NEWS: ===== This is a new upstream release. See also the package documentation in /usr/share/doc/git-1.5.1.3/, along with the attached upstream release notes. When compiled out of the box, the upstream git maintainers cater to older cygwin releases, and intentionally disable certain features that have been reported on their mailing list, even though they work with the latest cygwin. Therefore, this build turns those features back on. However, it means that this version does assume that you are not using FAT or FAT32 to hold your repositories, since they do not store file permissions very accurately. DESCRIPTION: ============ Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency; it is used mainly for various open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel. Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools, similar to e.g. GNU Arch or Monotone (or BitKeeper in the proprietary world). Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. UPDATE: ======= To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'git' from the 'Devel' category. DOWNLOAD: ========= Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html QUESTIONS: ========== If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. - -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin package maintainer CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO: ================================= To unsubscribe to the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.

Tweak the official Makefile to make it harder for distro people to make the same mistake, by setting the variable to /etc/gitconfig if prefix is set to /usr. - git-svn inconsistently stripped away username from the URL only when svnsync_props was in use. - git-svn got confused when handling symlinks on Mac OS. - git-send-email was not quoting recipient names that have period '.' in them. Also it did not allow overriding envelope sender, which made it impossible to send patches to certain subscriber-only lists. - built-in write_tree() routine had a sequence that renamed a file that is still open, which some systems did not like. - when memory is very tight, sliding mmap code to read packfiles incorrectly closed the fd that was still being used to read the pack. - import-tars contributed front-end for fastimport was passing wrong directory modes without checking. - git-fastimport trusted its input too much and allowed to create corrupt tree objects with entries without a name. - git-fetch needlessly barfed when too long reflog action description was given by the caller. Also contains various documentation updates. GIT v1.5.1.2 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.5.1.1 -------------------- * Bugfixes - "git clone" over http from a repository that has lost the loose refs by running "git pack-refs" were broken (a code to deal with this was added to "git fetch" in v1.5.0, but it was missing from "git clone"). - "git diff a/ b/" incorrectly fell in "diff between two filesystem objects" codepath, when the user most likely wanted to limit the extent of output to two tracked directories. - git-quiltimport had the same bug as we fixed for git-applymbox in v1.5.1.1 -- it gave an alarming "did not have any patch" message (but did not actually fail and was harmless). - various git-svn fixes. - Sample update hook incorrectly always refused requests to delete branches through push. - git-blame on a very long working tree path had buffer overrun problem. - git-apply did not like to be fed two patches in a row that created and then modified the same file. - git-svn was confused when a non-project was stored directly under trunk/, branches/ and tags/. - git-svn wants the Error.pm module that was at least as new as what we ship as part of git; install ours in our private installation location if the one on the system is older. - An earlier update to command line integer parameter parser was botched and made 'update-index --cacheinfo' completely useless. * Documentation updates - Various documentation updates from J. Bruce Fields, Frank Lichtenheld, Alex Riesen and others. Andrew Ruder started a war on undocumented options. GIT v1.5.1.1 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.5.1 ------------------ * Documentation updates - The --left-right option of rev-list and friends is documented. - The documentation for cvsimport has been majorly improved. - "git-show-ref --exclude-existing" was documented. * Bugfixes - The implementation of -p option in "git cvsexportcommit" had the meaning of -C (context reduction) option wrong, and loosened the context requirements when it was told to be strict. - "git cvsserver" did not behave like the real cvsserver when client side removed a file from the working tree without doing anything else on the path. In such a case, it should restore it from the checked out revision. - "git fsck" issued an alarming error message on detached HEAD. It is not an error since at least 1.5.0. - "git send-email" produced of References header of unbounded length; fixed this with line-folding. - "git archive" to download from remote site should not require you to be in a git repository, but it incorrectly did. - "git apply" ignored -p for "diff --git" formatted patches. - "git rerere" recorded a conflict that had one side empty (the other side adds) incorrectly; this made merging in the other direction fail to use previously recorded resolution. - t4200 test was broken where "wc -l" pads its output with spaces. - "git branch -m old new" to rename branch did not work without a configuration file in ".git/config". - The sample hook for notification e-mail was misnamed. - gitweb did not show type-changing patch correctly in the blobdiff view. - git-svn did not error out with incorrect command line options. - git-svn fell into an infinite loop when insanely long commit message was found. - git-svn dcommit and rebase was confused by patches that were merged from another branch that is managed by git-svn. - git-svn used to get confused when globbing remote branch/tag spec (e.g. "branches = proj/branches/*:refs/remotes/origin/*") is used and there was a plain file that matched the glob. GIT v1.5.0.7 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.5.0.6 -------------------- * Bugfixes - git-upload-pack failed to close unused pipe ends, resulting in many zombies to hang around. - git-rerere was recording the contents of earlier hunks duplicated in later hunks. This prevented resolving the same conflict when performing the same merge the other way around. * Documentation - a few documentation fixes from Debian package maintainer. GIT v1.5.0.6 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.5.0.5 -------------------- * Bugfixes - a handful small fixes to gitweb. - build procedure for user-manual is fixed not to require locally installed stylesheets. - "git commit $paths" on paths whose earlier contents were already updated in the index were failing out. * Documentation - user-manual has better cross references. - gitweb installation/deployment procedure is now documented. GIT v1.5.0.5 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.5.0.3 -------------------- * Bugfixes - git-merge (hence git-pull) did not refuse fast-forwarding when the working tree had local changes that would have conflicted with it. - git.el does not add duplicate sign-off lines. - git-commit shows the full stat of the resulting commit, not just about the files in the current directory, when run from a subdirectory. - "git-checkout -m '@{8 hours ago}'" had a funny failure from eval; fixed. - git-gui updates. * Documentation updates * User manual updates GIT v1.5.0.4 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.5.0.3 -------------------- * Bugfixes - git.el does not add duplicate sign-off lines. - git-commit shows the full stat of the resulting commit, not just about the files in the current directory, when run from a subdirectory. - "git-checkout -m '@{8 hours ago}'" had a funny failure from eval; fixed. - git-gui updates. * Documentation updates * User manual updates --------------070809010707080703000600--
