Update git/git-native

Hi,

I'd like to propose to update the git recipe (specifically, the native one) to something newer than 1.5.3, currently used. The problem with that particular version is that it does not work reliably through the proxy. Here is the symptom:

$ GIT_PROXY_COMMAND=~/git-proxy.sh /OE/tmp/staging/i686-linux/usr/bin/git --version
git version 1.5.3

$ GIT_PROXY_COMMAND=~/git-proxy.sh /OE/tmp/staging/i686-linux/usr/bin/git clone git://git.infradead.org/mtd-utils.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/mtd-utils/.git/
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack died with error code 128
fetch-pack from 'git://git.infradead.org/mtd-utils.git' failed.

The first version to work reliably with GIT_PROXY_COMMAND is 1.5.4:

$ GIT_PROXY_COMMAND=~/git-proxy.sh /OE/tmp/staging/i686-linux/usr/bin/git --version
git version 1.5.4

$ GIT_PROXY_COMMAND=~/git-proxy.sh /OE/tmp/staging/i686-linux/usr/bin/git clone git://git.infradead.org/mtd-utils.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/mtd-utils/.git/

I'm not sure if there is some requirement to stick with 1.5.x version of git, if not the latest stable version is 1.6.0.4 - I am attaching patches for both just in case, with corresponding ticket #4835.

Please provide any comments.

Denys

1.5.6.4

Well I'm more up to go with 1.6.0.4 for it so we have the latest version with all the latest bug fixes on it.

So, should I commit 1.6.0.4 only? Hope it won't break anyone's fetches.

git (for the target) fails to build for arm: http://tinderbox.openembedded.net/packages/233747/

could you have a look at it?

regards,

Sorry for that. Fixed in 46e30ed6ebb1a872f919363c6ff047344049079c
