GIT 1.4.0-rc2

GIT 1.4.0-rc2

[Junio C Hamano]

I've tagged the tip of "master" as v1.4.0-rc2.

Many documentation updates, new and much improved gitk, git
aliases stored in .git/config, and most importantly, http-fetch
fix.

I think we are getting there; expect real 1.4.0 this Saturday my
time.  I am planning to throw in a bit of surprise in it as well.
