Great stuff. Though I think it might provoke some patches to improve
the display of multiple long tag names for the same commit in gitweb!

Granted, but Junio seems to do releases at the weekend, and sometimes
they aren't the same content as the previous rc. Though I build and
test 7 days a week, I'd rarely look at the test results over the
weekend. And I was on vacation when the last minute AIX breakage went
into 1.5.6 - not that I would necessarily have been able to fix that
one.
