[ANNOUNCE] tig-1.0

[ANNOUNCE] tig-1.0

[Jonas Fonseca]

Hello,

Version 1.0 of tig is now available. This release brings many smaller
tweaks and improvements as well as a number of fixes and compatibility
changes to work with the newer versions of git. See the release notes
below for a detailed list of changes.

Note that the master repository has been moved to:

	git://github.com/jonas/tig.git.

So if you were tracking the old master repository, please update your
.git/config or run:

	$ git remote set-url origin git://github.com/jonas/tig.git

What is tig?
------------
Tig is an ncurses-based text-mode interface for git. It functions mainly
as a git repository browser, but can also assist in staging changes for
commit at chunk level and act as a pager for output from various git
commands.

 - Git URL:	git://github.com/jonas/tig.git 
 - Gitweb:	http://repo.or.cz/w/tig.git

Release notes
-------------
The master repository is git://github.com/jonas/tig.git, and the old
master repository (http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/tig.git) will be retired.

Improvements:

 - Use git-log(1)s default commit ordering. The old behavior can be
   restored by adding `set commit-order = topo` to ~/.tigrc.
 - Support staging of single lines. Bound to '1' default. (GH #21)
 - Use +<lineno> to open the initial view at an arbitrary line. (GH #20)
 - Add show-notes ~/.tigrc option. Notes are displayed by default.
 - Support jumping to specific SHAs in the main view.
 - Decorate replaced commits.
 - Display line numbers in main view.
 - Colorize binary diff stats. (GH #17)
 - Custom colorization of lines matching a string prefix (GH #16).
   Example configuration: color "Reported-by:" green default
 - Use git's color settings for the main, status and diff views.
   Put `set read-git-colors = no` in ~/.tigrc to disable.
 - Handle editor options with multiple arguments. (GH #12)
 - Show filename when running tig blame with copy detection. (GH #19)
 - Use 'source <path>' command to load additional files from ~/.tigrc
 - User-defined commands prefixed with '@' are run with no console
   output, e.g.

   	bind generic 3 !@rm sys$command

 - Make display of space changes togglable in the diff and stage view.
   Bound to 'W' by default.
 - Use per-file encoding specified in gitattributes(5) for blobs and
   unstaged files.
 - Obsolete commit-encoding option and pass --encoding=UTF-8 to revision
   commands.
 - Main view: show uncommitted changes as staged/unstaged commits.
   Can be disabled by putting `set show-changes = no` in ~/.tigrc.
 - Add %(prompt) external command variable, which will prompt for the
   argument value.
 - Log information about git commands when the TIG_TRACE environment
   variable is set. Example: `TIG_TRACE=/tmp/tig.log tig`
 - Branch view: Show the title of the last commit.
 - Increase the author auto-abbreviation threshold to 10. (GH #49)
 - For old commits show number of years in relative dates. (GH #50)

Bug fixes:

 - Fix navigation behavior when going from branch to main view. (GH #38)
 - Fix segfault when sorting the tree view by author name.
 - Fix diff stat navigation for unmodified files with stat changes.
 - Show branches/refs which names are a substring of the current branch.
 - Stage view: fix off-by-one error when jumping to a file in a diff
   with only one file.
 - Fix diff-header colorization. (GH #15)

Hi Jonas,

With tig 1.0 how to feed specific revisions to the main view?

The following hack worked until tig 0.17:

[alias]
        tignowalk-helper = !git rev-list --pretty=raw --no-walk --stdin<

TIG_MAIN_CMD="git tignowalk-helper $tmp" tig </dev/tty

Cheers,

JB

The possibility to specify commands was removed in favor of improving
options given on the command line. In this spirit, I suggest to
support something like the following:

    tig --no-walk --stdin < tmp-file

Would that cover your use case?

That would be great!  I would then feed tig with all commits I want to
see in the main view.

When you have time, please test the main-view-with-stdin branch in

Re: [ANNOUNCE] tig-1.0

[Jean-Baptiste Quenot]

There's a small glitch however: when some git command returns an error
(for example when typing 'M' for merge in main view) the main view
displays the tip of the current branch, instead of the list of
revisions passed in stdin.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] tig-1.0

This actually happens everytime I run a git command with a key
binding, be it successful or not.  The main view is restored to the
tip of the current branch.

If I have understood the problem correctly, you have a keybinding
mapping 'M' to `git merge %(commit)` or something like that and when
you type 'M', tig will list the commits in the master branch after
executing the external command.

I didn't account for this in the patch, and I will have to figure out
a way to disable the current behavior of reloading the main view after
executing an external command.

Yes, actually you can test with existing key bindings like cherry pick
(C).  The main view is reloaded with the tip of the current branch, as
if the no-walk option was correctly taken into account, but not the
list of commits in stdin.
