Re: git stopped working with 1.7.1

[Kevin Layer <layer at franz dot com>]

  I tried to install 1.6.1.2 on 1.7.1, but it didn't work.  The clone
  complained that the index-pack program was missing.  I did the usual

    ./configure && make && make install

  so I'm not sure what else to try.


I copied git-index-pack.exe from the build directory to
/usr/local/libexec/git-core/ and now 1.6.1.2 behaves the same as the
cygwin-built git:

  layer@hobart256 ~
  $ git clone git:/repo/git/acl acl
  Initialized empty Git repository in /home/layer/acl/.git/
  remote: Counting objects: 9205, done.
  remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3300/3300), done.
  fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
  fatal: early EOFs:  32% (2946/9205)
  fatal: index-pack failed

  layer@hobart256 ~


So, it would seem that something in cygwin, not git, has made this
fail, since git 1.6.1.2 is working for me with cygwin 1.5.25.
