LKML would presumably be the place for Linux to announce when they adopt this.
The Google open source blog is among the several credible options for this post, since Google employs much of the core Git team, and this post discusses their experience deploying Git protocol v2 at Google.
As noted in the blog text, it's not in a released version of Git yet, just Git master branch. So maybe it'll appear on a dedicated Git announcement list, if any, once that happens.
- joatmon-snoo 8y agoJunio posts on the list when there's a new release, e.g. https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqwoxw6kkk.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com/ https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqwoxw6kkk.fsf@gitster-ct.c.g... It seems that https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/git-packagers https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/git-packagers is the closest thing to a formal announcement list that there is.
- jkaplowitz 8y agoOkay, I guess that tie continues for historical reasons. At least people who don't otherwise subscribe to LKML can still receive Git release announcements via the second link. I presume Git 2.18 (the first release supporting protocol v2) will be announced via both channels once it's out.
