Integrate Git

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There really is no discussion area! (ALA CodePlex, the seemingly lesser of 2 
evils these days, I know, MSFT the lesser... *shiver*), I mean you "could" 
label this an issue, and god knows someone would want to, but I dont think it 
really is an issue, so much as a feature request!

On with the Details:
I use TortoiseHg, and its : TortoiseHg 1.1.5 with Mercurial 1.7
I also use TortoiseSVN, and its: TortoiseSVN 1.6.11.20210 with SVN 1.6.13

So I guess my question is what is stopping TortoiseGIT from being: TortoiseGIT 
with Git 1.7.3.1preview20101002 (or similar)???

Im not knocking it, Its not a major issue, I just like having a single .EXE 
having its requirements integrated (ala THg/TSVN as noted above), only having 
to check one site for an update, not having to worry about compatibility (ala 
the mysysgit 1.7.2.3 notice on the front page)issues...

As well as other things to that effect. Im sure its been asked before, but I 
have been unable to find anything after a good 10~min of google searching (my 
average is 3-4 before finding what im after)

Thanks again for TGIT!

what is stopping TortoiseGIT from being: TortoiseGIT with Git 
1.7.3.1preview20101002 (or similar)?

git log change behaviors at --format:"%00"...
Before 1.7.2, git log can output \0 at log, but fail after 1.7.3.

That is reason why tgit 1.5.6 stop working with msysgit 1.7.3. 
tgit 1.5.8 fix this problem.

The reason why tgit is not included with msysgit. 

wix is not easy to include the other msi install package. 
and git have not provided a library like SVN, HG. 

TGit have tried build git as DLL and used in tgit log dialog.
TGit will use more and more function at gitdll.dll.

yes, but this still validates my query, if you included the latest working 
mysysgit with each TortoiseGIT release (like TortoiseSVN/HG do with SVN/Merc), 
that would not be an issue?!

wix? and i made a mistake, not Git buy mysysgit (either way its included), 
which is also here on GoogleCode... so i dont see why the lib release would be 
an issue... 

(its hard to understand your English, but I think I got the jist of it)

couldn't translate to understandable English

A good example of this already in practice is GitExtensions ::: 
https://code.google.com/p/gitextensions/ :::

hopefully since the code is available you will be able to whip something up, I 
dont want to install GitExtensions but dont want more then one package :X

Git extension use different tools to create MSI.
TGit use "WIX".

I don't know how to do that by WIX.

If you know that, you can submit patch.

To make it easier to download msysgit, is it possible to use the new Update 
Check Dialog to download/upgrade msysgit?

ATM, what about writing a message to notify "there is a new msysgit" in line 2 
of version.txt?

Let's think about this.
However, we cannot provide a automatic download for security reasons (for TGit 
we can verify the signature, msysgit isn't signed).

We need not verify the signature. 
Every time a new msysgit is released, we goto msysgit googlecode download page. 
Thereis a SHA-1 checksum. Then copy this checksum to version.git. Then we can 
verify the checksum.

For msysgit updates: We do not know if it's a msysgit installation (we also do 
not know if it's the full-install or the "compile on your own" version) or some 
other git tool.

We only provide info about "Full installer for official Git for Windows", 
because most users download this

https://tortoisegit.googlecode.com/git/src/Changelog.txt
"tortoisegit.googlecode.com" is trusted

but
https://version.tortoisegit.googlecode.com/git/version.txt

The "version.tortoisegit" part is not trusted.

For version.txt, find a hosting that supports https and trusted, such as github.
I tested that https://raw.github.com is trusted.

Signed git-for-windows installer is done!
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/155#issuecomment-106496890

Should we take any action?
