GIT 1.4.3, GIT 1.4.3.1 Released

From: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

The latest feature release GIT 1.4.3 is available at the usual
places:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

User visible changes, other than bugfixes, since v1.4.2.4 are:

- upload-tar is deprecated but not removed; we now have
upload-archive –format=tar and –format=zip instead.

- ftp:// protocol is supported the same way as http:// and
https://

- git-diff paginates its output to the tty by default. If this
irritates you, using LESS=RF might help.

- git-cherry-pick does not leave often useless “cherry-picked
from” message.

- git-merge-recursive was replaced by a rewritten implemention
in C. The original Python implementation is available as
“recursive-old” strategy for now, but hopefully we can remove
it in the next cycle.

- git-daemon can do name based virtual hosting.

- git-daemon can serve tar and zip snapshots.

- many gitweb tweaks and cleanups.

- git-apply –reverse, –reject.

- git-diff –color highlights whitespace errors.

- git-diff –stat can be taught to use non-default widths.

- git-status can use colors.

- many more commands are built-in.

and two days later:

The latest maintenance release GIT 1.4.3.1 is available at the
usual places:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

This is primarily to work around changes in the recent GNU diff output
format. Also it contains irritation fix for “git diff” which now
paginates its output by default.
