| Stacked Git 0.15 released |
| ------------------------- |
| |
| StGit is a Python application providing functionality similar to Quilt |
| (i.e. pushing/popping patches to/from a stack) on top of Git. These |
| operations are performed using Git commands, and the patches are |
| stored as Git commit objects, allowing easy merging of the StGit |
| patches into other repositories using standard Git functionality. |

| Bug tracker: https://gna.org/bugs/?group=stgit |
| |
| The main changes since release 0.14.3 are |
| |
| - New core infrastructure for repository operations, including |
| |
| + Infinite undo/redo operations and corresponding commands. |
| |
| + Automatic rollback of changes following a failed operation |
| (using transactions)---this ensures that StGit commands either |
| succeed or do nothing. Previously, every commands had its own |
| ad hoc implementation of this. |
| |
| - Some commands were added, including |
| |
| + "stg squash", for combining two or more patches into one. |
| |
| + "stg publish", for maintaining merge-friendly branches (which |
| are not rebased). |
| |
| + "stg prev/next" for printing the name of the previous or next |
| patch in the series. |
| |
| - The commands "stg add", "stg rm", "stg cp", and "stg resolved" |
| were removed, since there are corresponding Git equivalents. |
| |
| - The "stg import" and "stg fold" commands support the "-p N" option |
| for stripping leading slashes from diff paths. |
| |
| - The "stg import" and "stg fold" commands support the "--reject" |
| option for leaving rejected hunks in corresponding *.rej files. |
| |
| - New patch identification syntax: <branch>:<patch> (see |
| documentation for the "stg id" command). |
| |
| - Autosigning of imported patches when "sign.autosign" configuration |
| option is set. |
| |
| - A powerful Emacs mode for StGit was added to the "contrib" |
| directory. It displays the patch stack in an Emacs buffer, and can |
| handle all common StGit tasks. |
| |
| - Improved bash tab-completion, automatically generated from the stg |
| command definitions. |
| |
| - Man pages and an improved tutorial. |
| |
| Special thanks go to Karl Wiberg for the hard work done on the new |
| StGit features, to Catalin Marinas for many new features and bugfixes, |
| and to David Kågedal and Gustav Hållberg for the Emacs mode. |
