This gives us better control over ++subprocesses without resorting to third-party modules. Most of the ++user-facing interface is the same, but there are a few changes, where ++reproducing the original interface was too difficult or we saw a ++change to make the underlying Git interface accessible: ++ ++* 'nmbug help' has been split between the general 'nmbug --help' and ++ the command-specific 'nmbug COMMAND --help'. ++ ++* Commands are no longer split into "most common", "other useful", and ++ "less common" sets. ++ ++* 'nmbug commit' now only uses a single argument for the optional ++ commit-message text. ++ ++* The default repository for 'nmbug push' and 'nmbug fetch' is now the ++ current branch's upstream (branch..remote) instead of ++ 'origin'. When we have to, we extract this remote by hand, but ++ where possible we just call the Git command without a repository ++ argument, and leave it to Git to figure out the default. ++ ++* 'nmbug push' accepts multiple refspecs if you want to explicitly ++ specify what to push. Otherwise, the refspec(s) pushed depend on ++ push.default. The Perl version hardcoded 'master' as the pushed ++ refspec. ++ ++* 'nmbug pull' defaults to the current branch's upstream ++ (branch..remote and branch..merge) instead of hardcoding ++ 'origin' and 'master'. It also supports multiple refspecs if for ++ some crazy reason you need an octopus merge (but mostly to avoid ++ breaking consistency with 'git pull'). ++ ++* 'nmbug status' now catches stderr, and doesn't print errors like: ++ ++ No upstream configured for branch 'master' ++ ++ The Perl implementation had just learned to avoid crashing on that ++ case, but wasn't yet catching the dying subprocess's stderr. ++ ++* 'nmbug archive' now accepts positional arguments for the tree-ish ++ and additional 'git archive' options. For example, you can run: ++ ++ $ nmbug archive HEAD -- --format tar.gz ++ + nmbug-status + ------------ + +-- +2.1.0.60.g85f0837 +
