[ANNOUNCE] tig-0.10

[Jonas Fonseca <fonseca@diku.dk>]

Hello,

A new version of tig is available! It brings many documentation
improvements, bug fixes, and some much needed updates to work better
with git (e.g. by using --no-color and avoiding to use git-diff). On
startup, tig will now attempt to first read a system-wide configuration
file before loading the user specific configuration file. Cherry picking
from inside tig has been generalized, making it possible to wire
external commands, which can access information about the current
commit, to a keybinding.

Among possible incompatible changes, option parsing has been changed to
be more similar with gitk's by deprecating almost all tig options, so to
startup in the status view use `tig status'! Building the documentation
(sadly?) now depends on DocBook XSL 1.72 to reduce the number of
accumulated AsciiDoc and XSL hacks.

In the pipeline for the next release are improved rename support in the
status view and encoding and drawing fixes from Dominik Vogt. The
deprecated options will probably also go away, including the special
handling of "--".

What is tig?
------------
Tig is a ncurses-based text-mode interface for git. It functions mainly
as a git repository browser, but can also act as a pager for output from
various git commands.
