Jonas FonsecaHello,
It's time for another release of tig, this one tagged as a minor update focusing mainly on bug fixes. There are, however, also a few nice usability improvements, such as support for reverting uncommitted and unstaged changes and reloading of repository references when refreshing the views using them. Note that this version of tig depends on git version 1.5.4 or newer!
In the pipeline, I have a scary patch containing 859 insertions and 462 deletions, which I plan to release as the equally scary version 0.13. The patch imports git's run-command.c module, which should remove problems related to using stdio and will also remove the need to do nasty things such as shell quoting. This is still a work in progress and needs some more polishing and testing, but should anybody be interested, it is available in the wip/run-command branch (to be rebased at will).
What is tig? ------------ Tig is an ncurses-based text-mode interface for git. It functions mainly as a git repository browser, but can also assist in staging changes for commit at chunk level and act as a pager for output from various git commands.

Release notes ------------- Improvements:
- Status view: revert uncommitted diff chunks and unstaged files with changes. Bound to '!' by default. - Main view: use --topo-order also when rev-list arguments are given on the command line. - Log view: support for refreshing.
Bug fixes:
- Status view: use ls-files' --exclude-standard so user specific ignore rules are effective. The option was added in git version 1.5.4. - Stage view: fix assertion failure triggered when updating while status view is not displayed. - Help view: avoid confusion by showing "(no key)" instead of "'?'" for unbound requests. - Reload repository references when refreshing the main (and log) view. - Do not maximize views when refreshing.
