It's time for the next release of Magit, the Emacs interface to Git!

http://zagadka.vm.bytemark.co.uk/magit/

A lot of people have contributed to it. Thanks a lot!

Please report bugs and general feedback to our little mailing list:

http://groups.google.com/group/magit

or to me directly, of course.

What's new:

* Tagging, on 't' and 'T'.

* Stashing, on 'z' and 'Z'.

* Wazzup, on 'w'. Wazzup gives you an overview over how other branches relate to the current one.

* There is more control over pushing. 'P' now takes a prefix argument and pushing a branch without a default remote will ask for one.

* Logs have changed a bit: 'l' shows the traditional brief log, and 'L' shows a more verbose log. Use the prefix arg to specify the range of the log.

* M-x magit-status doesn't prompt anymore for a directory when invoked from within a Git repository. Use C-u to force a prompt.

* When you have nothing staged, 'c' will now explicitly ask whether to commit everything instead of just going ahead and do it. This can be customized.

* The digit keys '1', '2', '3', and '4' now show sections on the respective level and hide everything below. With Meta, they work on all sections; without, they work only on sections that are a parent or child of the current section.

* Typing '+' and '-' will change the size of hunks, via the "-U" option to git diff. '0' resets hunks to their default size.

* Typing 'k' on the "Untracked files" section title will offer to delete all untracked files.

* Magit understands a bit of git-svn: the status buffer shows unpushed and unpulled commits, 'N r' runs git svn rebase, and 'N c' runs git svn dcommit.

* Magit now also works when the direcory is accessed via tramp.

* M-x magit-status can also create new repositories when given a directory that is not a Git repository.

* Magit works better with oldish Gits that don't understand "--graph", for example.

* The name of the Git program and common options for it can be customized.

Enjoy!
