Yes.  It goes by the number 204.

Oh, and it is fixed, and the fix will be part of the next release.

There are a few things holding up a new release:

- there has been a bug report about "WARNING: terminal is not fully 
  functional" that I do not understand yet,

- there has been a bug report that adjust_perm() fails while cloning, and 
  I do not understand that either,

- Hannes was busy with fixing the test suite, and I am not decided yet if 
  I'd rather wait with Git-1.6.2.1-preview, or not, and

- there have been a lot of duplicate bug reports that are taking my scarce 
  time away from preparing the release. :-)

Ciao, Dscho
