Which msysGit version corresponds to which official Git version?

Which msysGit version corresponds to which official Git version?

[Dirk Süsserott]

I'm using msysGit. Upon shell startup it says
"Welcome to Git (version 1.5.5-preview20080413)".
That's the latest msysGit version.

git --version says "git version 1.5.5.1015.g9d258"

I'd like to know which official Git version (as cloned
from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git) corresponds
to my msysGit version.

git checkout 9d258 didn't work.

Any hints? Is there a Website or another mailing
list for msysGit?

It's not in official git.git.  msysgit is based on official
git 1.5.5, i.e. tag v1.5.5 (9d8318051).  msysGit adds, however,
a lot of commits that are (not yet) in official git.git.

Thanks a lot, that's exactly what I was looking for. :-)

BTW, I couldn't checkout the commit '9d8318051' you mentioned from git.git.
No such something, it said. When I checked out 'v1.5.5' it said my HEAD is
now '1d2375d'. Probably I messed up my clone, but I thought the commit id
was unique for all time.

Whoa, stop. I re-cloned git.git to a different directory and succesfully 
checked
out 9d8318051. Look:

$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git

$ cd git

$ git checkout 9d8318051

I'd expected that "HEAD is now at 9d8318051...". Wrong?
When I checkout "1d2375d" it says the very same:
  > HEAD is now at 1d2375d... GIT 1.5.5

So what's the difference then between 9d8318051 and 1d2375d?
gitk doesn't know about 9d8318051 at all. Seems that there are
two ways to get to v1.5.5: via 9d... and via 1d.... Is that right
or did I misunderstand sth. here?

9d831 is the v1.5.5 tag object; 1d237 is the commit it points to. When
you pass a tag reference to checkout, it gets dereferenced to the
corresponding commit.

9d8318051 is a tag object that creates the v1.5.5 tag:

$ git cat-file -p 9d8318051
object 1d2375ddfee18bd3effd2c1f98527cc2f8b1df0a
type commit
tag v1.5.5

Ahh, that explains it. :-) Thanks! I sometimes mix up the different IDs 
Git emitts.

Why did you not just update your tracking (AKA remote) branches with "git 
fetch"?

I just wanted to make sure... I'm still practicing, you know.
I sometimes use the git.git repo to try out some of the commands
I hear about here, because it has a reasonable number of
branches and tags. Thought I screwed it up. ;-)

On the other hand, I don't know how I lost tha sha1
9d8318051 (which is the tag's ID, as I've learned).
Possibly I didn't actually lose it but wasn't aware of
the right commands. git fetch, for an example.
