7 UI, Workflows & Features
9 * The "--format=%(trailers)" mechanism gets enhanced to make it
10 easier to design output for machine consumption.
12 * When a user does not tell "git pull" to use rebase or merge, the
13 command gives a loud message telling a user to choose between
14 rebase or merge but creates a merge anyway, forcing users who would
15 want to rebase to redo the operation. Fix an early part of this
16 problem by tightening the condition to give the message---there is
17 no reason to stop or force the user to choose between rebase or
18 merge if the history fast-forwards.
20 * The configuration variable 'core.abbrev' can be set to 'no' to
21 force no abbreviation regardless of the hash algorithm.
23 * "git rev-parse" can be explicitly told to give output as absolute
24 or relative path with the `--path-format=(absolute|relative)` option.
26 * Bash completion (in contrib/) update to make it easier for
27 end-users to add completion for their custom "git" subcommands.
30 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
32 * A 3-year old test that was not testing anything useful has been
35 * Retire more names with "sha1" in it.
37 * The topological walk codepath is covered by new trace2 stats.
43 * Diagnose command line error of "git rebase" early.
