[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.
