Changelog

git (1:1.8.0-1) experimental; urgency=low


  * new upstream release (see RelNotes/1.7.11.txt, RelNotes/1.7.12.txt,
    RelNotes/1.8.0.txt)
    * git-svn: ignore SIGPIPE so serf can recover from HTTP timeouts
      (closes: #526989).
    * git-svn: use platform specific auth providers.
    * git-svn: handle errors and concurrent commits in dcommit
      (closes: #676904).
    * am: support --include option.
    * grep: add a grep.patternType configuration setting.
    * daemon: --access-hook for authentication logging and policy.
    * merge-base: expose --is-ancestor helper for scripts.
    * branch: support --set-upstream-to with simpler syntax than
      --set-upstream.
    * format-patch: do not use bogus email addresses in message ids.
    * http: trim trailing newline from /etc/mailname.
    * do not ignore port in ssh URLs with ipv6 literals
      (closes: #646178).
    * look in ~/.config/git/config (XDG_CONFIG_HOME can override this)
      before ~/.gitconfig for configuration.
    * [core] excludesfile and attributes file default to
      ~/.config/git/ignore and ~/.config/git/attributes.
    * var doc: advertise current DEFAULT_PAGER and DEFAULT_EDITOR
      settings (closes: #666250).
    * git-blame.el: address elisp warnings from emacs:
      * use mapc instead of mapchar (closes: #611931).
      * do not use goto-line in lisp code (closes: #611933).
      * use with-current-buffer where appropriate (closes: #611932).
    * cli: add Italian and Vietnamese translations.
    * push: introduce new push.default mode "simple".  It will be the
      default in the next major release.

  [ Jonathan Nieder ]
  * debian/diff:
    * 0013...0031: remove; applied upstream.
    * 0012-Makefile-add-a-knob-to-turn-off-...diff: remove; fixed
      upstream.
  * debian/rules:
    * install German translation.
    * use NO_INSTALL_HARDLINKS=1 instead of NO_HARDLINKS=1 in OPTS
      (thx Tomáš Myšík and Anders Kaseorg; see #683568).
    * install-arch: sanity-check that built-ins still do not approach
      btrfs hardlink limit (see #642603).
    * git: install git-prompt.sh from contrib/completion to
      /usr/lib/git-core/git-sh-prompt.
    * git: install completion script to
      /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/{git,gitk} instead of
      /etc/bash_completion.d.  This allows bash-completion 2.0 to load
      it on the fly when completing arguments to git commands.
  * debian/control: Breaks: bash-completion (<< 1:1.90-1).
  * debian/git.preinst, debian/git.postinst, debian/git.postrm:
    remove /etc/bash_completion.d/git on upgrade if unmodified.
  * debian/rules, debian/git.conffiles, debian/git-prompt.completion:
    /etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt: new; source
    /usr/lib/git-core/git-sh-prompt so .bashrc files that rely on the
    completion lib defining __git_ps1 can continue to work (thx Danny
    Yates and Anders Kaseorg).
  * debian/git.conffiles: remove /etc/bash_completion.d/git.
  * update debian/copyright.
  * debian/control: gitweb: Recommends: libhttp-date-perl or
    libtime-module-perl for If-Modified-Since support; Build-Depends:
    same to support test suite.
  * debian/implicit: use order-only dependencies so "debian/rules
    binary-arch" does not try to build documentation.
