The latest maintenance release GIT 1.5.6.2 are available at the usual places: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ git-1.5.6.2.tar.{gz,bz2} (source tarball) git-htmldocs-1.5.6.2.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) ... [More] git-manpages-1.5.6.2.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are also provided as courtesy. As the machine I cut them at kernel.org has been updated to FC9 recently, their filenames now have .fc9. in them. RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.5.6.2-1.fc9.$arch.rpm (RPM) There still are a handful more fixes queued for 'maint' so we might see another maintenance release, 1.5.6.3, not too far in the future. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.5.6.1 are as follows: Avery Pennarun (1): git-svn: avoid filling up the disk with temp files. Björn Steinbrink (1): git cat-file: Fix memory leak in batch mode Eric Wong (1): git-svn: don't sanitize remote names in config Jeff King (3): fetch: report local storage errors in status table doc/rev-parse: clarify reflog vs --until for specifying revisions fetch: give a hint to the user when local refs fail to update Jochen Voss (1): avoid off-by-one error in run_upload_archive Joey Hess (1): fix git config example syntax Johannes Schindelin (2): clone: respect url.insteadOf setting in global configs clone: respect the settings in $HOME/.gitconfig and /etc/gitconfig Junio C Hamano (9): Allow "git-reset path" when unambiguous diff --check: do not discard error status upon seeing a good line git-shell: accept "git foo" form GIT 1.5.4.6 GIT 1.5.5.5 Start draft release notes for 1.5.6.2 Work around gcc warnings from curl headers Fix executable bits in t/ scripts GIT 1.5.6.2 Shawn O.

[More] git-manpages-1.5.6.1.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.5.6.1-1.$arch.rpm (RPM) GIT v1.5.6.1 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.5.6 ------------------ * Last minute change broke loose object creation on AIX. * (performance fix) We used to make $GIT_DIR absolute path early in the programs but keeping it relative to the current directory internally gives 1-3 per-cent performance boost. * bash completion knows the new --graph option to git-log family. * git-diff -c/--cc showed unnecessary "deletion" lines at the context boundary. * git-for-each-ref ignored %(object) and %(type) requests for tag objects. * git-merge usage had a typo. * Rebuilding of git-svn metainfo database did not take rewriteRoot option into account. * Running "git-rebase --continue/--skip/--abort" before starting a rebase gave nonsense error messages. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.5.6 are as follows: Brandon Casey (2): git-merge.sh: fix typo in usage message: sucesses --> succeeds t7502-commit.sh: test_must_fail doesn't work with inline environment variables Dan McGee (1): completion: add --graph to log command completion Dmitry Potapov (1): fix update-hook-example to work with packed tag references Jan Krüger (2): Documentation: fix formatting in git-svn git-svn: make rebuild respect rewriteRoot option Jeff King (2): for-each-ref: implement missing tag values clone: create intermediate directories of destination repo Junio C Hamano (2): diff -c/--cc: do not include uninteresting deletion before leading context GIT 1.5.6.1 Linus Torvalds (1): Make git_dir a path relative to work_tree in setup_work_tree() Michele Ballabio (1): parse-options.c: fix documentation syntax of optional arguments Patrick Higgins (1): Workaround for AIX mkstemp() Stephan Beyer (4): git-rebase.sh: Add check if rebase is in progress api-builtin.txt: update and fix typo api-parse-options.txt: Introduce documentation for parse options API Extend parse-options test suite -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html [Less]

