Git 2.4 Release Notes
=====================
Backward compatibility warning(s)
---------------------------------
This release has a few changes in the user-visible output from
Porcelain commands. These are not meant to be parsed by scripts, but
users still may want to be aware of the changes:
* The output from "git log --decorate" (and, more generally, the "%d"
format specifier used in the "--format=<string>" parameter to the
"git log" family of commands) has changed. It used to list "HEAD"
just like other branches; e.g.,
$ git log --decorate -1 master
commit bdb0f6788fa5e3cacc4315e9ff318a27b2676ff4 (HEAD, master)
...
This release changes the output slightly when HEAD refers to a
branch whose name is also shown in the output. The above is now
shown as:
$ git log --decorate -1 master
commit bdb0f6788fa5e3cacc4315e9ff318a27b2676ff4 (HEAD -> master)
...
* The phrasing "git branch" uses to describe a detached HEAD has been
updated to agree with the phrasing used by "git status":
- When HEAD is at the same commit as when it was originally
detached, they now both show "detached at <commit object name>".
- When HEAD has moved since it was originally detached, they now
both show "detached from <commit object name>".
Previously, "git branch" always used "from".
