Name        : git
Product     : Fedora 13
Version     : 1.7.0.1
Release     : 1.fc13
URL         : http://git-scm.com/
Summary     : Fast Version Control System
Description :
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

The git rpm installs the core tools with minimal dependencies.  To
install all git packages, including tools for integrating with other
SCMs, install the git-all meta-package.

Update Information:

Fixes since v1.7.0  ------------------    * In a freshly created repository
"rev-parse HEAD^0" complained that it is dangling symref, even though "rev-parse
HEAD" didn't.  * "git show :no-such-name" tried to access the index without
bounds check, leading to a potential segfault.  * Message from "git cherry-pick"
was harder to read and use than necessary when it stopped due to conflicting
changes.  * We referred to ".git/refs/" throughout the documentation when we
meant to talk about abstract notion of "ref namespace".  Because people's
repositories often have packed refs these days, this was confusing.  * "git diff
--output=/path/that/cannot/be/written" did not correctly error out.  * "git grep
-e -pattern-that-begin-with-dash paths..." could not be spelled as "git grep --
-pattern-that-begin-with-dash paths..." which would be a GNU way to use "--" as
"end of options".  * "git grep" compiled with threading support tried to access
an uninitialized mutex on boxes with a single CPU.  * "git stash pop -q --index"
failed because the unnecessary --index option was propagated to "git stash drop"
that is internally run at the end.    And other minor fixes and documentation
updates.
