What's in git.git (stable)

* The 'maint' branch has produced a new release 1.4.4.2

* In the 'master' branch:

- we now officially favor 'remotes' information to be in
$GIT_DIR/config, and 'git clone' records origin in there,
not in $GIT_DIR/remotes/origin (thanks to Andy Parkins).

- "git send-pack $URL :refs/heads/$branch" can be used to
delete a remote branch (so does "git push $URL :$ref" over
git native protocols).

- built-in shortlog lets you directly say "git shortlog
v2.6.18..master", instead of piping an output from the
corresponding "git log v2.6.18..master" into it.

- git-svn updates
- gitweb updates
- gitk updates
- bash completion updates

The shortlog since the last announcement for 'master' is:
