There are a good deal of bugfixes in 'master', the largest of which is Brandon Casey's fix to builtin-commit and others' misuse of lockfile API. A tentative fix for the issue was pushed out last night but the approach has known issues for our Windowsy friends, and this attempts to address them. We've been taking pride that the tip of 'master' is always, without regression, more stable than any released version, but today's one might have uncovered glitches. Please help testing it so that we do not have to leave it broken for a long time if it indeed is.
Except for the NO_MMAP issue introduced by c3b0dec509f that kills git-fast-import in t9301* as discussed in a parallel thread, all tests pass on Windows (MinGW port). This is a good sign since most, if not all, issues around the lockfile API have been discovered by the test suite in the past. -- Hannes
