It's been a week and a half, and here comes the -rc3 http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ git-1.5.0-rc3.tar.{gz,bz2} (tarball) git-htmldocs-1.5.0-rc3.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) git-manpages-1.5.0-rc3.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) testing/git-*-1.5.0-rc3-1.$arch.rpm (RPM) Hopefully this will be the last -rc before the final 1.5.0. This contains the "git user's manual" by J. Bruce Fields. While it still has its own "To Do" section, it has already been in a very good shape for some time, giving information with coherence and guiding a new user in a carefully chosen order of topics into much more pleasant git experience than before. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.5.0-rc2 are as follows: Alex Riesen (5): Insert ACTIVESTATE_STRING in Git.pm Force Activestate Perl to tie git command pipe handle to a handle class Cleanup uninitialized value in chomp Allow default core.logallrefupdates to be overridden with template's config Fix git-update-index to work with relative pathnames.
