What's in git.git (stable)

There are quite a few backported fixes on 'maint' and it might make sense to cut 1.5.3.7 soon.

On 'master' front, many topics that have been cooking in 'next' have graduated. Notably:

 - git-bisect learns "skip";

 - git-rebase --skip does not need "reset --hard" beforehand;

 - git-clean is now in C;

 - git-push is much more careful reporting errors and updateing tracking
   refs.

 - git-push learns --mirror option.

Also contains the 0.9.0 series of git-gui with i18n.
