The kernel.org servers use Cogito which needs a new release. So the version on kernel.org is always a working version with the current release of Cogito as long as we don't get a git-core to provide the binaries. > After investigating further, I found out that the object type ("blob" in > the example above) is no longer printed by git-diff-tree.

Sure, gitweb did the diffs before git was able to do that. And it does not really matter who is creating the temp-files, the cgi or the git-binaries. :) If things are stable some day, I may switch that over and maybe even support the nice rename detection. > Could you please post a downloadable current release of gitweb to > kernel.org that works with the current git?

It is in the html-source, right at the top. Thanks, Kay
