[ANNOUNCE] Git 1.7.7.rc2

[Junio C Hamano]

A release candidate Git 1.7.7.rc2 is available but unfortunately not at
the usual places. Even so (rather, exactly because it is in unusual
places, so we are likely to have smaller number of casual observers who
grab and build them), please test it to help us make the upcoming release
as solid as we could.

A release candidate tarball is found at:

    http://code.google.com/p/git-core/downloads/list
  
and its SHA-1 checksum is:

1e0e035148df279af689131273570a7dde45950b  git-1.7.7.rc2.tar.gz

Also the following public repositories all have a copy of the v1.7.7-rc2
tag and the master branch that the tag points at:
