What's in git.git (stable)

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>]

I'll hopefully soon apply the RPM spec patch from Kristian
Høgsberg to 'maint' and cut 1.5.4.2.  It will have bunch of
config parser related fixes among others.

On the 'master' front, a handful topics have graduated:

 - Brian Downing's compat/qsort;
 - Crhstian Couder's browser wrapper;
 - Paolo Bonzini's prepare-commit-msg hook;
 - Steffen Prohaska's safe-crlf;
 - "foo/" in .gitignore matches directory "foo".

Also, updated versions of gitk and git-gui are included.

Have fun.
