The git-gui Times - Volume Zero Edition Eight Dot Three

Recent Shortages at git-gui Times --------------------------------- Unlike our sister publication ``The msysGit Herald'' the git-gui Times is published on an apple stem. To conserve bits and bites our editors try to use only short logs, as long logs are simply too expensive with today's rising paper costs.

maint ----- gitgui-0.8.3 has been tagged from the maint branch and published on repo.or.cz

and we continue to thank Pasky for his publishing services. The full list of changes since gitgui-0.8.2 (which shipped with git 1.5.3/1.5.3.1) is reprinted below:

  Gerrit Pape (1):
      git-gui: lib/index.tcl: handle files with % in the filename properly

  Michele Ballabio (2):
      git-gui: show unstaged symlinks in diff viewer
      git-gui: handle "deleted symlink" diff marker

  Shawn O. Pearce (13):
      git-gui: Correct starting of git-remote to handle -w option
      git-gui: Fix detaching current branch during checkout
      git-gui: Properly set the state of "Stage/Unstage Hunk" action
      git-gui: Disable Tk send in all git-gui sessions
      git-gui: Avoid use of libdir in Makefile
      git-gui: Assume untracked directories are Git submodules
      git-gui: Trim trailing slashes from untracked submodule names
      git-gui: Don't delete send on Windows as it doesn't exist
      git-gui: Make backporting changes from i18n version easier

      git-gui: Provide 'uninstall' Makefile target to undo an installation
      git-gui: Paper bag fix "Commit->Revert" format arguments
      git-gui: Disable native platform text selection in "lists"

We hope these will appear on a mainstream git near you.

master ------ In addition to the above fixes the master branch has collected a few items since the last edition of ``The git-gui Times''. The editors would not mind if this list was larger in the next edition, but can't promise anything in advance of it being typeset for publication. Letters to the editor in the form of patches are always welcome.
