What's in git.git (stable)

By the end of this week, we will hopefully pretty much know what will be (and what won't be) in 1.5.5. Tonight's 'master' contains Linus's "diff --dirstat" and my "apply ---whitespace" enhancements, among other things. The next 'master' update is expected to be fairly big (see "What's cooking").

----------------------------------------------------------------

* The 'maint' branch has these fixes since v1.5.4.3

Shawn O. Pearce (3):
  Ensure 'make dist' compiles git-archive.exe on Cygwin
  Protect peel_ref fallback case from NULL parse_object result
  Correct fast-export file mode strings to match fast-import standard

----------------------------------------------------------------

* The 'master' branch has these since the last announcement
  in addition to the above.
