Debian uses their own version; 1:1.8.4~rc3-1, it doesn't use Git's version 1.8.4.rc3, so if we change it to 1.8.4-rc3, that doesn't affect them one bit because they are not using it anyway. As for Fedora rawhide, they don't even use rc versions: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=1864 -- Felipe Contreras -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
