The latest maintenance release GIT 1.6.2.3 is available at the usual places: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ git-1.6.2.3.tar.{gz,bz2} (source tarball) git-htmldocs-1.6.2.3.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) git-manpages-1.6.2.3.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are found in: RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.6.2.3-1.fc9.$arch.rpm (RPM) ---------------------------------------------------------------- GIT v1.6.2.3 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.6.2.2 -------------------- * Setting an octal mode value to core.sharedrepository configuration to restrict access to the repository to group members did not work as advertised. * A fairly large and trivial memory leak while rev-list shows list of reachable objects has been identified and plugged. * "git-commit --interactive" did not abort when underlying "git-add -i" signaled a failure. * git-repack (invoked from git-gc) did not work as nicely as it should in a repository that borrows objects from neighbours via alternates mechanism especially when some packs are marked with the ".keep" flag to prevent them from being repacked. Many small documentation updates are included as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.6.2.2 are as follows: Björn Steinbrink (1): process_{tree,blob}: Remove useless xstrdup calls Brandon Casey (6): t7700-repack: add two new tests demonstrating repacking flaws git-repack.sh: don't use --kept-pack-only option to pack-objects pack-objects: only repack or loosen objects residing in "local" packs Remove --kept-pack-only option and associated infrastructure t7700: demonstrate repack flaw which may loosen objects unnecessarily pack-objects: don't loosen objects available in alternate or kept packs Dan McGee (1): git-repack: use non-dashed update-server-info Daniel Cheng (aka SDiZ) (1): State the effect of filter-branch on graft explicitly Jari Aalto (1): Change double quotes to single quotes in message Jason Merrill (1): Documentation: clarify .gitattributes search Jeff King (2): t1301: loosen test for forced modes commit: abort commit if interactive add failed Johan Herland (1): Move chmod(foo, 0444) into move_temp_to_file() Julien Danjou (1): git submodule: fix usage line Junio C Hamano (12): git-repack: resist stray environment variable has_sha1_pack(): refactor "pretend these packs do not exist" interface has_sha1_kept_pack(): take "struct rev_info" Consolidate ignore_packed logic more Simplify is_kept_pack() is_kept_pack(): final clean-up diff --cached: do not borrow from a work tree when a path is marked as assume-unchanged "core.sharedrepository = 0mode" should set, not loosen move_temp_to_file(): do not forget to chmod() in "Coda hack" codepath set_shared_perm(): sometimes we know what the final mode bits should look like Start 1.6.2.3 preparation GIT 1.6.2.3 Linus Torvalds (1): process_{tree,blob}: Remove useless xstrdup calls Markus Heidelberg (1): doc/git-pack-refs: fix two grammar issues Matthieu Moy (3): git-checkout.txt: fix incorrect statement about HEAD and index git-checkout.txt: clarify that <branch> applies when no path is given. git-pull.sh: better warning message for "git pull" on detached head. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
