Again with a handful fixes, the most important of which is for regression introduced in 1.5.4 to "git fetch" (if you are using .git/branches/it to name your remote repositories, "git fetch it" should update your local "it" branch but it doesn't since the breakage), maybe we would need another maintenance branch soon from 'maint'.

With fixes to a handful regressions in the changes that happened during the 1.5.5 cycle, 'master' is nearling -rc2, which hopefully will happen soon. There still are one or two topics we may want to merge from 'next', but at this point both testers and developers are encouraged to switch to 'master' if you have been using 'next' for your real work to catch the last minute glitches.

----------------------------------------------------------------
* The 'maint' branch has these fixes since the last announcement.

  t/t3800-mktag.sh: use test_must_fail rather than '!'
