Subject: [ANNOUNCE] GIT MinGW port is now at v1.5.3-rc4
Message-ID: <46C41C49.A92AEF07@eudaptics.com>

I've just pushed an update of the MinGW port to:

clone:  git://repo.or.cz/git/mingw.git
gitweb: http://repo.or.cz/w/git/mingw.git

This passes the test suite, but I still haven't used it in production.

There are two additional changes that are of interest for the msysgit
effort:

- The test scripts no longer accept --no-symlinks becaust test-lib.sh
auto-detects whether the file system supports symbolic links.

- The devel branch no longer patches out libiconv, which is now required
in the shipped configuration (the one from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libiconv.htm, which requires
the OLD_ICONV setting in the Makefile).
