We presently use the ".txt" extension for our AsciiDoc files. While not wrong, most editors do not associate this extension with AsciiDoc, meaning that contributors don't get automatic editor functionality that could be useful, such as syntax highlighting and prose linting. It is much more common to use the ".adoc" extension for AsciiDoc files, since this helps editors automatically detect files and also allows various forges to provide rich (HTML-like) rendering. Let's do that here, renaming all of the files and updating the includes where relevant. Adjust the various build scripts and makefiles to use the new extension as well. Note that this should not result in any user-visible changes to the documentation. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Git v1.7.4.2 Release Notes
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.7.4.1
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* Many documentation updates to match "git cmd -h" output and the
|
|
git-cmd manual page.
|
|
|
|
* We used to keep one file descriptor open for each and every packfile
|
|
that we have a mmap window on it (read: "in use"), even when for very
|
|
tiny packfiles. We now close the file descriptor early when the entire
|
|
packfile fits inside one mmap window.
|
|
|
|
* "git bisect visualize" tried to run "gitk" in windowing
|
|
environments even when "gitk" is not installed, resulting in a
|
|
strange error message.
|
|
|
|
* "git clone /no/such/path" did not fail correctly.
|
|
|
|
* "git commit" did not correctly error out when the user asked to use a
|
|
non existent file as the commit message template.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff --stat -B" ran on binary files counted the changes in lines,
|
|
which was nonsensical.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff -M" opportunistically detected copies, which was not
|
|
necessarily a good thing, especially when it is internally run by
|
|
recursive merge.
|
|
|
|
* "git difftool" didn't tell (g)vimdiff that the files it is reading are
|
|
to be opened read-only.
|
|
|
|
* "git merge" didn't pay attention to prepare-commit-msg hook, even
|
|
though if a merge is conflicted and manually resolved, the subsequent
|
|
"git commit" would have triggered the hook, which was inconsistent.
|
|
|
|
* "git patch-id" (and commands like "format-patch --ignore-in-upstream"
|
|
that use it as their internal logic) handled changes to files that end
|
|
with incomplete lines incorrectly.
|
|
|
|
* The official value to tell "git push" to push the current branch back
|
|
to update the upstream branch it forked from is now called "upstream".
|
|
The old name "tracking" is and will be supported.
|
|
|
|
* "git submodule update" used to honor the --merge/--rebase option (or
|
|
corresponding configuration variables) even for a newly cloned
|
|
subproject, which made no sense (so/submodule-no-update-first-time).
|
|
|
|
* gitweb's "highlight" interface mishandled tabs.
|
|
|
|
* gitweb didn't understand timezones with GMT offset that is not
|
|
multiple of a whole hour.
|
|
|
|
* gitweb had a few forward-incompatible syntactic constructs and
|
|
also used incorrect variable when showing the file mode in a diff.
|
|
|
|
And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
