Insufficiently Random

I have decided to no longer support pg, as I haven’t used it myself in a very, very long time.  It was a useful tool and learning vehicle for myself and a few others, but it just isn’t nearly as good as core Git with topic branches.  Or git-gui.

A little while ago I discovered pg 0.1.6 had some issues with more recent GIT versions, such as GIT 1.4.1 due to some changes in command line parameter handling.

Consequently pg 0.1.7 is now available. Here is the shortlog of changes:

* When backing up into a new directory GIT 1.3.1 won’t copy
* Corrected diff-index usage for GIT 1.4.1.
* Add raw diff support to pg-files.
* Add –base=foo option to pg-new.

I’ve made quite a few changes to pg since the last listed release of v0.1.1, I just haven’t published it on my website.

I’m finally making the first public release of pg (aka Patchy GIT).

pg is a shell script wrapper around GIT to help the user manage a set of patches to files. pg is somewhat like quilt or StGIT, but it does have a slightly different feature set. For one thing pg may not have everything you want. Yet. On the other hand pg does things differently then StGIT.
