* The fourth minor fix release, GIT 0.99.7d, is available at the
usual places.
RPMs and Debs are found in http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/
With git:
$ git fetch http://kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git tag v0.99.7d
$ git checkout -b <new-branch> v0.99.7d
Fixes since 0.99.7c are:
- Fix show-branch output that named commits incorrectly.
- Fix git-grep -e not passing -e to underlying grep.
* Recent updates to the master branch includes:
- The GIT_VERSION is now 0.99.7.GIT (thanks Pasky for the
idea). - The symlinks for backward compatible names are not installed
anymore (but existing ones are not automatically removed). - git-diff-* family acquired a new option, --name-status, to
show the status and name for changed files. Also -l<num>
option disables rename/copy detection when the number of
rename target candidates are more than <num> (idea by Linus
some time ago).* Proposed updates, not yet graduated to the master branch
includes:
- git-merge fix, not to require a clean tree.
- Likewise for git-revert and git-cherry-pick fix, not to
require a clean tree. - Use git-merge from git-pull, again.
- A couple of test fixes for further Solaris portability.
- update-index takes -z --stdin to read NUL terminated list of
paths from the standard input instead of from the command
line. This is to help platforms with xargs that cannot grok
-0. git-commit is updated to use this.
