Re: [msysGit] Git for Windows 1.6.2.2

Hi,

this email tries to inform you that the Windows installer was updated to
the newest version of Git.

Changes since Git-1.6.2.1-preview20090322

New Features

- Comes with official git 1.6.2.2.
- Upgraded Tcl/Tk to 8.5.5.
- TortoiseMerge is supported by mergetool now (Thanks Markus Heidelberg).
- Uses pthreads (faster garbage collection on multi-core machines).
- The test suite passes!

Bugfixes

- Renaming was made more robust (due to Explorer or some virus scanners,
 files could not be renamed at the first try, so we have to try multiple
 times).
- Johannes Sixt made lots of changes to the test-suite to identify
 properly which tests should pass, and which ones cannot pass due to
 limitations of the platform.
- Support PAGERs with spaces in their filename.
- Quite a few changes were undone which we needed in the olden days of
 msysGit.
- Fall back to / when HOME cannot be set to the real home directory due to
 locale issues (works around Issue 108 for the moment).

Ciao,
