Git for Windows released
Johannes Schindelin
this is the big "Karsten Blees" release. It features the long-awaited
Unicode support that Karsten Blees worked so hard on. It can be downloaded
via http://msysgit.github.com/.
I also cannot thank enough Erik 'kusma' Faye-Lund for reviewing the
massive amount of work and not tiring before everything was done, after a
whopping 15 revisions of the patch series.
As all Git for Windows releases, this one, too, is dedicated to all the
people who contributed to make it better!
Ciao,
Johannes
P.S.: After Git for Windows 1.7.9 was downloaded 2� million times, maybe
this time we break the 4 million barrier... who nose?

After my recent merge and test suite bugfix commit, all tests pass for me,
at least when running them again ;-)
While releasing, I also realized that /share/WinGit/release.sh has two
small bugs:
1) when the tag .msysgit.0 exists already but points to HEAD, we should
not make a new tag, and
2) it downloads and installs mingw-w64, but it does not initialise the
git-cheetah submodule.
So... if someone feels up for being in the group to who the Git for
Windows releases are dedicated, there are two good opportunities to
harvest low-hanging fruit.

Possibly irrelevant/erroneous, but does that mean the known issue in
the shipped release notes:
"git and bash have serious problems with non-ASCII file names (Issue 80, 159)."
Should now be removed ?

Off by an order of magnitude - its around 300 thousand (2.7e5) :)
We average 2 downloads per minute and have done for a while now (over
a year at least).

Ooops. I blame it on the late night. But then, mathematicians always make
those errors, the mantissa is always correct! ;-)

Ah, that has bothered me before, I'll come up with something.

So "./t7602-merge-octopus-many.sh -v -i" passed for you? I'm seeing the
well known line ending issue in the expected vs. actual files with this one.

d084f44f(Windows: make sure that merge-octopus only outputs LF line
endings) helped me avoid them...

I looked at https://github.com/ciaranj/git and could not find it, let
alone a pull request...
Ciao,

;) Haha, I'm more than happy to, I just wasn't sure if it was 'in need
of' fixing (hence me asking the question, presumably your answer
suggests this is incorrect, so I'll send a pull request your way)

P.S.: If only some Ruby-savvy person could take care of that hook to send
out pull request updates to this mailing list automatically...

Could you clarify what you mean by "not initialise"? Do you mean
initialising and updating the submodule? Shouldn't that be done by the
msysGit installer? Or is there something else?
Cheers Heiko

I mean that if I failed to do a "git submodule update --init
src/git-cheetah/" before running /share/WinGit/release.sh, it fails
ungracefully. It is a simple matter of testing whether
/src/git-cheetah/.git exists and initialising the submodule in the
negative case.
However, this is such a low-hanging fruit that one of the many lurkers on
this list who always wanted an opportunity to help could harvest it.
