With the option turned on, Git 2.29 forgot to\ninstall a few programs in /usr/bin that made it unusable as the\nserver side to accept pushes and fetches.\n\nTo everybody else, this release is irrelevant and ignorable.  We\nknow about at least one other brown-paper-bag regression we are\ngoing to fix with another maintenance release, so it may be a better\nidea to wait for 2.29.2 for most people.\n\nThe tarballs are found at:\n\n    https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/\n\nThe following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.29.1'\ntag and the 'maint' branch that the tag points at:\n\n  url = https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git\n  url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git\n  url = https://github.com/gitster/git\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nGit v2.29.1 Release Notes\n=========================\n\nThis is to fix the build procedure change in 2.29 where we failed\nto install a few programs that should be installed in /usr/bin\n(namely, receive-pack, upload-archive and upload-pack) when the\nnon-default SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS installation option is in effect.\n\nA minor glitch in a non-default installation may usually not deserve\na hotfix, but I think Git for Windows ship binaries built with this\noption, so let's make an exception.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nChanges since v2.29.0 are as follows:\n\nJohannes Schindelin (1):\n      SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS: do not skip the bin/ programs\n\nJunio C Hamano (1):\n      Git 2.29.1\n\n"}]}
