[ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.5.4.3

From: Junio C Hamano
Date: Sat Feb 23 2008 - 16:07:53 EST


The latest maintenance release GIT 1.5.4.3 is available at the
usual places:

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

git-1.5.4.3.tar.{gz,bz2} (tarball)
git-htmldocs-1.5.4.3.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs)
git-manpages-1.5.4.3.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs)
RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.5.4.3-1.$arch.rpm (RPM)

Largest user visible change in this is RPM packaging updates by
Kristian HÃgsberg. 'git-core' will only be pure git without
pulling foreign SCM packages in as its dependencies anymore when
you do "yum install git-core".

GIT v1.5.4.3 Release Notes
==========================

Fixes since v1.5.4.2
--------------------

* RPM spec used to pull in everything with 'git'. This has been
changed so that 'git' package contains just the core parts,
and we now supply 'git-all' metapackage to slurp in everything.
This should match end user's expectation better.

* When some refs failed to update, git-push reported "failure"
which was unclear if some other refs were updated or all of
them failed atomically (the answer is the former). Reworded
the message to clarify this.

* "git clone" from a repository whose HEAD was misconfigured
did not set up the remote properly. Now it tries to do
better.

* Updated git-push documentation to clarify what "matching"
means, in order to reduce user confusion.

* Updated git-add documentation to clarify "add -u" operates in
the current subdirectory you are in, just like other commands.

* git-gui updates to work on OSX and Windows better.
