RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.4.4-1.$arch.rpm (RPM)
Quite a lot of changes during the last month.
- pack-refs, along with a lot of internal clean-up of the code
that deal with refs, is in. A repository with many tags
would benefit from packing and pruning them. Currently dumb
transports are not capable of fetching from a repository that
has packed and pruned its refs, so please keep that in mind.
Hopefully we will get an update for dumb transports shortly.
- git native transport can now keep transferred packs without
exploding it into loose objects. Also "git repack" can be
told to keep "historical" packs from getting repacked by
marking them with .keep file. Docmentation update is
probably needed.
- git-blame can now detect line movements across files. No, it
is not called git-pickaxe.
- a lot of gitweb and git-svn updates.