The latest feature release GIT 1.5.6 is available at the usual places: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ git-1.5.6.tar.{gz,bz2} (tarball) git-htmldocs-1.5.6.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs) git-manpages-1.5.6.tar.{gz,bz2} ... [More] (preformatted docs) RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.5.6-1.$arch.rpm (RPM) As promised, this cycle was short and the release is with only relatively small impact changes. ---------------------------------------------------------------- GIT v1.5.6 Release Notes ======================== Updates since v1.5.5 -------------------- (subsystems) * Comes with updated gitk and git-gui. (portability) * git will build on AIX better than before now. * core.ignorecase configuration variable can be used to work better on filesystems that are not case sensitive. * "git init" now autodetects the case sensitivity of the filesystem and sets core.ignorecase accordingly. * cpio is no longer used; neither "curl" binary (libcurl is still used). (documentation) * Many freestanding documentation pages have been converted and made available to "git help" (aka "man git") as section 7 of the manual pages. This means bookmarks to some HTML documentation files may need to be updated (eg "tutorial.html" became "gittutorial.html"). (performance) * "git clone" was rewritten in C. This will hopefully help cloning a repository with insane number of refs. * "git rebase --onto $there $from $branch" used to switch to the tip of $branch only to immediately reset back to $from, smudging work tree files unnecessarily. This has been optimized. * Object creation codepath in "git-svn" has been optimized by enhancing plumbing commands git-cat-file and git-hash-object. (usability, bells and whistles) * "git add -p" (and the "patch" subcommand of "git add -i") can choose to apply (or not apply) mode changes independently from contents changes. * "git bisect help" gives longer and more helpful usage information. * "git bisect" does not use a special branch "bisect" anymore; instead, it does its work on a detached HEAD. * "git branch" (and "git checkout -b") can be told to set up branch..rebase automatically, so that later you can say "git pull" and magically cause "git pull --rebase" to happen. * "git branch --merged" and "git branch --no-merged" can be used to list branches that have already been merged (or not yet merged) to the current branch. * "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can add a sign-off. * "git commit" mentions the author identity when you are committing somebody else's changes. * "git diff/log --dirstat" output is consistent between binary and textual changes. * "git filter-branch" rewrites signed tags by demoting them to annotated. * "git format-patch --no-binary" can produce a patch that lack binary changes (i.e. cannot be used to propagate the whole changes) meant only for reviewing. * "git init --bare" is a synonym for "git --bare init" now. * "git gc --auto" honors a new pre-auto-gc hook to temporarily disable it. * "git log --pretty=tformat:" gives a LF after each entry, instead of giving a LF between each pair of entries which is how "git log --pretty=format:" works. * "git log" and friends learned the "--graph" option to show the ancestry graph at the left margin of the output. * "git log" and friends can be told to use date format that is different from the default via 'log.date' configuration variable. * "git send-email" now can send out messages outside a git repository. * "git send-email --compose" was made aware of rfc2047 quoting. * "git status" can optionally include output from "git submodule summary". * "git svn" learned --add-author-from option to propagate the authorship by munging the commit log message. * new object creation and looking up in "git svn" has been optimized. * "gitweb" can read from a system-wide configuration file. (internal) * "git unpack-objects" and "git receive-pack" is now more strict about detecting breakage in the objects they receive over the wire.

Stacked GIT 0.14.3 release is available from http://www.procode.org/stgit/. StGIT is a Python application providing similar functionality to Quilt (i.e. pushing/popping patches to/from a stack) on top of GIT. These operations are performed using GIT ... [More] commands and the patches are stored as GIT commit objects, allowing easy merging of the StGIT patches into other repositories using standard GIT functionality. This is a maintenance release including bug-fixes for the "refresh" command, handling of file names with non-ASCII characters and user interface enhancements for "export" and "sync".

The official posting can be seen at http://pyrite.sophiasuchtig.com/2008/04/announce-001prealpha.html Hey Everyone, I am proud to announce the first pre-release of Pyrite 0.01prealpha. You can pull from git://gitorious.org/pyrite/mainline.git or ... [More] http://git.gitorious.org/pyrite/mainline.git ( I think I will use gitorious for hosting since tuxfamily doesn't have an http clones, although I will sort-of miss the RSS feed). Why such a timid name? This is because it has taken me longer than I wanted to reach a point where I felt others could reasonably use and contribute to the project. There is still much work to be done before it is ready for a general purpose release. However, I need to see if people are really interested in both helping develop and, more importantly, using Pyrite and I feel that getting a release out there will help me gauge that. When I started this project, I had a good idea of what I wanted to accomplish but I wasn't entirely sure how I would do it. At this point I have an idea of how the interface should be presented and I will work to get it right. I hope people will have input on what improvements they would like to see to the UI. Other things that I want to do before making a general purpose release is to tie up some loose ends like proper rebasing and a graphical merge tool (at least support for external merge tools). That's just the tip of the iceberg though since I have plans to also do a gui and a web interface. Feel free to contact me about this if you are interested in using, testing or developing.

Hello, So you want to convert to git from svn but have an anonymous userbase pulling from svn and/or tools that uses svn that you can't convert. Use git2svn to convert the "git fast-export" dump into a svn dump and load it into a new fresh svn ... [More] repository. git2svn also supports incremental updates. git2svn was tested on heimdal/master and samba/v3-2-test during the development so it should work on semi large repositories. http://repo.or.cz/w/git2svn.git Please send any bug reports and comments to [email protected] README: This program will convert a git branch to a svn ditto, it also support incremental updates. git2svn takes a git fast-export dump and converts it into a svn dump that is feed into svnadmin load. git2svn assumes its the only process that writes into the svn repository. This is because of the race between getting the to svn Revsion number from the svn, creating the dump with correct Revsions, and do the svnadmin load. git2svn also support incremental updates from a git branch to a svn reprositry. Its does this by setting a git tag (git2svn-syncpoint-branchname) where the last update was pulled from.
