What's in git.git

Executive Summary.

[maint]

  I might do a 1.4.3.5 with the accumulated stuff, but the
  stablization cycle for v1.4.4 has started tonight, so it may
  not be worth the effort, unless something more pressing comes
  along.

[master]

  Three topics that have been cooking in 'next' have been
  merged, I've tagged the tip as v1.4.4-rc1.

   - Nico and Shawn's keep-pack work;

   - Loosening of bogusly overstrict 'a working tree file will
     be overwritten by the merge' check;

   - git-pickaxe.

[next]

  This now is almost empty, and I'd like to keep it that way
  until v1.4.5 final.  IOW, I'd be happier if people sent in
  only obviously correct fixes to 'master' than seeing the next
  greatest feature ;-).

  By the way, do people mind if I start to rewind and rebase
  'next' after every feature release (i.e. tagged release is
  made after 'master')?  I do not feel a strong need for it, and
  'git log --no-merges master..next' will show emptiness
  eventually, but being able to restart from clean slate after a
  release would be somewhat nice.

[pu]

  Johannes's shallow clone work now should rebase cleanly on top
  of 'master' although I haven't done so yet.  As he said
  himself the series is waiting for people who have needs for
  such a feature to raise hands.

  The part #2 of git-diff/git-apply change has a slight backward
  compatibility issue, and until everybody who is affected is
  upgraded to v1.4.3 (which has already prepared us for this
  change) we cannot push it out to 'master'.  It adjusts the
  diff output header for files with SP in their names to what
  GNU patch accepts.
