GIT 1.0.6 was silently pushed out. Again, it has one notable fix among minor test fixes. - Do not mark tags fetched via --tags flag as mergeable. This is to fix "git pull --tags"; it tried to merge all of the tags by mistake --- it should not merge any of them. I have verified that the patch by Gerrit to fix merge-order test is correct, but have not got around to apply it yet. The master branch has the following enhancements in addition to what is in 1.0.6. I intend to have 1.1 release with them early next year, when I come back from the new year break. - "git clone -o branchname" to specify name of the branch used to keep track of the upstream (Johannes). - "core.sharedrepository" and "git init-db --shared" to help group writable repositories (Johannes). - IPV6 literal address in git networking protocol (Hideaki). - "git pack-redundant" is more efficient (Lukas). - "git describe" and associated Makefile changes to give GIT releases a bit more descriptive names (Linus and me). - "git checkout <treeish> <path>..." and "git checkout -- <path>..." can be used to restore named paths even from a subdirectory. - git-receive-pack propagates hooks' refusal to update back to git-send-pack. I'll be away from the network and will be back on the second week of January. I wish everybody a happy new year.
