It’s been almost a year since version 1.3.0 came out, and during that time we have been very busy working on version 1.4.0. And now, we have released TortoiseSVN 1.4.0.
The whole user interface of TortoiseSVN got improvements, and there also are a lot of improvements under the hood. The major changes are all mentioned in our release notes:
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/tsvn_1.4_releasenotes.html make sure you read them.You can download version 1.4.0 from our download page http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads
Enjoy the new version and all the improvements in it :)

Hello,
I just released cogito-0.18 - new feature release of the Cogito
user-friendly Git user interface. The biggest highlights are
super-duper cg-log, tagging interface and cg-patch -m. Contrary to my
plan, this unfortunately does NOT contain three big things yet that are
missing but will be in cogito-0.19 (which should be already quite near
the ever-approaching version 1.0):
So, now for things that ARE part of 0.18: :-)
First, a simple README update is the only difference from 0.18rc2.
* INCOMPATIBLE: $COGITO_COLORS is renamed to $CG_COLORS
* INCOMPATIBLE: cg-log now by default hides merges, -M behaviour is reversed
* All kinds of very stale command aliases that were deprecated for eons were removed
* .git/author is deprecated (use .git/config to set it up)
* We now officially depend on 1.4.2 (we use git-*-fetch –stdin which makes fetching tags _MUCH_ faster)
* cg-log was reworked to support cg-log -d (show diffs inline), cg-log -S (pickaxe) and renames following (does not quite work, though; I decided not to fix it and wait for revisions.c in Git to support it since the perl script which takes care of this is quite a hack)
* cg-switch -l to stash your local changes when switching branches
* cg-commit –amend
* Tagging interface (cg-tag, cg-tag-ls, cg-tag-show) was greatly enhanced
* cg-patch -m for applying mailboxes
* cg-clone -l now sets up an alternate instead of symlinking the object db
* Support for cg-clone –reference
* cg-admin-setuprepo supports setting up repositories over SSH
* Support fetching over FTP
* Other cool stuff!
Happy hacking,
–

This is mostly a bug fix release.
Fixes are all over the place but most important are the fixes to code range filtering.
Code range filtering is when you select some text in file viewer and
want to view the list of revisions that modified that code range.
Download tarball from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/qgit
or directly from git public repository
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/qgit/qgit.git

The latest maintenance release GIT 1.4.2.3 is available at the
usual places:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/
Sorry to be doing two maintenance releases in rapid succession,
but git-mv breakage causes random tree corruption and is rather
serious.
Junio C Hamano:
git-mv: invalidate the removed path properly in cache-tree
git-push: .git/remotes/ file does not require SP after colon
Changes since v1.4.2.1 are as follows:
Junio C Hamano:
Fix git-am safety checks
git-diff -B output fix.
Liu Yubao:
Fix duplicate xmalloc in builtin-add
