It's tagged and pushed out to both kernel.org and repo.or.cz. Thanks, Nico.
I won't be doing my usual full release engineering on this one, but I did:
- repack a copy of git.git to use pack idx version #2 for trial.
Hint. A handy way to tell which version of packfile you have is
to run this:
$ od -c .git/objects/pack/pack-$your_pack_id.idx | head -n 1
If the output begins with "377 t 0 c", you have pack idx version
#2.
- check "git log" from v1.4.4.4 (fails) and v1.4.4.5 (reads ok)
- repack this copy with "git repack" from 1.4.4.5. This produced a
repository usable by v1.4.4.4.
I also updated /pub/scm/git/git.git/config at kernel.org to use
[pack]
indexVersion = 1
for now. The repository is also repacked with pack idx version #1.
