Great stuff. Though I think it might provoke some patches to improve

Heh. Can you pass along the final version of your build script? I want
to make sure we are doing the same things.

Granted, but Junio seems to do releases at the weekend, and sometimes
they aren't the same content as the previous rc. Though I build and
test 7 days a week, I'd rarely look at the test results over the
weekend. And I was on vacation when the last minute AIX breakage went
into 1.5.6 - not that I would necessarily have been able to fix that
one.

Yes, in theory, last minute code changes could cause a portability
breakage. However, any changes from the last -rc to the release version
tend to be extremely conservative (as judged by Junio), so in practice
I don't think it happens. For example, I think this git-shell bug made
it into master over a month before release.
