Hash: SHA1
A new release of git, 1.5.5-1, has been uploaded, replacing
1.5.4-1 as
the current version.
NEWS:
=====
This is a new upstream release. See also the package
documentation in
/usr/share/doc/git-1.5.5/, along with the attached upstream
release notes.
When compiled out of the box, the upstream git maintainers
cater to older
cygwin releases, and intentionally disable certain features
that have been
reported on their mailing list, even though they work with
the latest
cygwin. Therefore, this build turns those features back on.
However, it
means that this version does assume that you are not using
FAT or FAT32 to
hold your repositories, since they do not store file
permissions very
accurately.
DESCRIPTION:
============
Git is popular version control system designed to handle
very large
projects with speed and efficiency; it is used mainly for
various open
source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
Git falls in the category of distributed source code
management tools,
similar to e.g. GNU Arch or Monotone (or BitKeeper in the
proprietary
world). Every Git working directory is a full-fledged
repository with full
revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network
access or a
central server.
UPDATE:
=======
To update your installation, click on the "Install
Cygwin now" link on the
http://cygwin.com/ web
page. This downloads setup.exe to your system.
Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up
'git' from
the 'Devel' category.
DOWNLOAD:
=========
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com)
aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you
will need to
find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one
nearest to you:
http://cygwin.com/mirr
ors.html
QUESTIONS:
==========
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin
mailing list is
the appropriate place.
