when_finished" in our test framework queues the + clean-up tasks to be done in a shell variable, it should not be + used inside a subshell. Add a mechanism to allow 'bash' to catch + such uses, and fix the ones that were found. + (merge 0968f12 jk/test-lint-forbid-when-finished-in-subshell later to maint). + + * The debugging infrastructure for pkt-line based communication has + been improved to mark the side-band communication specifically. + (merge fd89433 jk/async-pkt-line later to maint). + + +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. + + +Fixes since v2.6 +---------------- + +Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.6 in the maintenance +track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' +notes for details). + + * Very small number of options take a parameter that is optional + (which is not a great UI element as they can only appear at the end + of the command line). Add notice to documentation of each and + every one of them. + (merge 2b594bf mm/keyid-docs later to maint). + + * "git blame --first-parent v1.0..v2.0" was not rejected but did not + limit the blame to commits on the first parent chain. + (merge 95a4fb0 jk/blame-first-parent later to maint). + + * "git subtree" (in contrib/) now can take whitespaces in the + pathnames, not only in the in-tree pathname but the name of the + directory that the repository is in. (merge 5b6ab38 + as/subtree-with-spaces later to maint). + + * The ssh transport, just like any other transport over the network, + did not clear GIT_* environment variables, but it is possible to + use SendEnv and AcceptEnv to leak them to the remote invocation of + Git, which is not a good idea at all. Explicitly clear them just + like we do for the local transport. + (merge a48b409 jk/connect-clear-env later to maint). + + * Correct "git p4 --detect-labels" so that it does not fail to create + a tag that points at a commit that is also being imported. + (merge b43702a ld/p4-import-labels later to maint). + + * The Makefile always runs the library archiver with hardcoded "crs" + options, which was inconvenient for exotic platforms on which + people want to use programs with totally different set of command + line options. + (merge ac179b4 jw/make-arflags-customizable later to maint). + + * Customization to change the behaviour with "make -w" and "make -s" + in our Makefile was broken when they were used together. + (merge ef49e05 jk/make-findstring-makeflags-fix later to maint). + + * Code clean-up and minor fixes. + (merge 15ed07d jc/rerere later to maint). diff --git a/GIT-VERSION-GEN b/GIT-VERSION-GEN index 97f58d1db..94e40c400 100755 --- a/GIT-VERSION-GEN +++ b/GIT-VERSION-GEN @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ #!/bin/sh GVF=GIT-VERSION-FILE -DEF_VER=v2.6.0 +DEF_VER=v2.6.0.GIT LF=' ' diff --git a/RelNotes b/RelNotes index def6ebd43..3ba13ce25 120000 --- a/RelNotes +++ b/RelNotes @@ -1 +1 @@ -Documentation/RelNotes/2.6.1.txt \ No newline at end of file +Documentation/RelNotes/2.7.0.txt \ No newline at end of file
