Support building Git with Visual Studio The bits about .git/branches/* have been dropped from the series. We may want to drop the support for it, but until that happens, the tests should rely on the existence of the support to pass. * js/visual-studio: (23 commits) git: avoid calling aliased builtins via their dashed form bin-wrappers: append `.exe` to target paths if necessary .gitignore: ignore Visual Studio's temporary/generated files .gitignore: touch up the entries regarding Visual Studio vcxproj: also link-or-copy builtins msvc: add a Makefile target to pre-generate the Visual Studio solution contrib/buildsystems: add a backend for modern Visual Studio versions contrib/buildsystems: handle options starting with a slash contrib/buildsystems: also handle -lexpat contrib/buildsystems: handle libiconv, too contrib/buildsystems: handle the curl library option contrib/buildsystems: error out on unknown option contrib/buildsystems: optionally capture the dry-run in a file contrib/buildsystems: redirect errors of the dry run into a log file contrib/buildsystems: ignore gettext stuff contrib/buildsystems: handle quoted spaces in filenames contrib/buildsystems: fix misleading error message contrib/buildsystems: ignore irrelevant files in Generators/ contrib/buildsystems: ignore invalidcontinue.obj Vcproj.pm: urlencode '<' and '>' when generating VC projects ...
1.6.0.2.txt
GIT v1.6.0.2 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.6.0.1
--------------------
* Installation on platforms that needs .exe suffix to git-* programs were
broken in 1.6.0.1.
* Installation on filesystems without symbolic links support did not
work well.
* In-tree documentations and test scripts now use "git foo" form to set a
better example, instead of the "git-foo" form (which is an acceptable
form if you have "PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH" in your script)
* Many commands did not use the correct working tree location when used
with GIT_WORK_TREE environment settings.
* Some systems need to use compatibility fnmatch and regex libraries
independent from each other; the compat/ area has been reorganized to
allow this.
* "git apply --unidiff-zero" incorrectly applied a -U0 patch that inserts
a new line before the second line.
* "git blame -c" did not exactly work like "git annotate" when range
boundaries are involved.
* "git checkout file" when file is still unmerged checked out contents from
a random high order stage, which was confusing.
* "git clone $there $here/" with extra trailing slashes after explicit
local directory name $here did not work as expected.
* "git diff" on tracked contents with CRLF line endings did not drive "less"
intelligently when showing added or removed lines.
* "git diff --dirstat -M" did not add changes in subdirectories up
correctly for renamed paths.
* "git diff --cumulative" did not imply "--dirstat".
* "git for-each-ref refs/heads/" did not work as expected.
* "git gui" allowed users to feed patch without any context to be applied.
* "git gui" botched parsing "diff" output when a line that begins with two
dashes and a space gets removed or a line that begins with two pluses
and a space gets added.
* "git gui" translation updates and i18n fixes.
* "git index-pack" is more careful against disk corruption while completing
a thin pack.
* "git log -i --grep=pattern" did not ignore case; neither "git log -E
--grep=pattern" triggered extended regexp.
* "git log --pretty="%ad" --date=short" did not use short format when
showing the timestamp.
* "git log --author=author" match incorrectly matched with the
timestamp part of "author " line in commit objects.
* "git log -F --author=author" did not work at all.
* Build procedure for "git shell" that used stub versions of some
functions and globals was not understood by linkers on some platforms.
* "git stash" was fooled by a stat-dirty but otherwise unmodified paths
and refused to work until the user refreshed the index.
* "git svn" was broken on Perl before 5.8 with recent fixes to reduce
use of temporary files.
* "git verify-pack -v" did not work correctly when given more than one
packfile.
Also contains many documentation updates.
