A new release of git, 1.7.3.3-1, has been uploaded, and will be
available for use when your mirror catches up.  This leaves 1.7.2.3-1 as
previous.

NEWS:
=====
This is a new upstream release, with upstream release notes attached.
See also the package documentation in /usr/share/doc/git/.

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.

There have been several reports of git over ssh causing problems.  The
root cause of this problem is not yet known but are more likely to lie
in the cygwin dll rather than in git; help in debugging the issue would
be appreciated.  In the meantime, if you have difficulty cloning a
repository over the git protocol, try cloning from an http mirror instead.

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', 'git-svn', and/or 'git-completion' from the 'Devel'
category.

DOWNLOAD:
=========
Note that downloads from sourceware.org (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.

Git v1.7.3.3 Release Notes
==========================

In addition to the usual fixes, this release also includes support for
the new "add.ignoreErrors" name given to the existing "add.ignore-errors"
configuration variable.

The next version, Git 1.7.4, and future versions, will support both
old and incorrect name and the new corrected name, but without this
backport, users who want to use the new name "add.ignoreErrors" in
their repositories cannot use older versions of Git.

Fixes since v1.7.3.2
--------------------

 * "git apply" segfaulted when a bogus input is fed to it.

 * Running "git cherry-pick --ff" on a root commit segfaulted.

 * "diff", "blame" and friends incorrectly applied textconv filters to
   symlinks.

 * Highlighting of whitespace breakage in "diff" output was showing
   incorrect amount of whitespaces when blank-at-eol is set and the line
   consisted only of whitespaces and a TAB.

 * "diff" was overly inefficient when trying to find the line to use for
   the function header (i.e. equivalent to --show-c-function of GNU diff).

 * "git imap-send" depends on libcrypto but our build rule relied on the
   linker to implicitly link it via libssl, which was wrong.

 * "git merge-file" can be called from within a subdirectory now.

 * "git repack -f" expanded and recompressed non-delta objects in the
   existing pack, which was wasteful.  Use new "-F" option if you really
   want to (e.g. when changing the pack.compression level).

 * "git rev-list --format="...%x00..." incorrectly chopped its output
   at NUL.

 * "git send-email" did not correctly remove duplicate mail addresses from
   the Cc: header that appear on the To: header.

 * The completion script (in contrib/completion) ignored lightweight tags
   in __git_ps1().

 * "git-blame" mode (in contrib/emacs) didn't say (require 'format-spec)
   even though it depends on it; it didn't work with Emacs 22 or older
   unless Gnus is used.

 * "git-p4" (in contrib/) did not correctly handle deleted files.

Other minor fixes and documentation updates are also included.

Git v1.7.3.2 Release Notes
==========================

This is primarily to push out many documentation fixes accumulated since
the 1.7.3.1 release.

Git v1.7.3.1 Release Notes
==========================

Fixes since v1.7.3
------------------

 * "git stash show stash@{$n}" was accidentally broken in 1.7.3 ("git
   stash show" without any argument still worked, though).

 * "git stash branch $branch stash@{$n}" was accidentally broken in
   1.7.3 and started dropping the named stash even when branch creation
   failed.

And other minor fixes and documentation updates.

Git v1.7.3 Release Notes
========================

Updates since v1.7.2
--------------------

 * git-gui, now at version 0.13.0, got various updates and a new
   maintainer, Pat Thoyts.

 * Gitweb allows its configuration to change per each request; it used to
   read the configuration once upon startup.

 * When git finds a corrupt object, it now reports the file that contains
   it.

 * "git checkout -B <it>" is a shorter way to say "git branch -f <it>"
   followed by "git checkout <it>".

 * When "git checkout" or "git merge" refuse to proceed in order to
   protect local modification to your working tree, they used to stop
   after showing just one path that might be lost.  They now show all,
   in a format that is easier to read.

 * "git clean" learned "-e" ("--exclude") option.

 * Hunk headers produced for C# files by "git diff" and friends show more
   relevant context than before.

 * diff.ignoresubmodules configuration variable can be used to squelch the
   differences in submodules reported when running commands (e.g. "diff",
   "status", etc.) at the superproject level.

 * http.useragent configuration can be used to lie who you are to your
   restrictive firewall.

 * "git rebase --strategy <s>" learned "-X" option to pass extra options
   that are understood by the chosen merge strategy.

 * "git rebase -i" learned "exec" that you can insert into the insn sheet
   to run a command between its steps.

 * "git rebase" between branches that have many binary changes that do
   not conflict should be faster.

 * "git rebase -i" peeks into rebase.autosquash configuration and acts as
   if you gave --autosquash from the command line.


Also contains various documentation updates.


Fixes since v1.7.2
------------------

All of the fixes in v1.7.2.X maintenance series are included in this
release, unless otherwise noted.

 * "git merge -s recursive" (which is the default) did not handle cases
   where a directory becomes a file (or vice versa) very well.

 * "git fetch" and friends were accidentally broken for url with "+" in
   its path, e.g. "git://git.gnome.org/gtk+".

 * "git fetch $url" (i.e. without refspecs) was broken for quite some
   time, if the current branch happen to be tracking some remote.

 * "git ls-tree dir dirgarbage", when "dir" was a directory,
   incorrectly recursed into "dir".

 * "git note remove" created unnecessary extra commit when named object
   did not have any note to begin with.

 * "git rebase" did not work well if you had diff.noprefix configured.

 * "git -c foo=bar subcmd" did not work well for subcmd that is not
   implemented as a built-in command.
