GIT v1.5.2 Release Notes (draft)
2+
========================
3+
4+
Updates since v1.5.1
5+
--------------------
6+
7+
* New commands and options.
8+
9+
- "git bisect start" can optionally take a single bad commit and
10+
zero or more good commits on the command line.
11+
12+
* Updated behavior of existing commands.
13+
14+
- "git diff --stat" shows size of preimage and postimage blobs
15+
for binary contents. Earlier it only said "Bin".
16+
17+
- "git lost-found" shows stuff that are unreachable except
18+
from reflogs.
19+
20+
- "git checkout branch^0" now detaches HEAD at the tip commit
21+
on the named branch, instead of just switching to the
22+
branch (use "git checkout branch" to switch to the branch,
23+
as before).
24+
25+
- "git bisect next" can be used after giving only a bad commit
26+
without giving a good one (this starts bisection half-way to
27+
the root commit). We used to refuse to operate without a
28+
good and a bad commit.
29+
30+
* Builds
31+
32+
- git-p4import has never been installed; now there is an
33+
installation option to do so.
34+
35+
- gitk and git-gui can be configured out.
36+
37+
- Generated documentation pages automatically get version
38+
information from GIT_VERSION
39+
40+
- Parallel build with "make -j" descending into subdirectory
41+
was fixed.
42+
43+
* Performance Tweaks
44+
45+
- optimized "git-rev-list --bisect" (hence "git-bisect").
46+
47+
- optimized "git-add $path" in a large directory, most of
48+
whose contents are ignored.
49+
50+
51+
Fixes since v1.5.1
52+
------------------
53+
54+
The following are all in v1.5.1.x series, unless otherwise noted.
55+
56+
* Documentation updates
57+
58+
* Bugfixes
59+
60+
- Switching branches with "git checkout" refused to work when
61+
a path changes from a file to a directory between the
62+
current branch and the new branch, in order not to lose
63+
possible local changes in the directory that is being turned
64+
into a file with the switch. We now allow such a branch
65+
switch after making sure that there is no locally modified
66+
file nor un-ignored file in the directory. This has not
67+
been backported to 1.5.1.x series, as it is rather an
68+
intrusive change.
69+
70+
* Performance Tweaks
71+
72+

73+
