As promised, 1.4.X series will be managed slightly differently, and this is in preparation of the first installment of it. The releases will come from the "master" branch to contain both fixes and enhancements from now on. Hotfix releases when necessary would have 1.4.X.Y revision numbers, but I am hoping that we do not have to do that very often. Since all the exciting and potentially risky developments are to happen on the "next" branch and they are supposed to graduate to "master" branch after they are reasonably well cooked, this change will help the end-users to stay reasonably current without hopefully not introducing unexpected problems. The older scheme left out all the enhancements if people followed packaged versions, and gave big surprises when upgrading from version X.Y.Z to X.(Y+1).0 which was not so nice. Notable improvements since v1.4.0 are: - PPC SHA1 routine can grok more than half-gig of data (Paul Mackerras) - rev-list and object-layer in general is less (much less) space hungry (Linus). - the source is more friendly to stricter compilers such as Sun's (Florian Forster). - git rebase --merge (Eric Wong). This uses the usual 3-way merge machinery while running rebase, and you can rebase across renames if you use the recursive strategy which is the default. - gitweb updates -- mostly cleanups (Jakub Narebski with help from Pasky and Timo Hirvonen). - diff --color (Johannes). - ~/.gitconfig and $ENV{GIT_CONFIG} (Pasky and Johannes). - core.sharedrepository can take umask, group or world (Linus and I) - "git checkout -f" removes files that becomes untracked from the working tree - "git clone/fetch" from a corrupt repository does not propagate brokenness to the downloaders. - "git clone/fetch" over the network gives better progress updates; this may also help TCP timeout problems for people behind NAT. - Many more commands are built-in (Lukas Sandstr=F6m) - git can now be used on Kiritimati (Paul Eggert) ---------------------------------------------------------------- * The 'master' branch has these since the last announcement. Andre Noll: object-refs: avoid division by zero David Woodhouse: Log peer address when git-daemon called from inetd Dennis Stosberg: Make t8001-annotate and t8002-blame more portable Fix t8001-annotate and t8002-blame for ActiveState Perl Eric W. Biederman: Fix git-format-patch -s Check and document the options to prevent mistakes. Eric Wong: git-svn: fix --rmdir when using SVN:: libraries rebase: Allow merge strategies to be used when rebasing rebase: error out for NO_PYTHON if they use recursive merge git-svn: fix commit --edit flag when using SVN:: libraries Florian Forster: Remove ranges from switch statements. Initialize FAMs using `FLEX_ARRAY'. Don't instantiate structures with FAMs. Cast pointers to `void *' when used in a format. Don't use empty structure initializers. Change types used in bitfields to be `int's. Remove all void-pointer arithmetic.

Fix setting config variables with an alternative GIT_CONFIG Read configuration also from $HOME/.gitconfig repo-config: Fix late-night bug git_config: access() returns 0 on success, not > 0 Junio C Hamano: read-tree: --prefix=3D/ option. write-tree: --prefix=3D read-tree: reorganize bind_merge code. fetch-pack: give up after getting too many "ack continue" shared repository: optionally allow reading to "others". fix rfc2047 formatter. xdiff: minor changes to match libxdiff-0.21 Restore SIGCHLD to SIG_DFL where we care about waitpid(). checkout -f: do not leave untracked working tree files. upload-pack: avoid sending an incomplete pack upon failure upload-pack: prepare for sideband message support. Retire git-clone-pack upload-pack/fetch-pack: support side-band communication Add renaming-rebase test. daemon: send stderr to /dev/null instead of closing. rebase --merge: fix for rebasing more than 7 commits.
