Updating to Git 1.6.4.3 on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow LeopardEdit

Created 9/13/2009, updated 5/18/2017

Local update

Notes made while updating to Git 1.6.4.3 on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard:

# working from a clone of the official upstream Git repo
git fetch
git tag -v v1.6.4.3

# note: "git co" is an alias that I made for "git checkout"
git co v1.6.4.3
make clean
make prefix=/usr/local test
sudo make prefix=/usr/local install

# inspect the changes in the Bash completion script
diff -u ~/.git-completion.sh contrib/completion/git-completion.bash
# no changes this time, so no need to update it
[/tags/cp #cp] contrib/completion/git-completion.bash ~/.git-completion.sh

# the pre-built man pages
sudo make prefix=/usr/local quick-install-man

# go back to the master branch rather than hanging around on a detached head
git co master

Remote update

I chose not to update the remote server this time as Git 1.6.4.3 doesn't seem to include any changes that are really relevant to its workload. See "Updating to Git 1.6.4" for an example of the update procedure on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Changes in gitweb

There were no changes:

$ git diff v1.6.4.1..v1.6.4.2 -- gitweb

Other changes

For more detail, run git log -p v1.6.4.2..v1.6.4.3; the changes are small enough to make reviewing feasible:

$ git diff --stat v1.6.4.2..v1.6.4.3
