Hi, guys. gitorious is really great, better than github in term os easy use (and that you are in EU).

But may i have a little question ? It is written here, that you use 1.6.x. For me it doesn't matter (maybe it does, but i assume that there could be some security things etc. and that could be a reason why you should update. As i said i don't know git very well, but can you explain me, why you didn't update to the newest one ? Maybe you have some reason for that. I just would like to know that.

John,
We seem to have two git installations on the frontend server, and the one that's being reported on the page you're referring to isn't the one that's being used. Our servers are running git 1.7.6, I promise!

I just pushed a fixhttps://gitorious.org/gitorious/mainline/commit/086f65c15d1a4320fe64f0dc4b8b115f09b6ec3f) in the way Gitorious handles these. The page on gitorious.org will reflect this next time we deploy.

Thanks for the feedback!

Cheers,
- Marius
