Now 1.1.4 is out, here is a summary of what are not there but
already merged to the "master" branch (i.e. 1.2.0 material).
Build and Environment issues:
Makefile: add 'strip' target
Fix the installation location.
Allow building of RPM from interim snapshot.
Exec git programs without using PATH (Michal Ostrowski).
Disable USE_SYMLINK_HEAD by default (Pavel Roskin)
CVS:
git-cvsimport: Add -A <author-conv-file> option (Andreas).
cvsimport: ease migration from CVSROOT/users format
Pushes and Pulls:
git-push: avoid falling back on pushing "matching" refs.
git-push: fix --tags and document it.
clone: --naked option.
Add --keep option to keep downloaded packs to git-fetch (Tom Prince).
Fix generation of "humanish" part of source repo (Uwe Zeisberger)
Usability Enhancements:
git-describe: default to HEAD
Documentation: show-branch.
show-branch: make the current branch and merge commits stand out.
show-branch: --current includes the current branch.
show-branch: take default arguments from configuration file.
octopus: allow criss-cross and clarify the message when it rejects
octopus: allow manual resolve on the last round.
checkout: automerge local changes while switching branches.
checkout: merge local modifications while switching branches.
checkout: show dirty state upon switching branches.
format-patch: always --mbox and show sane Date:
----------------------------------------------------------------
These are still cooking in "pu" branch.
Build and Environment:
Makefile: do not assume lack of IPV6 means no sockaddr_storage.
fsck-objects: support platforms without d_ino in struct dirent.
DT_UNKNOWN: do not fully trust existence of DT_UNKNOWN
* These are for the latest Cygwin builds.
Documentation:
New Tutorial (J. Bruce Fields)
* Waiting for updates after the last round of comments.
Subproject:
read-tree: --prefix=<path>/ option.
write-tree: --prefix=<path>/ and --exclude=<prefix>/.
commit-tree: --bind <sha1> <path>/ option.
* Basic design has been outlined, and read-tree/write-tree
are probably safe to push out, but commit objects that
contain "bind" lines are unsafe until fsck-objects and
rev-list are updated.
Annotate:
rev-list: stop when the file disappears (Linus)
* I've only taken a cursory look at this patch.
