What's in git.git (stable)

I've done release 1.5.1.5, which hopefully would be the second
from the last release in 1.5.1 maintenance series (I somehow
ended up missing documentation formatting updates from Matthias
Kestenholz, which fix longstanding ugly formatting mistakes in
some manual pages).

The tip of 'master' will be tagged v1.5.2 hopefully in 24 hours.
Nothing earth shattering since the last message of this series.

----------------------------------------------------------------

* The 'maint' branch has these fixes since the last announcement.

Although there are a few post release fixups queued for v1.5.2.1
on 'maint' already, all things considered I must say v1.5.2 was
a quite good release.  There isn't a huge "oops, hand me a brown
paper bag please" fix yet.  Knock, knock...

On the 'master' front, as promised, the first batch that were on
hold since v1.5.2-rc1 is in.  Nothing earth-shattering, really.
