GIT 1.6.0-rc1

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

Ok, so I tagged and pushed it out.  There still is the "git mv" bugfix
from Pasky that is parked in 'next' but other than that I think this is
pretty much "it" for 1.6.0 feature-wise.

Major parts of the changes since 1.6.0-rc0 consists of documentation and
tests portability; there is nothing surprising nor scary.

Test tarballs and RPMs are also there.  Please give it a good beating.
