On the 'maint' front, there are a handful gitweb fixes, but
there is nothing major.  I'll perhaps do a v1.5.0.6 if I have
time when I do the v1.5.1-rc2.

I allowed a handful new features to the 'master' side, contrary
to the promise of -rc1 which is supposed to be 'no new features,
only fixes'.  They should be safe changes, though.

 - 'git-diff --quiet' optimizes tree-level comparison by exiting
   early when it finds one difference.  This speeds up path-limited
   form of git-rev-list and git-log significantly.

 - 'git-bisect run <script>' can be used to automate simple
   bisection. 

Notable fixes since -rc1 includes:

 - 'git-clone -q' supresses the "walk" and "got" noises while
   fetching over http.

 - 'git-revert' does not add duplicated abbreviated commit
   object name on the title line anymore.

 - With core.legacyheaders turned off, zero-length loose object
   was incorrectly judged corrupt.

 - 'git-apply' with core.autocrlf generated bogus results.

 - path-limited 'git-bisect' terminated too early before finding
   the guilty commit.

 - the sample update hook does not generate change notification
   e-mails anymore.
