[ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.6.3.1

[Junio C Hamano]

The latest maintenance release GIT 1.6.3.1 is available at the
usual places:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

  git-1.6.3.1.tar.{gz,bz2}			(source tarball)
  git-htmldocs-1.6.3.1.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  git-manpages-1.6.3.1.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)

The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are found in:

  RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.6.3.1-1.fc9.$arch.rpm	(RPM)

Embarrasingly 1.6.3 has a rather grave regression when you switch to a new
branch while you have some changes added to the index.  A commit you make
from that index will record a wrong tree.  Please consider this a hotfix
and do not use vanilla 1.6.3.

      Clarify kind of conflict in merge-one-file helper
