Changes between main releases of git

We are now close according to Junio to git 1.5.0. I'd like to ask by the occasion what were main changes between main versions (main releases) of git, say starting from v1.0.0? TIA.

We only just started talking about v1.5.0. I would expect it to be at least a month away, probably more. Definitely not by Christmas nor Linus's birthday.

I would agree we would LOVE to have that list by the time we do a real v1.5.0, so that should be on the TO-DO list. The essential sources of information are:

 * Previous "What's in" summaries.

 * Previous "GIT v1.X.X" announcements.

 * Output from this (pick the ones that are not marked with ^)

	for txt in Documentation/*.txt
	do
        	git blame v1.0.0..next -- "$txt"
	done

 * Output from this

	git log v1.0.0..next

My time however is rather tight and I feel it is better spent on the real development and release management. People who has been following the git list long enough should be able to come up with a draft to help the process.

I happen to think you are among the more qualified people.
