[ANNOUNCE] Guilt v0.22
From: Josef Sipek
Date: Sun Mar 11 2007 - 15:31:25 EST
Guilt v0.22 is available for download (once it mirrors out on kernel.org).
Guilt (Git Quilt) is a series of bash scripts which add a Mercurial
queues-like functionality and interface to git.
Tarballs:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jsipek/guilt/
Git repo:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jsipek/guilt.git
The changes to Guilt could be divided into three categories:
1) Documentation: Quite a bit of documentation was added.
2) Bugfixes:
- guilt-patchbomb did not actually do the right action based on user's
answer to the question about removal of the temporary patch directory.
- Many places in the code used variables in an unsafe way - a whitespace
in a path could have caused very bad things to happen.
- Guilt 0.21 did not allow the user to be in a subdirectory and run
guilt commands.
- guilt-files did not recurse into subdirectories.
3) Features: Autotagging:
Automatically creates unannotated tags for top, bottom, and base of the
stack
On every push or pop operation (refresh is a pop followed by a push),
update the stack top (${branch}_top), stack bottom (${branch}_bottom),
and stack base (${branch}_base) tags.
Top: Topmost applied patch/commit
Bottom: Bottommost applied patch/commit
Base: Commit on top of which the bottom most patch is applied
Having these three tags, one can easily get the log/diff/other information
only for commits that are (or are not!) part of the patch stack.
Autotagging can be disabled by setting guilt.autotag=0 in your git
config file.
Additionally, guilt-init now accepts a new parameter '-n' to
automatically set guilt.autotag=0 in the current repository.
As always, patches, and other feedback is welcome.
Josef "Jeff" Sipek.
