[ANNOUNCE] Cogito-0.17rc2

  Hello,

  here comes Cogito version 0.17rc1, the human-friendly version control
UI for Linus' GIT tool. Share and enjoy at:

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

  Few bugfixes and actually few minor features compared to 0.17rc1.
You're encouraged to upgrade if you are using 0.17rc2. I am receiving
less bugreports than what I have expected, which either means there are
no bugs (hah!) or that noone cares about the rcs (more likely). So if
there will be no bugreports in two or three days, I'll make this the
final 0.17.

  The notable new stuff includes:

  * cg-clean -d fix (do not clean the contents of untracked directories)
  * cg-log -d renamed to cg-log -D, please fix your scripts and retrain
    your fingers if you actually use it regularily
  * cg-commit -M to load the commit message from a file
  * cg-commit -f will commit even if you are seeked

  * Fix repeated cg-seek <commit> invocations
  * Fix pushing to symlinked repositories (it was racy before and would
    not deal appropriately with permissions)

  * Random documentation improvements

$ cg-log --summary -r cogito-0.17rc1..
Jonas Fonseca:
      cg-commit: use -- to delimit paths args to git-diff-index for --review
      cg-status: pretty-print heads using printf
      Add warn function which can beep; use it to generalise warnings

Pavel Roskin:
      [PATCH 1/2] cg-clean shouldn't clean untracked directories without -d
      [PATCH 2/2] Workaround git < 1.2.0 ignoring .gitignore in parent directories

Petr Baudis:

      Fix shortdesc.
      Rename cg-log -d to cg-log -D
      Network together the cg-switch,cg-seek,cg-admin-uncommit docs
      Refuse to uncommit merges, redirect the user to cg-switch
      Simplify the editor testing code
      Warn about seeking to a branch head
      cg-commit -M to take the commit message from a file
      cg-commit -f will override cg-seek's blocking
      Hint cg-switch -n to save the volatile commit
      Automatically determine cg-status headname column width
      Fix cg-seek re-seeking
      Remove the obsolete umask mention
      Fix pushing to symlinked repositories

  Happy hacking,

This fixes "make rpm", which currently gives at the very end:
...
Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /var/tmp/cogito-0.17rc2.GIT-1-root-weidendo
error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
   /usr/share/cogito/default-exclude

Another thing: "cg-switch origin" currently refuses to switch to the branch. Wouldn't it be better to handle this like "cg-seek origin"?

Dear diary, on Thu, Feb 16, 2006 at 04:33:44PM CET, I got a letter where Josef Weidendorfer <Josef.Weidendorfer@gmx.de> said that...

Thanks, applied.

Well, it depends on what you expect this to actually do. If you really want to just seek to whichever is the current origin commit, that's very different from what cg-switch does - you want cg-seek and cg-switch doing the same thing when it does something totally different from the user POV otherwise would be very confusing.

I just used it to check if you already fixed this issue yourself. I known I should have used cg-seek, but I thought cg-switch should allow me to do the same - I did not need to remember where I come from.

So perhaps it would be good to hint the user to cg-seek in this error message?

That's a good idea. I added a hint there and a paragraph to cg-switch documentation.

Thanks,
