The tarball is found at: http://code.google.com/p/git-core/downloads/list and its SHA-1 checksum is: c6ba05a833cab49dd66dd1e252306e187effbf2b git-1.7.7.rc3.tar.gz Also the following public repositories all have a copy of the v1.7.7-rc3 tag and the master branch that the tag points at: url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git url = https://code.google.com/p/git-core/ url = git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git url = git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core url = https://github.com/gitster/git I had to make a quick fix for a recent regression directly on master, and I would like to cook it for a few days, so the final has to wait til mid next week. Until then please help testing to find other regressions. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.7.7-rc2 are as follows: Allan Caffee (1): describe: Refresh the index when run with --dirty Jay Soffian (1): git-mergetool: check return value from read Jeff King (1): t4014: clean up format.thread config after each test Junio C Hamano (3): Git 1.7.6.4 merge-recursive: Do not look at working tree during a virtual ancestor merge Git 1.7.7-rc3 ``` ## Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason, 2011-09-26 12:47 Subject: Re: [ANNOUNCE] Git 1.7.7.rc3 Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CACBZZX77ZhdS1cyiYpjJcuvSnJsv15FUumPWeZOcwh_b41c2FQ%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <7vhb42su6f.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> ``` On Sat, Sep 24, 2011 at 01:41, Junio C Hamano wrote: > Also the following public repositories all have a copy of the v1.7.7-rc3 > tag and the master branch that the tag points at: The 1.7.7-rc* series still doesn't compile on older Red Hat machines because 4c1be38b4a236403a329187acb70591a7fd92150 hasn't been included in it. Could you please include that in the final 1.7.7? It would be a PITA to have to work around that. ``` ## Jakub Narebski, 2011-09-26 17:48 Subject: Re: [ANNOUNCE] Git 1.7.7.rc3 Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/m3bou7p542.fsf%40localhost.localdomain In-Reply-To: ``` Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason wrote: > On Sat, Sep 24, 2011 at 01:41, Junio C Hamano wrote: > > > Also the following public repositories all have a copy of the v1.7.7-rc3 > > tag and the master branch that the tag points at: > > The 1.7.7-rc* series still doesn't compile on older Red Hat machines > because 4c1be38b4a236403a329187acb70591a7fd92150 hasn't been included > in it. > > Could you please include that in the final 1.7.7?

Thanks for prodding. ```
