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, Dscho "who really needs some sleep"
thank you very much! awesome work :-)
