-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A new release of git, 1.5.3.2-1, has been uploaded, replacing 1.5.3-1 as the current version.
NEWS: ===== This is a new upstream release. See also the package documentation in /usr/share/doc/git-1.5.3.2/, along with the attached upstream release notes. 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' 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 v1.5.3.2 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.5.3.1 -------------------- * git-push sent thin packs by default, which was not good for the public distribution server (no point in saving transfer while pushing; no point in making the resulting pack less optimum). * git-svn sometimes terminated with "Malformed network data" when talking over svn:// protocol. * git-send-email re-issued the same message-id about 10% of the time if you fired off 30 messages within a single second. * git-stash was not terminating the log message of commits it internally creates with LF. * git-apply failed to check the size of the patch hunk when its beginning part matched the remainder of the preimage exactly, even though the preimage recorded in the hunk was much larger (therefore the patch should not have applied), leading to a segfault. * "git rm foo && git commit foo" complained that 'foo' needs to be added first, instead of committing the removal, which was a nonsense. * git grep -c said "/dev/null: 0". * git-add -u failed to recognize a blob whose type changed between the index and the work tree. * The limit to rename detection has been tightened a lot to reduce performance problems with a huge change. * cvsimport and svnimport barfed when the input tried to move a tag. * "git apply -pN" did not chop the right number of directories. * "git svnimport" did not like SVN tags with funny characters in them. * git-gui 0.8.3, with assorted fixes, including: - font-chooser on X11 was unusable with large number of fonts; - a diff that contained a deleted symlink made it barf; - an untracked symbolic link to a directory made it fart; - a file with % in its name made it vomit; Documentation updates --------------------- User manual has been somewhat restructured. I think the new organization is much easier to read. GIT v1.5.3.1 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.5.3 ------------------ This is solely to fix the generated RPM's dependencies. We used to have git-p4 package but we do not anymore. As suggested on the mailing list, this release makes git-core "Obsolete" git-p4, so that yum update would not complain.
