CHANGES

• Drop support for Python 3 < 3.4. This is because pkg_resources (which get used by setuptools and mock) no longer supports 3.3 and earlier. (Jelmer Vernooij)

IMPROVEMENTS

• Support depth argument to GitClient.fetch_pack and support fetching and updating shallow metadata. (Jelmer Vernooij, #240)

BUG FIXES

• Don't write to stdout and stderr when they are not available (such as is the case for pythonw). (Sylvia van Os, #652)

• Fix compatibility with newer versions of git, which expect CONTENT_LENGTH to be set to 0 for empty body requests. (Jelmer Vernooij, #657)

• Raise an exception client-side when a caller tries to request SHAs that are not directly referenced the servers' refs. (Jelmer Vernooij)

• Raise more informative errors when unable to connect to repository over SSH or subprocess. (Jelmer Vernooij)

• Handle commit identity fields with multiple ">" characters. (Nicolas Dandrimont)

IMPROVEMENTS

• dulwich.porcelain.get_object_by_path method for easily accessing a path in another tree. (Jelmer Vernooij)

• Support the i18n.commitEncoding setting in config. (Jelmer Vernooij)
