Hi,
this mail informs you that Git for Windows 1.6.3.2 is out. Soon is the
time that we switch to git.git's master.
Git Release Notes (Git-1.6.3.2-preview20090607)
Last update: 07 June 2009
Introduction
These release notes describe issues specific to the Windows release.
General release notes covering the history of the core git commands are
included in the subdirectory doc/git/html of the installation directory.
Look for files starting with RelNotes.
Known issues
- Some commands are not yet supported on Windows and excluded from the
installation; namely: git archimport, git cvsexportcommit, git
cvsimport, git cvsserver, git instaweb, git send-email, git shell.
- The Logitec QuickCam software can cause spurious crashes. See "Why does
make often crash creating a sh.exe.stackdump file when I try to compile
my source code?" on the MinGW Wiki
(http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Environment_issues)
- The Quick Launch icon will only be installed for the user running setup
(typically the Administrator). This is a technical restriction and will
not change.
- Git Bash launched through the Explorer shell extension does not have the
git icon in its taskbar. This is a technical restriction and will not
change.
- git send-mail does not work properly (Issue 27).
- curl uses $HOME/_netrc instead of $HOME/.netrc.
- If you want to specify a different location for --upload-pack, you have
to start the absolute path with two slashes. Otherwise MSys will mangle
the path.
- git and bash have serious problems with non-ASCII file names (Issue 80,
159).
- If configured to use plink, you will have to connect with putty first.
- MinGW does not support IPv6 yet (Issue 182).
- When run from cmd.exe instead of Git Bash, some characters seem to be
"swallowed" from Git's output (Issue 192).
- There are a spurious write errors during rebase (Issue 200) that seem
not to be reproducible on most computers.
- As merge tools are executed using the MSys bash, options starting with
"/" need to be handled specially: MSys would interpret that as a POSIX
path, so you need to double the slash (Issue 226). Example: instead of
"/base", say "//base".
- Also, extra care has to be paid to pass Windows programs Windows paths,
as they have no clue about MSys style POSIX paths -- You can use
something like $(cmd //c echo "$POSIXPATH").
Changes since Git-1.6.3-preview20090507
New Features
- Comes with official git 1.6.3.2.
- Uses TortoisePlink instead of Plink if available.
Bugfixes
- Plink errors out rather than hanging when the user needs to accept a
host key first (Issue 96).
- The user home directory is inferred from $HOMEDRIVE\$HOMEPATH instead of
$HOME (Issue 108).
- The environment setting $CYGWIN=tty is ignored (Issues 138, 248 and
251).
- The "ls" command shows non-ASCII filenames correctly now (Issue 188).
- Adds more syntax files for vi (Issue 250).
- $HOME/.bashrc is included last from /etc/profile, allowing .bashrc to
override all settings in /etc/profile (Issue 255).
- Completion is case-insensitive again (Issue 256).
- The "start" command can handle arguments with spaces now (Issue 258).
- For some Git commands (such as "git commit"), vi no longer "restores"
the cursor position.

Hi,
I just installed it and it seems that ~ now points to /c ...
which is odd and break stuff.
Is this expected or a bug?
Or am I doing something wrong?
I installed default: using git bash, unix line endings, ssh, etc

Well, it is clear, no? It "does not work".

The original fix was indeed done for a reason.
My best guess (as I said in another email on the msysgit list today, where
Ferry probably did not expect helpful information): msys-1.0.dll was not
properly updated.
I worked on a check for this some time ago, but I forgot to finish and
include it in our official 'devel'.

sure:
This is what cmd.exe says:
HOMEDRIVE=C:
HOMEPATH=\Documents and Settings\hubertsf
This is what Git bash says:
HOMEDRIVE=C:
HOMEPATH='\'
Appearently $HOMEPATH is somehow different.
Note that I do have Cygwin installed, but as far as i can see Cygwin does not cause $HOMEPATH to be set to /

sorry for that, I am subscribed to git.devel only. probably should
have checked the msysgit list

does this mean that we can expect a '-2' msysgit release soon?

Just to clarify: there is no -2 release, because it is a new day. And no,
I did not like the feeling that you "expect" me to do the work at all.
An example I positively _like_ is Tom Koelman, who tried the net installer
(pointing out an issue I had not encountered before) and built his own Git
installer, the better to help me fix bugs in the future.

wow
sorry I rubbed you the wrong way.
that was by no means my intention and I'm surprised that you took it that way.
AFAIK I was being polite and positive. I've sent you a patch by which I made it
work. I just asked whether there would be a new release _without_ expecting
anything.
besides, for me the -2 question was totally valid in the light of a broken
installer and what you did the last time that happened
I have no time to build my own installer. I guess we're both swamped by work...

Hi Dscho,
I *knew* there must be a mailing list for msysgit only, but I couldn't
figure out where. Can you please give me a pointer where to register?
I'm registered with Junios list, but as a windows user I'd like to read
and participate with your's as well.
Cheers,
Dirk
