[ANNOUNCE] Cogito-0.17rc2

[Petr Baudis]

  Hello,

  here comes Cogito version 0.17rc1, the human-friendly version control
UI for Linus' GIT tool. Share and enjoy at:

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

  Few bugfixes and actually few minor features compared to 0.17rc1.
You're encouraged to upgrade if you are using 0.17rc2. I am receiving
less bugreports than what I have expected, which either means there are
no bugs (hah!) or that noone cares about the rcs (more likely). So if
there will be no bugreports in two or three days, I'll make this the
final 0.17.

  The notable new stuff includes:

  * cg-clean -d fix (do not clean the contents of untracked directories)
  * cg-log -d renamed to cg-log -D, please fix your scripts and retrain
    your fingers if you actually use it regularily
  * cg-commit -M to load the commit message from a file
  * cg-commit -f will commit even if you are seeked

  * Fix repeated cg-seek <commit> invocations
  * Fix pushing to symlinked repositories (it was racy before and would
    not deal appropriately with permissions)

  * Random documentation improvements

[PATCH] Fix for rpm creation

[Josef Weidendorfer]

Signed-off-by: Josef Weidendorfer <Josef.Weidendorfer@gmx.de>

---
This fixes "make rpm", which currently gives at the very end:
...
Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /var/tmp/cogito-0.17rc2.GIT-1-root-weidendo
error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
   /usr/share/cogito/default-exclude

Another thing:
"cg-switch origin" currently refuses to switch to the branch.
Wouldn't it be better to handle this like "cg-seek origin"?

Josef

Thanks, applied.

Well, it depends on what you expect this to actually do. If you really
want to just seek to whichever is the current origin commit, that's very
different from what cg-switch does - you want cg-seek and cg-switch
doing the same thing when it does something totally different from the
user POV otherwise would be very confusing.

I just used it to check if you already fixed this issue yourself.
I known I should have used cg-seek, but I thought cg-switch should
allow me to do the same - I did not need to remember where I come
from.

So perhaps it would be good to hint the user to cg-seek in this
error message?

That's a good idea. I added a hint there and a paragraph to cg-switch
documentation.
