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. --=20 Eric Blake volunteer cygwin git maintainer CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO: =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=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D To unsubscribe to the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.

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 " gave an error message that was not so useful. Reworded the message to " 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. --------------050906030202050708030800-- --------------enig494C57F904D0DE5033985AC3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJMKNv9AAoJEKeha0olJ0NqJscH/35YBAzJBPfcMosJLW0LM5rQ coa46BAmI9P7XxHsdQ9/uSIQiXi5Si66uBv4O4h6zH/h1CLl8dKhGN5WdFduQckP fZnS7do0mfamHPNxuXRpQbm1FgxnvkN4OgKvTHbQUOsQhKT7TuFNKZrI69xwxGBk PvnTXQ8MTPefm/A5GQ9yLgOp1dYyi05fGw3bt536FPbJuWTUC/oFBEJe1w6wWf+y jNTwEZirCgbajymBXNlYikF5IaAYDDETYZhd3MzHM5insKmGedUwWgmsxfXaq/lb 5j8ItwmI6gNYFqRaE7OQfkaKUSJzSOKL+rEa1z6ZBdNbNBlC2QgL03cFpSCzyNg= =7RXF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig494C57F904D0DE5033985AC3--
