Do they? I haven't been to the git web site in quite a long time. Nor
have I been to (for example) the vim web site. The two things I would
personally notice are:
- a note during upgrade of my system's packages. And this is going to
be dependent on the packaging system used. 1.6.0 hasn't hit many
distributions yet, so maybe there is still time for this. Gerrit,
do you mind putting something into NEWS.Debian about the drop of
"git-*" so that people with apt-listchanges will see it?
For people building from source, we have the Release Notes, but
beyond that, I don't know where to put it (and I don't meant the web
site is a bad place -- the more places the better, but there is no
catch-all place).
- the command complaining that my use of it is deprecated. In
retrospect, we probably should have done this.
