Re: How do i get news of git releases

The project doesn't use GitHub's Releases feature specifically, but I
think annotated tags that are pushed to the repo end up there, too. The
resulting feed entries are a little bare. Possibly they could be
populated with the release notes, but from the Git project's
perspective, the GitHub repo is really just a Git mirror. Presumably it
would require some scripting around GitHub's API for the tag pushes to
also create Release entries (and then probably somebody would want the
same for the GitLab mirror, and so on).

I think it may also be a reasonable feature for git-scm.com to have its
own RSS feed. It already has to know about all of the releases (so it
can point to the most recent one, for example). Most of the development
for that site happens at https://github.com/git/git-scm.com. So if you
or anybody is interested in adding the feature, it would probably make
sense to start a discussion there.

It would give us a bit finer grained report to trigger updates to
the blob RelNotes symbolic link points at, if the rss geneators can
monitor such things.
