Updating to Git 1.7.2.2Edit

Created , updated

Local update (Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard)

Notes made while updating from Git 1.7.2.1 to Git 1.7.2.2 from within a local clone of the official upstream Git repository on Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard:

$ cd path/to/clone/of/git.git/repo
$ git fetch
$ git tag -v v1.7.2.2
$ git co v1.7.2.2                                                     # "co" is an alias for "checkout"
$ make clean
$ make prefix=/usr/local test
$ sudo make prefix=/usr/local install quick-install-man
$ diff -u ~/.git-completion.sh contrib/completion/git-completion.bash # any changes to Bash completion?
$ cp contrib/completion/git-completion.bash ~/.git-completion.sh      # nope, but this is how we would install it
$ git co master                                                       # don't hang around on detached HEAD

Remote update (Fedora Linux)

I didn’t perform the remote update for this release of Git. See "Updating to Git 1.7.2.1" for an example of notes made during a remote update.
