TopGit 0.5 released

Dear everyone,

I have the pleasure to announce TopGit 0.5, hopefully taking some load of Petr's shoulders. I am sorry for the delay, I have myself been swamped with work lately.

This release features a number of fixes and enhancements, including

  - Jonas' bash completion,
  - the tg-summary -t option (output just branch names),
  - tg-summary --graphviz to create dot graphs
  - tg-import -s to name commits and -d to specify base dependencies explicitly, 
  - tg-mail -r to generate an In-Reply-To header

Please refer to the shortlog below for more information.

Let me use the opportunity to bring http://vcs-pkg.org to your attention. If you are using Git for distro packaging, maybe we could work together.

TopGit is meant as a fresh start in the steps of StGIT, quilt-in-git and others, of course in an attempt to Get It Right this time around. TopGit is a minimal porcelain layer that will manage your patch queue using topic branches, one patch per branch, never rewriting the history in order to enable a fully distributed workflow.

You can get TopGit at

  http://repo.or.cz/w/topgit.git

and read up on its design, usage and implementation at:

  http://repo.or.cz/w/topgit.git?a=blob;f=README

A tarball will become available on the Debian mirrors as /debian/pool/main/t/topgit/topgit_0.5.orig.tar.gz as soon as I find time to upload to the Debian archive, hopefully this week. You can also obtain the tarball from the repo's pristine-tar[0] branch:

  pristine-tar checkout ../topgit_0.5.orig.tar.gz
