After installing and running some simple tests (some command line commands, git gui, gitk), everything seems to be working just fine. One minor detail that would be nice to get fixed is in the installer -- it forgets the some of choices I made last time I installed Git. The install path and icon creation is saved, but I need to select "Run from Windows command line" and "Use PLink" manually even though I selected them last time. -- \\// Peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ ``` ## Frederik Hohlfeld, 2008-09-22 10:18 Subject: Re: [CORRECTION] Git-1.6.0.2-preview20080921 on Windows Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/loom.20080922T101605-640%40post.gmane.org In-Reply-To: ``` Hi Peter Krefting softwolves.pp.se> writes: > > Steffen Prohaska: > > > Git-1.6.0.2-preview20080921 for Windows is available at > > http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads > > Thank you! > > After installing and running some simple tests (some command line > commands, git gui, gitk), everything seems to be working just fine. Do I understand it right, that this is also without working git-svn (or maybe even without git-svn at all)? Thanks anyway to the msysgit people for the new Windows build.

I get a dialog saying: This application has failed to start because msys-crypto-0.9.8.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem. I get this both when starting ssh manually, and when started from e.g. "git clone". Before installing the above version, I _uninstalled_ the previous version. If i _don't_ uninstall the previous version, and instead install this one on top of the old one, everything seems to work correctly. ...Johan -- Johan Herland, www.herland.net ``` ## Peter Krefting, 2008-09-23 05:08 Subject: Re: [CORRECTION] Git-1.6.0.2-preview20080921 on Windows Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/alpine.DEB.2.00.0809230606060.22061%40perkele.intern.softwolves.pp.se In-Reply-To: ``` Frederik Hohlfeld: > Do I understand it right, that this is also without working git-svn (or > maybe even without git-svn at all)? Yes, like the previous releases, git-svn is not included in the build. There is an older release availabe which has a git-svn in it, but it says that it doesn't quite work right. I guess it needs a volunteer to look at it and figure out how to fix it... -- \\// Peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ ``` ## Steffen Prohaska, 2008-09-23 06:09 Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Git-1.6.0.2-preview20080923 Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/B463062F-DD48-44A7-B2BB-8E5E0D177616%40zib.de In-Reply-To: <691F01A6-CA78-46DA-8388-C8339A3F0F04@zib.de> ``` On Sep 21, 2008, at 7:33 PM, Steffen Prohaska wrote: > Git-1.6.0.2-preview20080921 for Windows is available at > > http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads I updated the installer to Git-1.6.0.2-preview20080923.

Nah, that's the joy of being first to test software :-) Nothing broke, just a few things that didn't quite work as expected, so no worries.

No, that is too harsh. There is some meaning in the infix "preview", and given that you gave everybody (me included, I have to admit) the chance to work on this installer earlier, there is nothing to apologize for.
