[ANNOUNCE] Cogito-0.16.1

  Hello,

  this is Cogito version 0.16.1, the next stable release of the
human-friendly version control UI for the Linus' GIT tool. Share
and enjoy at:

	http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/cogito/

  This crispy new release gives you a few minor to medium bugfixes and
a significant cg-patch speedup. You can reach it as the "v0.16" branch
of the Cogito repository. Note that this is just the stable branch, more
interesting stuff is happenning (and especially going to happen) on the
master development branch; if everything goes well, I might release
cogito-0.17rc1 at the end of this week).

  So the new stuff since 0.16 is:

Jonas Fonseca:
      cg-merge: Improve the hook description
      cg-status: handle subdirs when listing heads

Petr Baudis:
      Fix cg-admin-setuprepo warning on missing post-update hook
      Initial cg-push to a remote branch wouldn't work properly
      Fix cg-object-id <singleletter>
      Fix unsafe sed usage in scripts
      cg-clean -n will just pretend to remove stuff
      Make cg-clean whitespace-safe
	If you use filenames with spaces _and_ cg-clean (or cg-clean
	at all, after all), you should certainly upgrade!
      bash-3.1-related fixes
      Fix broken cg-log FILE in subdirectory
      Drastically speed up cg-patch
      cogito-0.16.1

  Happy hacking,

Dear diary, on Mon, Dec 12, 2005 at 02:12:10AM CET, I got a letter where Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> said that...

  By the way, did anyone receive the 0.16 announcement? I have it in my
=sent mailbox, but not in either the git@ or linux-kernel@ mailboxes...
*perplexed*

  Thanks,

I see the 0.16 RC1 and RC2 mails, but not the 0.16 announcement. When didn't you send it?

The help from cg-admin-setuprepo say it will create the repo in the given directory, but doesn't say it must create the directory.

  $ mkdir ~/test
  $ cg-admin-setuprepo ~/test
  cg-admin-setuprepo: /home/dickson/test already exists

There seems to be a missing step in the help instructions:

  $ cg-admin-setuprepo ~/test/test1
  $ cg-push
  cg-push: where to push to?

Good point. I've added it to the description.

You need to first add the remote branch to your local repository by the

	cg-branch-add origin ~/test/test1

command. I've added it to the instructions.

Thanks,

Can the -help argument be supported too? It's pretty annoying to end up typing -help and having that used as a tag or commit.

Any chance of man files?  I'm more use to type man than cg-help.

How about giving instructions in the edited commit message about how to abort the commit. I've figured out you can just delete all the referenced files, but this was just by accident. (0.15.1) I had my emacs segfault and that commit was performed too.

Any chance a creating a very simple cg-mv? Having to switch is a lower level (git) to perform this function takes time (verifying the functionality).

Is there a cogito equivalent of "git-branch foo"? It seems cg-branch-add does everything but that.

Both -h and --help is supported. -help should always yield "unknown argument", but supporting it directly would be inconsistent and might make the users think that they can actually use that for all the long arguments.

You can make the man files by

	make doc

and install them by

	make install-doc

This isn't done by default so that you won't need asciidoc for the build. This is exactly the same way in GIT.

Thanks for the idea:

+[ "$commitalways" ] && echo "CG: Do not save this file and just quit if
	you want to abort the commit." >>$LOGMSG

Yes. That's planned for 0.17, and I have the patch in my queue.

cg-switch, but it's not in 0.16. It's in the 0.17pre git tree and will be in 0.17.

See my messages about 0.99.9m and xmlto (and asciidoc). They are currently required for building the RPMs. Perhaps the spec file needs updating.

Thanks for the peek into your input queue.

But the spec file also makes the 'doc' and 'install-doc' targets. When you act as a packager, asciidoc becomes a reasonable build-time requirement.

My mistake. They weren't part of the 15.1 RPM and I didn't check after I installed 16.1. They are there now.
