Hello,

I'm announcing the release of 0.15.1 of Cogito, the human-friendly UI
for Linus' GIT. You can find it at

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

when kernel.org mirroring will go through another short period of
actually working. ;-)

I'm cc'ing the Linux Kernel mailing list since this release contains
a bugfix for an ugly potential data loss bug, which actually probably
covers nearly all Cogito users (it was introduced in cogito-0.11.2).
If you had some local uncommitted changes and merge new stuff (either
using cg-update or cg-merge), in some cases it would silently trash your
local changes. It was caused by a bogus git-checkout-cache invocation
pointed out by Linus.

Other interesting stuff:

* cg-clean -d would remove the arch/ and include/ subdirs in Linux
kernel - just any directories containing only subdirectories
(this isn't as horrible as it sounds since you didn't lose anything
precious you didn't want to lose - you can recover by just doing
cg-restore)
* Support for fetching from URLs of the 'git' protocol scheme
* cg-log -d filters based on date
* cg-diff works on BSD now
* Merge cg-(commit|parent|tree)-id to cg-object-id
* Some significant documentation enhancements
* Some new tests in the testsuite (for cg-merge ;-)
* Usual squad of minor bugfixes

Happy hacking,
