Just to clarify
The savannah server had a hardware fault (disk I think) a few days
back. Unfortunately, due to issues with their backups, they didn't/don't
have a recent backup of many of the source code repositories. Therefore,
they are having to get versions pushed back from developer's own git
repositories (not sure what they plan for the cvs and svn repos).
What this means is that the current repository is likely the one from
the last reliable backup, which I think may have been as far back as
April.
So, my advice would be to wait another few days and see if the
repository becomes more up-to-date.
