What's in git.git

* The 'maint' branch has these fixes since the last announcement.
I am planning to cut a 1.4.2.1 with them soon.
Dennis Stosberg:
Solaris does not support C99 format strings before version 10
Johannes Schindelin:
git-mv: succeed even if source is a prefix of destination
git-mv: add more path normalization
Junio C Hamano:
finish_connect(): thinkofix
* The 'master' branch has these since the last announcement.
- Many many clean-ups by David Rientjes.
- Portability fixes by Dennis Stosberg for Solaris.
- Franck Bui-Huu's "format-patch --signoff" updates.
- Gitweb clean-up continues, headed by Jakub Narebski with
help from Martin Waitz and Yasushi Shoji.
- There was a code to sleep before writing out the index, in
order to avoid paying runtime costs in the racy-git
avoidance code later. After some experimenting and a bit of
thinking, removed this sleep. While at it, documented what
the racy-git problem is and how the avoidance works.
- Ville Skyttä updated Emacs VC support.
* The 'next' branch, in addition, has these.
- Git.pm/Git.xs series as before (no change)
- git-merge-recur as before (no change)
- upload-pack tweaks for the case where downloader has more
root than the server (no change -- need testing)
- git-apply --reverse --binary (new)
Earlier "git apply --reverse" rejected binary patch because
our binary patch format was irreversible. So I made it
reversible, and wrote some tests. This affects both diff
and apply.
* The 'pu' branch, in addition, has these.
- git-status WIP
I am hoping I can drop this; the implementation Peff
outlined sounded far simpler and cleaner.
- git-apply --reject (WIP)
I started working on an option to let 'git apply' apply a
patch whose some hunks do and some hunks do not apply, while
leaving rejects in a separate file (or files). Haven't
started testing this yet, though.
