You can either cherry-pick that range, or just use "git diff" to generate a patch. However, for Debian, I don't see much point. Everything up through unstable does not have the bug (it is all 1.7.10.x or older), and the version in experimental is already 1.8.3. So as far as I can tell, no Debian release is currently shipping a buggy version. -Peff -- 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
