2009/3/8 Johannes Schindelin <= Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de>

Hi,

I just released a new version of Git for Windows (TAFKA WinGit). =A0It is basically Git 1.6.2 plus a few patches. =A0Please find the installer here:<= br>
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0http://msysgit.googlecode.com/

Disclaimer: Git for Windows is still in a state where I do _not_ recommend<= br> using it unless you have the means to fix issues. =A0Unlike git.git
developer community, the msysGit team is heavily undermanned.

Known issues

- Some commands are not yet supported on Windows and excluded from the
=A0installation; namely: git archimport, git cvsexportcommit, git
=A0cvsimport, git cvsserver, git filter-branch, git instaweb, git
=A0send-email, git shell.

- The Logitec QuickCam software can cause spurious crashes. See "Why d= oes
=A0make often crash creating a sh.exe.stackdump file when I try to compile=
=A0my source code?" in the MinGW FAQs
=A0(http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/FAQ).

- The Quick Launch icon will only be installed for the user running setup =A0(typically the Administrator). This is a technical restriction and will=
=A0not change.

- Git Bash launched through the Explorer shell extension does not have the<= br> =A0git icon in its taskbar. This is a technical restriction and will not =A0change.

- git send-mail does not work properly (Issue 27).

- curl uses $HOME/_netrc instead of $HOME/.netrc.

- If you want to specify a different location for --upload-pack, you have =A0to start the absolute path with two slashes. Otherwise MSys will mangle=
=A0the path.

- git clone fails when the repository contains UTF-8 filepaths (Issue 80).<= br>
Changes since Git-1.6.1-preview20081225

New Features
- Comes with official git 1.6.2.
- Comes with upgraded vim 7.2.
- Compiled with GCC 4.3.3.
- The user can choose the preferred CR/LF behavior in the installer now. - Peter Kodl contributed support for hardlinks on Windows.
- The bash prompt now shows information about the current repository.

Bugfixes
- If supported by the file system, pack files can grow larger than 2gb.
- Comes with updated msys-1.0.dll (should fix some Vista issues).
- Assorted fixes to support the new libexec/git-core/ layout better.
- Read-only files can be properly replaced now.
- git-svn is included again (original caveats still apply).
- Obsolete programs from previous installations are cleaned up.


So what are the next steps?

Hannes is busy sorting out the differences between the test suites in
git.git and mingw.git.

Thanks to the awesome efforts of both Hannes and Steffen, the rest of the differences are really small (the biggest being Peter's hard link patch= ).
I'll try to put together a patch series in the next few weeks.

Ciao,
Dscho
