[ANNOUNCE] Cogito-0.17.3

[Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz>]

  Hello,

  cogito-0.17.3 was just released - bugfixes release on the latest
stable line of the Cogito user-friendly Git user interface.

  Plenty of new stuff, mostly bugfixes - especially cg-admin-rewritehist
was particularily bug-ridden and Git 1.4.0 broke some backwards
compatibility, Cogito 0.17.3 should work smoothly with it again.

  So, what's new?

  * Many cg-admin-rewritehist bugfixes; note that -r semantics was
    changed to match documentation, -k steps in to mean what -r used
    to in practice
  * Some documentation fixes
  * Adjust to some Git 1.4.0 usage changes and new-style git-http-push
  * Several other random things
