A new release of git, 1.6.3.2-1, has been uploaded to the cygwin 1.7
release area.  This replaces 1.6.3.1-1 as current.

NEWS:
=====
This is a new upstream major release.  It also changes the location of
library executables from /usr/sbin/git-core to the FHS-specified
/usr/lib/git-core, as well as providing UAC manifest files as needed for
Vista.  I'm attaching the release notes; see also the package
documentation in /usr/share/doc/git/.

There is still a known report of cloning over the git: protocol to fail
with 'Bad address', but this is suspected to be a bug in cygwin1.dll; the
workaround is to clone over the http: protocol.

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.
