Done in 0.99.9
==============
Ports
~~~~~
* Cygwin port [HPA].
* OpenBSD build [Merlyn and others].
Fixes
~~~~~
* clone request over git native protocol from a repository with
too many refs did not work; this has been fixed.
* git-daemon got safer for kernel.org use [HPA].
* Extended SHA1 parser was not enforcing uniqueness for
abbreviated SHA1; this has been fixed.
* http transport does not barf on funny characters in URL.
* The ref naming restrictions have been formalized and the
coreish refuses to create funny refs; we still need to audit
importers. See git-check-ref-format(1).
New Features and Commands
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* .git/config file as a per-repository configuration mechanism,
and some commands understand it [Linus]. See
git(7).
* The core.filemode configuration item can be used to make us a
bit more FAT friendly. See git(7).
* The extended SHA1 notation acquired Peel-the-onion operator
^{type} and ^{}. See git-rev-parse(1).
* SVN importer [Matthias]. See git-svnimport(1).
* .git/objects/[0-9a-f]{2} directories are created on demand,
and removed when becomes empty after prune-packed [Linus].
* Filenames output from various commands without -z option are
quoted when they embed funny characters (TAB and LF) using
C-style quoting within double-quotes, to match the proposed
GNU diff/patch notation [me, but many people contributed in
the discussion].
* git-mv is expected to be a better replacement for git-rename.
While the latter has two parameter restriction, it acts more
like the regular 'mv' that can move multiple things to one
destinatino directory [Josef Weidendorfer].
* git-checkout can take filenames to revert the changes to
them. See git-checkout(1)
* The new program git-am is a replacement for git-applymbox that
has saner command line options and a bit easier to use when a
patch does not apply cleanly.
* git-ls-remote can show unwrapped onions using ^{} notation, to
help Cogito to track tags.
* git-merge-recursive backend can merge unrelated projects.
* git-clone over native transport leaves the result packed.
* git-http-fetch issues multiple requests in parallel when
underlying cURL library supports it [Nick and Daniel].
* git-fetch-pack and git-upload-pack try harder to figure out
better common commits [Johannes].
* git-read-tree -u removes a directory when it makes it empty.
* git-diff-* records abbreviated SHA1 names of original and
resulting blob; this sometimes helps to apply otherwise an
unapplicable patch by falling back to 3-way merge.
* git-format-patch now takes series of from..to rev ranges and
with '-m --stdout', writes them out to the standard output.
This can be piped to 'git-am' to implement cheaper
cherry-picking.
* git-tag takes '-u' to specify the tag signer identity [Linus].
* git-rev-list can take optional pathspecs to skip commits that
do not touch them (--dense) [Linus].
* Comes with new and improved gitk [Paulus and Linus].

GIT already did everything I wanted it to do since mid 0.99.7,
and it has almost everything I want it to have now, except a
couple of minor tweaks and enhancements.

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.

You can define WITH_SEND_EMAIL to include the send-email command as
part of the installation. Since Debian, unlike RPM/Fedora, has the
two necessary Perl modules available as part of the mainline
distribution, there is no reason for us to shy away from shipping
send-email.

- Split gitk off to its own package;
it needs tk installed, but nothing else does.
- Refer to GPL properly, don't install COPYING.
- Fix maintainer.
- Use dh_movefiles instead of dh_install;
we don't want to list everything *except* gitk.

This is my first attempt to adjust Debian and RPM to pass
prefix, to prepare the 0.99.4 release.
It updates debian/rules and git-core.spec.in to properly pass
prefix when building binary packages. It also updates
debian/changelog to make the resulting binary package name
0.99.4; this is not needed on the RPM side (it takes the version
number from the main Makefile).

This patch includes two fixes to the git-core Debian package:
* Conflict with the GNU Interactive Tools package, which _also_
wants to install /usr/bin/git.
* Compile against the unencumbered Mozilla SHA1 code, instead of
the iffy OpenSSL code, as much as possible. This makes it easier to get
the package included for distribution with Debian.
This has been based upon the original patch by Sebastian Kuzminsky
<seb@highlab.com>, but has been fixed up based upon feedback.

The Deb packages were missing a dependency on "build install" from the
binary target - this fixes that, and cleans up some inconsistencies
elsewhere in the rulesets.
Traditionally, Debian packaging uses a file called "build-stamp" (or
"install-stamp", etc) in the main source tree. The initial deb package
support for Git tried to move this "build-stamp" file into the debian/
directory, but some instances were missed. That problem, however, was
incidental - the real fix is the missing dependency mentioned above.

It's not any harder to include debian package support than to include a
spec file so here is the setup to build the equivalent debian package.
