GIT 0.99.4 preview: current status
Things are looking almost ready for a new release. The list at the end of this message shows what went into the release candidate branch since 0.99.3: Dan's commit walker updates to deal with a packed repository, Johannes fixed quite a lot of problems in the documentation, I did reference-renaming push, a couple of usability improvements from Linus, gitk updates from Paul, and Ryan added an bulk e-mailer. With help from Kalle, Horst and Chris Wright, binary packaging looks in a better shape now. I'll let this simmer for a couple more days, and plan to merge them back to the master branch on Wednesday and tag it as v0.99.4. Some of the patches I will receive before Wednesday from the list, and some of what I already have in the proposed update branch, may graduate to the master branch before that happens. Earlier, I posted my itchlist. I would of course appreciate if somebody scratches them, but at the same time would appreciate people to voice their own itches. My personal 0.99.5 itches are to enhance fetch to deal with multiple references and have local-pull to deal with a packed repository. Dan's help would be greatly appreciated on the latter one. Oh, another itch I did not list in the previous message. Is anybody interested in doing an Emacs VC back-end for GIT? BTW, I used git log v0.99.3..rc | git shortlog to prepare the attached list, but ended up hand-removing many Merge with blah entries. It may not be a bad idea to have an option to filter out the merge entries at git log time. Adding '--single-parent-only' flag to git-rev-list would be one way of doing it. Suggestions?

GIT 0.99.4 (preview)
I said: My tentative plan is for 0.99.4 to finish send-pack, 0.99.5 to enhance fetch-pack, 0.99.6 to finish the first pass for the documentation updates and stabilizing the binary packaging. Ok, I am almost ready to push 0.99.4 out. Here is what I have in the public repository. - The branches master pu are as usual. Modulo bugs, I consider send-pack enhancement finished. - There is an rc branch whose Makefile already says 0.99.4. I've been working on Debian and RPM packaging issues today, with help from Chris Wright and H Peter Anvin, in this branch. The plan is to stabilize the binary packaging issues in the rc branch, and ordinary feature updates and bugfixes in master or pu branch as usual. When things are ready, rc and master will be merged, 0.99.4 gets created and tagged, and master and pu will continue from there. I would appreciate if folks familiar with binary packaging, especially RPM, give final sanity checks on what is currently in rc branch. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
Re: GIT 0.99.4 (preview)
My proposed patch, the description as is is misleading.
The rest of the .spec file looks sane (yes, I've built my share of RPMs
over the years).

%description
-GIT comes in two layers. The bottom layer is merely an extremely fast
-and flexible filesystem-based database designed to store directory trees
-with regard to their history. The top layer is a SCM-like tool which
-enables human beings to work with the database in a manner to a degree
-similar to other SCM tools (like CVS, BitKeeper or Monotone).
+This is a stupid (but extremely fast) directory content manager. It
+doesn't do a whole lot, but what it _does_ do is track directory
+contents efficiently. It is intended to be the base of an efficient,
+distributed source code management system. This package includes
+rudimentary tools that can be used as a SCM, but you should look
+elsewhere for tools for ordinary humans layered on top of this.
