These operations are performed using GIT commands and the patches are stored as GIT commit objects, allowing easy merging of the StGIT patches into other repositories using standard GIT functionality. What's new in this release (the full ChangeLog is in the archive): * Uses the renamed GIT commands (requires GIT >= 0.99.7) * 'pick' command to cherry-pick a commit object as an StGIT patch using a three-way merge. It also allows reverse-applying * 'commit' command to permanently store the applied patches into the repository * 'push' can now fast-forward the patches if the base tree object has not changed * The configuration file supports the 'editor' field * '--version' option for the 'mail' command to generate the e-mail subject in the form '[PATCH version nr/total]' * '--showpatch' option for 'refresh' to show the patch content when editing the patch description * '--branch' option for several commands to work on a given branch instead of the current one without switching * the 'pull' command was updated to follow the 'git pull' API * '--base' option for 'import' to import a diff file on a different base and perform a three-way merge with the HEAD afterwards * Support for the '.gitignore' file * Several other optimisations * Bug fixes Many thanks to Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso, Chuck Lever, Pierre Ossman and Junio C Hamano for contributing patches to this release. -- Catalin
