------------------------------------------------------------------------
-There are a few fixes on 'maint', in addition to futureproofing of "git
-shell" so that eventually we can update the ssh clients to ask for server
-side programs using "git upload-pack" syntax without a dash between "git"
-and the subcommand name.
+With accumulated fixes, the latest maintenance release 1.5.6.2 is out.
-Many of the medimu size items for 1.6.0 have been merged to 'master'. The
-port to MinGW series will also be merged shortly.
+On the 'master' front, port to MinGW has now been merged, and the next
+major release 1.6.0 is already taking shape.

-GIT v1.6.0 Release Notes (draft)
-================================
-
-User visible changes
---------------------
-
-With the default Makefile settings, most of the programs are now
-installed outside your $PATH, except for "git", "gitk", "git-gui" and
-some server side programs that need to be accessible for technical
-reasons. Invoking a git subcommand as "git-xyzzy" from the command
-line has been deprecated since early 2006 (and officially announced in
-1.5.4 release notes); use of them from your scripts after adding
-output from "git --exec-path" to the $PATH is still supported in this
-release, but users are again strongly encouraged to adjust their
-scripts to use "git xyzzy" form, as we will stop installing
-"git-xyzzy" hardlinks for built-in commands in later releases.
-
-Source changes needed for porting to MinGW environment are now all in the
-main git.git codebase.
-
-By default, packfiles created with this version uses delta-base-offset
-encoding introduced in v1.4.4. Pack idx files are using version 2 that
-allows larger packs and added robustness thanks to its CRC checking,
-introduced in v1.5.2.
-
-
-Updates since v1.5.6
---------------------
-
-(subsystems)
-
-* git-p4 in contrib learned "allowSubmit" configuration to control on
- which branch to allow "submit" subcommand.
-
-(portability)
-
-* Sample hook scripts shipped in templates/ are now suffixed with
- *.sample. We used to prevent them from triggering by default by
- relying on the fact that we install them as unexecutable, but on
- some filesystems this approach does not work. Instead of running
- "chmod +x" on them, the users who want to activate these samples
- as-is can now rename them dropping *.sample suffix.
-
-* perl's in-place edit (-i) does not work well without backup files on Windows;
- some tests are rewritten to cope with this.
-
-(documentation)
-
-* Updated howto/update-hook-example
-
-* Got rid of usage of "git-foo" from the tutorial.
-
-* Disambiguating "--" between revs and paths is finally documented.
-
-(performance, robustness, sanity etc.)
-
-* even more documentation pages are now accessible via "man" and "git help".
-
-* reduced excessive inlining to shrink size of the "git" binary.
-
-* verify-pack checks the object CRC when using version 2 idx files.
-
-* When an object is corrupt in a pack, the object became unusable even
- when the same object is available in a loose form, We now try harder to
- fall back to these redundant objects when able. In particular, "git
- repack -a -f" can be used to fix such a corruption as long as necessary
- objects are available.
-
-* git-clone does not create refs in loose form anymore (it behaves as
- if you immediately ran git-pack-refs after cloning). This will help
- repositories with insanely large number of refs.
-
-* core.fsyncobjectfiles configuration can be used to ensure that the loose
- objects created will be fsync'ed (this is only useful on filesystems
- that does not order data writes properly).
-
-* "git commit-tree" plumbing can make Octopus with more than 16 parents.
- "git commit" has been capable of this for quite some time.
-
-(usability, bells and whistles)
-
-* git-apply can handle a patch that touches the same path more than once
- much better than before.
-
-* git-apply can be told not to trust the line counts recorded in the input
- patch but recount, with the new --recount option.
-
-* git-archive can be told to omit certain paths from its output using
- export-ignore attributes.
-
-* git-clone can clone from a remote whose URL would be rewritten by
- configuration stored in $HOME/.gitconfig now.
-
-* git-diff --check now checks leftover merge conflict markers.
-
-* When remote side used to have branch 'foo' and git-fetch finds that now
- it has branch 'foo/bar', it refuses to lose the existing remote tracking
- branch and its reflog. The error message has been improved to suggest
- pruning the remote if the user wants to proceed and get the latest set
- of branches from the remote, including such 'foo/bar'.
-
-* fast-export learned to export and import marks file; this can be used to
- interface with fast-import incrementally.
-
-* Original SHA-1 value for "update-ref -d" is optional now.
-
-* git-send-mail can talk not just over SSL but over TLS now.
-
-* You can tell "git status -u" to even more aggressively omit checking
- untracked files with --untracked-files=no.
-
-* Error codes from gitweb are made more descriptive where possible, rather
- than "403 forbidden" as we used to issue everywhere.
-
-(internal)
-
-
-Fixes since v1.5.6
-------------------
-
-All of the fixes in v1.5.6 maintenance series are included in
-this release, unless otherwise noted.
-
- * diff -c/--cc showed unnecessary "deletion" lines at the context
- boundary (needs backmerge to maint).
-
- * "git-clone <src> <dst>" did not create leading directories for <dst>
- like the scripted version used to do (needs backport to maint).
-
