You are welcome, not only for the information, of course, but also for the bug fixes. Would be nice to thank hard-working people like Peff for that, every once in a while. > The automation process should be probably reviewed, though - because all > the other folks around the world using git-scm (not the SF) to download > OS X builds are still stuck at v2.6.4.

The first time I read this paragraph, I closed the mail right then and there. And I normally would not have looked at it again. You see, the code running git-scm.com is Open Source, which means that you can fix it just as well as everybody else. Of course it takes a bit more effort than to tell other people what you think they should do, yet taking action would have been the appropriate thing to do. Admittedly I find that sense of entitlement that I read in the above-quoted paragraph quite appalling. So why did I open this mail again, then? Easy: I did not notice any other report of the same issue, and the problem was shared by one of my colleagues, so I went ahead and fixed it (note that I am probably even less of a Ruby/Rake expert than you are, yet the documentation how to develop this beast locally is so good that even I was able to develop and test the fix): =09https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/pull/741 I guess this is your lucky day ;-) Ciao, Johannes --8323329-284950776-1460616379=:2967--
