GitPython 0.1.4 Released

Posted on July 16, 2008

I’m pleased to announce the release of GitPython 0.1.4. I appreciate all of the work from contributors on this release, especially from Florian Apolloner who has really taken the lead and managed everything.

DOWNLOAD

You can get it directly from cheeseshop at: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/GitPython/

Or checkout the tag with:


$ git fetch --tags 
$ git checkout -b 0.1.4 0.1.4

CHANGES

  • renamed git_python to git. Be sure to delete all pyc files before testing.

Commit

  • Fixed problem with commit stats not working under all conditions.

Git

  • Renamed module to cmd.
  • Removed shell escaping completely.
  • Added support for stderr, stdin, and with_status.
  • git_dir is now optional in the constructor for git.Git. Git now falls back to os.getcwd() when git_dir is not specified.
  • add a with_exceptions keyword argument to git commands. GitCommandError is raised when the exit status is non-zero.
  • add support for a GIT_PYTHON_TRACE environment variable. GIT_PYTHON_TRACE allows us to debug GitPython’s usage of git through the use of an environment variable.

Tree

  • Fixed up problem where name doesn’t exist on root of tree.

Repo

  • Corrected problem with creating bare repo. Added Repo.create alias.

Please let us know if you find problems.

We’re at a point where we have to decide where to go with the library, so if you have ideas, we’d like to know that as well.
