Hash: SHA1
A new release of git, 1.5.1.3-1, has been uploaded, replacing 1.5.0.3-1 as
the current version.
NEWS:
=====
This is a new upstream release. See also the package documentation in
/usr/share/doc/git-1.5.1.3/, 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.

GIT v1.5.1.3 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.1.2
--------------------
* Bugfixes
- git-add tried to optimize by finding common leading
directories across its arguments but botched, causing very
confused behaviour.
- unofficial rpm.spec file shipped with git was letting
ETC_GITCONFIG set to /usr/etc/gitconfig. Tweak the official
Makefile to make it harder for distro people to make the
same mistake, by setting the variable to /etc/gitconfig if
prefix is set to /usr.
- git-svn inconsistently stripped away username from the URL
only when svnsync_props was in use.
- git-svn got confused when handling symlinks on Mac OS.
- git-send-email was not quoting recipient names that have
period '.' in them. Also it did not allow overriding
envelope sender, which made it impossible to send patches to
certain subscriber-only lists.
- built-in write_tree() routine had a sequence that renamed a
file that is still open, which some systems did not like.
- when memory is very tight, sliding mmap code to read
packfiles incorrectly closed the fd that was still being
used to read the pack.
- import-tars contributed front-end for fastimport was passing
wrong directory modes without checking.
- git-fastimport trusted its input too much and allowed to
create corrupt tree objects with entries without a name.
- git-fetch needlessly barfed when too long reflog action
description was given by the caller.
Also contains various documentation updates.
GIT v1.5.1.2 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.1.1
--------------------
* Bugfixes
- "git clone" over http from a repository that has lost the
loose refs by running "git pack-refs" were broken (a code to
deal with this was added to "git fetch" in v1.5.0, but it
was missing from "git clone").
- "git diff a/ b/" incorrectly fell in "diff between two
filesystem objects" codepath, when the user most likely
wanted to limit the extent of output to two tracked
directories.
- git-quiltimport had the same bug as we fixed for
git-applymbox in v1.5.1.1 -- it gave an alarming "did not
have any patch" message (but did not actually fail and was
harmless).
- various git-svn fixes.
- Sample update hook incorrectly always refused requests to
delete branches through push.
- git-blame on a very long working tree path had buffer
overrun problem.
- git-apply did not like to be fed two patches in a row that created
and then modified the same file.
- git-svn was confused when a non-project was stored directly under
trunk/, branches/ and tags/.
- git-svn wants the Error.pm module that was at least as new
as what we ship as part of git; install ours in our private
installation location if the one on the system is older.
- An earlier update to command line integer parameter parser was
botched and made 'update-index --cacheinfo' completely useless.
* Documentation updates
- Various documentation updates from J. Bruce Fields, Frank
Lichtenheld, Alex Riesen and others. Andrew Ruder started a
war on undocumented options.
GIT v1.5.1.1 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.1
------------------
* Documentation updates
- The --left-right option of rev-list and friends is documented.
- The documentation for cvsimport has been majorly improved.
- "git-show-ref --exclude-existing" was documented.
* Bugfixes
- The implementation of -p option in "git cvsexportcommit" had
the meaning of -C (context reduction) option wrong, and
loosened the context requirements when it was told to be
strict.
- "git cvsserver" did not behave like the real cvsserver when
client side removed a file from the working tree without
doing anything else on the path. In such a case, it should
restore it from the checked out revision.
- "git fsck" issued an alarming error message on detached
HEAD. It is not an error since at least 1.5.0.
- "git send-email" produced of References header of unbounded length;
fixed this with line-folding.
- "git archive" to download from remote site should not
require you to be in a git repository, but it incorrectly
did.
- "git apply" ignored -p<n> for "diff --git" formatted
patches.
- "git rerere" recorded a conflict that had one side empty
(the other side adds) incorrectly; this made merging in the
other direction fail to use previously recorded resolution.
- t4200 test was broken where "wc -l" pads its output with
spaces.
- "git branch -m old new" to rename branch did not work
without a configuration file in ".git/config".
- The sample hook for notification e-mail was misnamed.
- gitweb did not show type-changing patch correctly in the
blobdiff view.
- git-svn did not error out with incorrect command line options.
- git-svn fell into an infinite loop when insanely long commit
message was found.
- git-svn dcommit and rebase was confused by patches that were
merged from another branch that is managed by git-svn.
- git-svn used to get confused when globbing remote branch/tag
spec (e.g. "branches = proj/branches/*:refs/remotes/origin/*")
is used and there was a plain file that matched the glob.
GIT v1.5.0.7 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.0.6
--------------------
* Bugfixes
- git-upload-pack failed to close unused pipe ends, resulting
in many zombies to hang around.
- git-rerere was recording the contents of earlier hunks
duplicated in later hunks. This prevented resolving the same
conflict when performing the same merge the other way around.
* Documentation
- a few documentation fixes from Debian package maintainer.
GIT v1.5.0.6 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.0.5
--------------------
* Bugfixes
- a handful small fixes to gitweb.
- build procedure for user-manual is fixed not to require locally
installed stylesheets.
- "git commit $paths" on paths whose earlier contents were
already updated in the index were failing out.
* Documentation
- user-manual has better cross references.
- gitweb installation/deployment procedure is now documented.
GIT v1.5.0.5 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.0.3
--------------------
* Bugfixes
- git-merge (hence git-pull) did not refuse fast-forwarding
when the working tree had local changes that would have
conflicted with it.
- git.el does not add duplicate sign-off lines.
- git-commit shows the full stat of the resulting commit, not
just about the files in the current directory, when run from
a subdirectory.
- "git-checkout -m '@{8 hours ago}'" had a funny failure from
eval; fixed.
- git-gui updates.
* Documentation updates
* User manual updates
GIT v1.5.0.4 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.5.0.3
--------------------
* Bugfixes
- git.el does not add duplicate sign-off lines.
- git-commit shows the full stat of the resulting commit, not
just about the files in the current directory, when run from
a subdirectory.
- "git-checkout -m '@{8 hours ago}'" had a funny failure from
eval; fixed.
- git-gui updates.
* Documentation updates
* User manual updates
