GIT 0.99.9j aka 1.0rc3 is found at usual places.
Notable change since 1.0rc2 are:
- RPM packages has been split a bit differently [H. Peter
Anvin]. Simon Richter asked me not to muck with debian
packaging, so I take that Simon volunteered to update things
to match what happened to RPM side.
- On platforms and filesystems that can handle symlinks, you
can now force symbolic refs by configuration item
core.symrefsonly [Johannes Schindelin].
- http-fetch is less leaky [Petr Baudis, Nick Hengeveld].
- fsck-objects and refs tracking uses much less memory [Sergey
Vlasov].
- git wrapper is rewritten in C [Andreas Ericsson].
- diff piped to patch inside a single repository is made binary
safe [me]
There was a discussion to always use symrefs for .git/HEAD; this
will _not_ happen before 1.0. It breaks too many exiting tools
without giving them enough advance notice.
The proposed updates branch has a couple of topics I consider
1.0 material.
- git-log --since="two weeks ago", without using GNU date [Linus]
- git-rebase to use "diff-piped-to-patch" [me]
- git-branch -f to forcibly reset branch head [me]
Here is the shortlog.
