Hello,
I am preparing for Git 1.5.6. I plan to release an installer soon
after Junio released 1.5.6.
Could you please check if all the patches you'd like to see in the
next release are on the devel branches in msysgit and 4msysgit. I've
been submerged in work lately, so I haven't closely followed the list.
Thus, I may have missed some developments that should be included.
Do git.cmd or gitk.cmd need improvement? I don't use the wrapper
scripts myself.
Here is what I did so far:
* In msysgit I merged:
- work/p2w, which tweaks MSYS' path mangling.
- work/putty, which adds a PuTTY-option to the installer.
[ I use plink and now see a lot of "debugging" messages whenever
I push. @Edward, is this intended? If so, did you check that
git gui doesn't get confused by plink's messages? ]
- work/innosetup, which improves explanation of the PATH options.
* In 4msysgit I merged:
- mingw/master, which brings Junio's v1.5.6-rc1.
- raible/stash, which works around MSYS breaking "@{1}".
- eya/plink, which improves support for PuTTY's plink.
- pha/shbang, which teaches the MINGW compat layer to accept '\r'
in shbang lines.
I have no further plans besides waiting for official 1.5.6.
Steffen
