Package: git Version: 1:1.7.1-1.1 Severity: important In many cases one can get the index statinfo out of sync with worktree, resulting in eg. gitk listing all files as modified, although it shows most of them with no real change - imaging what that gives on eg the kernel tree: gitk effectively unusable.
Usually just running "git status" fixes the problem, but it happens 1.7.1 has a serious regression and does not run it. This is fixed in commit 4bb6644d03f6932b94c24c3825e28865f493b692 "git status: refresh the index if possible". We should at least cherry-pick that one. If we ship 1.7.1 in squeeze we will likely get cursed by our users for good reasons. Why not just shipping 1.7.1.2, *that* is a stable release, and upstream knows what he's doing with his stable releases... -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34.1-00003-ge5b0813-dirty (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages git depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.21.0-1 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libdigest-sha1-perl 2.13-1 NIST SHA-1 message digest algorith ii liberror-perl 0.17-1 Perl module for error/exception ha ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii perl-modules 5.10.1-14 Core Perl modules ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages git recommends: ii less 436-1 pager program similar to more ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:5.5p1-4 secure shell (SSH) client, for sec ii patch 2.6-2 Apply a diff file to an original ii rsync 3.0.7-2 fast remote file copy program (lik Versions of packages git suggests: pn git-arch <none> (no description available) pn git-cvs <none> (no description available) pn git-daemon-run <none> (no description available) pn git-doc <none> (no description available) ii git-email 1:1.7.1-1.1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii git-gui 1:1.7.1-1.1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii git-svn 1:1.7.1-1.1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii gitk 1:1.7.1-1.1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi pn gitweb <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
