A new release of git, 1.7.1-1, has been uploaded, and will be
available for use when your mirror catches up.  This leaves 1.7.0.4-2 as
previous.

NEWS:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
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:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
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:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
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:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
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:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.

Git v1.7.1 Release Notes
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Updates since v1.7.0
--------------------

 * Eric Raymond is the maintainer of updated CIAbot scripts, in contrib/.

 * gitk updates.

 * Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively ask
   for a password can be told to use an external program given via
   GIT_ASKPASS.

 * Conflict markers that lead the common ancestor in diff3-style output
   now have a label, which hopefully would help third-party tools that
   expect one.

 * Comes with an updated bash-completion script.

 * "git am" learned "--keep-cr" option to handle inputs that are
   a mixture of changes to files with and without CRLF line endings.

 * "git cvsimport" learned -R option to leave revision mapping between
   CVS revisions and resulting git commits.

 * "git diff --submodule" notices and describes dirty submodules.

 * "git for-each-ref" learned %(symref), %(symref:short) and %(flag)
   tokens.

 * "git hash-object --stdin-paths" can take "--no-filters" option now.

 * "git init" can be told to look at init.templatedir configuration
   variable (obviously that has to come from either /etc/gitconfig or
   $HOME/.gitconfig).

 * "git grep" learned "--no-index" option, to search inside contents that
   are not managed by git.

 * "git grep" learned --color=3Dauto/always/never.

 * "git grep" learned to paint filename and line-number in colors.

 * "git log -p --first-parent -m" shows one-parent diff for merge
   commits, instead of showing combined diff.

 * "git merge-file" learned to use custom conflict marker size and also
   to use the "union merge" behaviour.

 * "git notes" command has been rewritten in C and learned many commands
   and features to help you carry notes forward across rebases and amends.

 * "git request-pull" identifies the commit the request is relative to in
   a more readable way.

 * "git reset" learned "--keep" option that lets you discard commits
   near the tip while preserving your local changes in a way similar
   to how "git checkout branch" does.

 * "git status" notices and describes dirty submodules.

 * "git svn" should work better when interacting with repositories
   with CRLF line endings.

 * "git imap-send" learned to support CRAM-MD5 authentication.

 * "gitweb" installation procedure can use "minified" js/css files
   better.

 * Various documentation updates.

Fixes since v1.7.0
------------------

All of the fixes in v1.7.0.X maintenance series are included in this
release, unless otherwise noted.

 * "git add frotz/nitfol" did not complain when the entire frotz/ directory
   was ignored.

 * "git diff --stat" used "int" to count the size of differences,
   which could result in overflowing.

 * "git rev-list --pretty=3Doneline" didn't terminate a record with LF for
   commits without any message.

 * "git rev-list --abbrev-commit" defaulted to 40-byte abbreviations, unlike
   newer tools in the git toolset.

Git v1.7.0.6 Release Notes
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D

Fixes since v1.7.0.5
--------------------

 * "git diff --stat" used "int" to count the size of differences,
   which could result in overflowing.

 * "git rev-list --abbrev-commit" defaulted to 40-byte abbreviations, unlike
   newer tools in the git toolset.

And other minor fixes and documentation updates.

Git v1.7.0.5 Release Notes
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D

Fixes since v1.7.0.4
--------------------

 * "git daemon" failed to compile on platforms without sockaddr_storage typ=
e.

 * Output from "git rev-list --pretty=3Doneline" was unparsable when a
   commit did not have any message, which is abnormal but possible in a
   repository converted from foreign scm.

 * "git stash show <commit-that-is-not-a-stash>" gave an error message
   that was not so useful.  Reworded the message to "<it> is not a
   stash".

 * Python scripts in contrib/ area now start with "#!/usr/bin/env python"
   to honor user's PATH.

 * "git imap-send" used to mistake any line that begins with "From " as a
   message separator in format-patch output.

 * Smart http server backend failed to report an internal server error and
   infinitely looped instead after output pipe was closed.

And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
