Support request produces a theme revision

I started a thread in the Tarski forum, Plugins: Front-end Editor (scribu) plugin: use of the_title_attribute() instead of the_title() (truncated after use of) in order to resolve one of the reasons why the Front-end Editor plugin wasn't working.

I described my experience more generally in A good news story on plugin and theme support.

In brief, I asked whether in loop.php, I could replace that the_title() with the_title_attribute() as recommended by by scribu in Common Mistakes In Themes.

Ben Eastaugh replied:

Probably not. I’ll take a look at changing it for the next release. That code was probably written a couple of years before the the_title_attribute function existed.

I had responded to Ben Eastaugh with a thanks and he replied that he had changed loop.php to use the_title_attribute:

Done. Not completely sure when the next version will be released, but hopefully fairly soon.

and in the commit, he wrote:

Use `the_title_attribute` function when printing a post title within an element attribute. Thanks to robinm for spotting this one.

I'm not sure how the Git repository works and whether I can simply obtain a copy of the new version of loop.php and replace the current version with it.
