The latest maintenance release Git 1.7.4.3 is available at the usual places: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ git-1.7.4.3.tar.{gz,bz2} (source tarball) git-htmldocs-1.7.4.3.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) git-manpages-1.7.4.3.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are found in: RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.7.4.3-1.fc13.$arch.rpm (RPM) Git v1.7.4.3 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.7.4.2 -------------------- * "git apply" used to confuse lines updated by previous hunks as lines that existed before when applying a hunk, contributing misapplication of patches with offsets. * "git branch --track" (and "git checkout --track --branch") used to allow setting up a random non-branch that does not make sense to follow as the "upstream". The command correctly diagnoses it as an error. * "git checkout $other_branch" silently removed untracked symbolic links in the working tree that are in the way in order to check out paths under it from the named branch. * "git cvsimport" did not bail out immediately when the cvs server cannot be reached, spewing unnecessary error messages that complain about the server response that it never got. * "git diff --quiet" did not work very well with the "--diff-filter" option. * "git grep -n" lacked a long-hand synonym --line-number. * "git stash apply" reported the result of its operation by running "git status" from the top-level of the working tree; it should (and now does) run it from the user's working directory. And other minor fixes and documentation updates. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.7.4.2 are as follows: Alex Riesen (1): HOME must be set before calling git-init when creating test repositories Carlos MartÃn Nieto (1): Documentation/config.txt: make truth value of numbers more explicit Clemens Buchacher (1): do not overwrite untracked symlinks Fabian Keil (1): git-cvsimport.perl: Bail out right away when reading from the server fails Jeff King (1): docs: fix filter-branch subdir example for exotic repo names Joe Ratterman (1): grep: Add the option '--line-number' Johan Herland (1): branch/checkout --track: Ensure that upstream branch is indeed a branch Johannes Sixt (3): Demonstrate breakage: checkout overwrites untracked symlink with directory stash: fix incorrect quoting in cleanup of temporary files stash: copy the index using --index-output instead of cp -p Junio C Hamano (9): checkout: fix bug with ambiguous refs apply: do not patch lines that were already patched apply -v: show offset count when patch did not apply exactly diff --quiet: disable optimization when --diff-filter=X is used doc: technical details about the index file format t8001: check the exit status of the command being tested parse-remote: typofix Doc: mention --delta-base-offset is the default for Porcelain commands Git 1.7.4.3 Maxin john (1): contrib/thunderbird-patch-inline: do not require bash to run the script Michael J Gruber (2): git-bisect.txt: streamline run presentation git-bisect.txt: example for bisecting with hot-fix Michael Witten (3): git tag documentation grammar fixes and readability updates Typos: t/README strbuf.h: remove a tad stale docs-in-comment and reference api-doc instead Nguyán ThÃi Ngác Duy (1): doc: technical details about the index file format Piotr Krukowiecki (2): git stash: show status relative to current directory Add test: git stash shows status relative to current dir Stephen Boyd (2): parse-remote: replace unnecessary sed invocation git-pack-objects.txt: fix grammatical errors -- 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
