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. - -- 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.

It should produce the file itself, but instead produced an empty result. * GIT_TRACE mechanism segfaulted when tracing a shell-quoted aliases. * OpenBSD also uses st_ctimspec in "struct stat", instead of "st_ctim". * With NO_CROSS_DIRECTORY_HARDLINKS, "make install" can be told not to create hardlinks between $(gitexecdir)/git-$builtin_commands and $(bindir)/git. * command completion code in bash did not reliably detect that we are in a bare repository. * "git add ." in an empty directory complained that pathspec "." did not match anything, which may be technically correct, but not useful. We silently make it a no-op now. * "git add -p" (and "patch" action in "git add -i") was broken when the first hunk that adds a line at the top was split into two and both halves are marked to be used. * "git blame path" misbehaved at the commit where path became file from a directory with some files in it. * "git for-each-ref" had a segfaulting bug when dealing with a tag object created by an ancient git. * "git format-patch -k" still added patch numbers if format.numbered configuration was set. * "git grep --color ''" did not terminate. The command also had subtle bugs with its -w option. * http-push had a small use-after-free bug. * "git push" was converting OFS_DELTA pack representation into less efficient REF_DELTA representation unconditionally upon transfer, making the transferred data unnecessarily larger. * "git remote show origin" segfaulted when origin was still empty. Many other general usability updates around help text, diagnostic messages and documentation are included as well. --------------080800070502090905020304--
