GIT MinGW port is now at v1.5.3-rc4

I've just pushed an update of the MinGW port to:

clone:  git://repo.or.cz/git/mingw.git
gitweb: http://repo.or.cz/w/git/mingw.git

This passes the test suite, but I still haven't used it in production.

There are two additional changes that are of interest for the msysgit effort:

- The test scripts no longer accept --no-symlinks becaust test-lib.sh auto-detects whether the file system supports symbolic links.

- The devel branch no longer patches out libiconv, which is now required in the shipped configuration (the one from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libiconv.htm, which requires the OLD_ICONV setting in the Makefile).

We need to make sure that we don't duplicate our efforts. Have you looked at http://repo.or.cz/w/git/mingw/4msysgit.git ? We've made some progress while you were on vacation.

Also I think it's now time to merge two repos.
Two Johanneses (corresponding repo owners on the to: line), please coordinate with each other.

I've basically hiding under a stone when I was away. So, no, I didn't see it until yesterday ;)

Sure! First thing I need to know is which branch I should keep an eye on. master?

Hi,

AFAIAC 'master' is supposed to be for end-user consumption, and 'devel' is where all the action is (sort of our 'next' branch).

BTW I just added you (Hannes) to the pushers list.

Ciao,
