Git-1.6.0.2-preview20080921 on Windows

[Steffen Prohaska]

Git-1.6.0.2-preview20080921 for Windows is available at

     http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads

The version installed is based on Junio's current 'maint' (cc185a6a8a)
plus the patch series I sent today, see

    http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/92605

The new installer is not yet featured on the msysgit homepage, because
the installer contains the new "libexec/git-core" layout, which has not
been tested much.  I'll wait a few days to see if the new layout works.
If hear nothing bad, I'll move the "Featured" flag to 1.6.0.2.

Thank you!

After installing and running some simple tests (some command line
commands, git gui, gitk), everything seems to be working just fine.

One minor detail that would be nice to get fixed is in the installer --
it forgets the some of choices I made last time I installed Git. The
install path and icon creation is saved, but I need to select "Run from
Windows command line" and "Use PLink" manually even though I selected
them last time.

Do I understand it right, that this is also without working git-svn (or maybe
even without git-svn at all)?

Thanks anyway to the msysgit people for the new Windows build.

Yes, like the previous releases, git-svn is not included in the build. There 
is an older release availabe which has a git-svn in it, but it says that it 
doesn't quite work right. I guess it needs a volunteer to look at it and 
figure out how to fix it...

This version fails for me when trying to use the bundled ssh.exe. I get 
a dialog saying:

	This application has failed to start because msys-crypto-0.9.8.dll
	was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem.

I get this both when starting ssh manually, and when started from 
e.g. "git clone".

Before installing the above version, I _uninstalled_ the previous 
version. If i _don't_ uninstall the previous version, and instead 
install this one on top of the old one, everything seems to work 
correctly.

I updated the installer to Git-1.6.0.2-preview20080923.
The problems reported on the mailing list during the
last two days should be fixed.

I apologize for the quality of Git-1.6.0.2-preview20080921.
It was unacceptable.

Works without crashing for me now. The installer issue is still there,
but I guess it takes another iteration to get to work (i.e, next time I
install?)

Nah, that's the joy of being first to test software :-) Nothing broke,
just a few things that didn't quite work as expected, so no worries.

Thanks for doing the job of publishing, fixing and republishing!

No, that is too harsh.  There is some meaning in the infix "preview", and 
given that you gave everybody (me included, I have to admit) the chance to 
work on this installer earlier, there is nothing to apologize for.

Confirmed. SSH works again. :)

You have absolutely nothing to apologize for. I highly appreciate the 
effort you and others put into msysGit. :)

Your apology is not accepted - it is us who owe thanks.
Anyway, is this expected:

/c/Documents and Settings/eric  % git --version
git version 1.6.0.2.1325.gc3e64
/c/Documents and Settings/eric  % git commit --help
warning: failed to exec 'man': No such file or directory
fatal: no man viewer handled the request
/c/Documents and Settings/eric  % git commit --help --web
fatal: 'c:/Documents and Settings/eric/share/doc/git-doc': not a documentation

Hi!

Steffen Prohaska:

> I updated the installer to Git-1.6.0.2-preview20080923.

One issue that I see is that the installer does not seem to clean up
the previously installed version on upgrade. I installed over the
previous version to C:\Git, and I now have two git-add.exe files:

 Directory of c:\git\bin

2008-06-22  18:41           925 184 git-add.exe


 Directory of c:\git\libexec\git-core

I'm currently testing a patch that fixes this.

You forgot to merge my build of the Cygwin kill utility for MSys.
Available here:

http://repo.or.cz/w/msysgit.git?a=log;h=refs/heads/mob


Also, when I start git-gui from an empty repository, or try to amend
the root commit, I get:


Assertion failed: argv0_path, file exec_cmd.c, line 15

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

I get the same error if I simply run 'git mktree' as well.

Apologies.  I'll include it in the next release.

This is fixed by:

diff --git a/mktree.c b/mktree.c
index e0da110..9545c96 100644
--- a/mktree.c
+++ b/mktree.c

+               git_extract_argv0_path(argv[0]);
+
         setup_git_directory();

         while ((1 < ac) && av[1][0] == '-') {


I'll create an updated installer soon.
