This replaces 1.6.0.2-1 as current, and leaves 1.5.6.4-1 as the previous version. NEWS: ===== This is a new upstream minor patch release. I'm attaching the release notes; see also the package documentation in /usr/share/doc/git-1.6.0.4/. 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', 'gitk', 'git-gui', and/or 'git-completion' 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 git 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.

GIT v1.6.0.3 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.6.0.2 -------------------- * "git archive --format=zip" did not honor core.autocrlf while --format=tar did. * Continuing "git rebase -i" was very confused when the user left modified files in the working tree while resolving conflicts. * Continuing "git rebase -i" was also very confused when the user left some staged changes in the index after "edit". * "git rebase -i" now honors the pre-rebase hook, just like the other rebase implementations "git rebase" and "git rebase -m". * "git rebase -i" incorrectly aborted when there is no commit to replay. * Behaviour of "git diff --quiet" was inconsistent with "diff --exit-code" with the output redirected to /dev/null. * "git diff --no-index" on binary files no longer outputs a bogus "diff --git" header line. * "git diff" hunk header patterns with multiple elements separated by LF were not used correctly. * Hunk headers in "git diff" default to using extended regular expressions, fixing some of the internal patterns on non-GNU platforms. * New config "diff.*.xfuncname" exposes extended regular expressions for user specified hunk header patterns. * "git gc" when ejecting otherwise unreachable objects from packfiles into loose form leaked memory. * "git index-pack" was recently broken and mishandled objects added by thin-pack completion processing under memory pressure. * "git index-pack" was recently broken and misbehaved when run from inside .git/objects/pack/ directory. * "git stash apply sash@{1}" was fixed to error out. Prior versions would have applied stash@{0} incorrectly. * "git stash apply" now offers a better suggestion on how to continue if the working tree is currently dirty. * "git for-each-ref --format=%(subject)" fixed for commits with no no newline in the message body. * "git remote" fixed to protect printf from user input. * "git remote show -v" now displays all URLs of a remote. * "git checkout -b branch" was confused when branch already existed. * "git checkout -q" once again suppresses the locally modified file list. * "git clone -q", "git fetch -q" asks remote side to not send progress messages, actually making their output quiet. * Cross-directory renames are no longer used when creating packs. This allows more graceful behavior on filesystems like sshfs. * Stale temporary files under $GIT_DIR/objects/pack are now cleaned up automatically by "git prune". * "git merge" once again removes directories after the last file has been removed from it during the merge. * "git merge" did not allocate enough memory for the structure itself when enumerating the parents of the resulting commit. * "git blame -C -C" no longer segfaults while trying to pass blame if it encounters a submodule reference. * "git rm" incorrectly claimed that you have local modifications when a path was merely stat-dirty. * "git svn" fixed to display an error message when 'set-tree' failed, instead of a Perl compile error. * "git submodule" fixed to handle checking out a different commit than HEAD after initializing the submodule. * The "git commit" error message when there are still unmerged files present was clarified to match "git write-tree". * "git init" was confused when core.bare or core.sharedRepository are set in system or user global configuration file by mistake. When --bare or --shared is given from the command line, these now override such settings made outside the repositories. * Some segfaults due to uncaught NULL pointers were fixed in multiple tools such as apply, reset, update-index. * Solaris builds now default to OLD_ICONV=1 to avoid compile warnings; Solaris 8 does not define NEEDS_LIBICONV by default. * "Git.pm" tests relied on unnecessarily more recent version of Perl. * "gitweb" triggered undef warning on commits without log messages. * "gitweb" triggered undef warnings on missing trees. * "gitweb" now removes PATH_INFO from its URLs so users don't have to manually set the URL in the gitweb configuration. * Bash completion removed support for legacy "git-fetch", "git-push" and "git-pull" as these are no longer installed. Dashless form ("git fetch") is still however supported. Many other documentation updates. --------------060903060603090805030504--
