What's in git.git (Nov 2008, #02; Wed, 12)

[Junio C Hamano]

The last maintenance release 1.6.0.4 was released a few days ago.  There
are a few fixes already on 'maint', and also a handful more fixes cooking
in 'next', for 1.6.0.5.

I'd like to start closing the cycle for 1.6.1 by declaring -rc0 by the end
of this week.  In early next month, hopefully -rc1 can contain everything
we have in 'next' tonight, plus a handful more topics that are currently
parked in 'pu'.
