This will be the last update before deciding what should go in 1.6.6-rc1

I do not want to decide unilaterally what will be in and what will be left
out of 1.6.6, so here is a seocnd call for comments.

I said "Perhaps merge it to 'master' before 1.6.6-rc1?" for these:

* uk/maint-shortlog-encoding (2009-11-25) 1 commit.
* fc/send-email-envelope (2009-11-26) 2 commits.
* jc/mailinfo-remove-brackets (2009-07-15) 1 commit.
* tr/reset-checkout-patch (2009-11-19) 1 commit.
* em/commit-claim (2009-11-04) 1 commit
* cc/bisect-doc (2009-11-08) 1 commit
* jc/pretty-lf (2009-10-04) 1 commit.
* ns/send-email-no-chain-reply-to (2009-11-29) 1 commit

I didn't say so in the message but I think this is Ok for 1.6.6-rc1.

* bw/diff-color-hunk-header (2009-11-27) 2 commits

I would love to see necessary fix-ups to make them suitable and include in
the 1.6.6 final for these:

* jn/gitweb-blame (2009-11-24) 8 commits.

I am inclined to keep the rest out of 1.6.6.

Even though I did it myself, I am ambivalent about the diff.bwoutputonly
anti-procrastination measure.  The send-email one looked fine and is a
welcome addition to the "don't surprise users" effort to prepare for 1.7.0,
and diff.bwoutputonly is in a sense in a similar spirit, but an option to
keep an old and broken semantics feels somewhat wrong.

Also anybody has comments on the part for preparing users for 1.7.0 in the
draft release notes?
