What's in git.git (Apr 2009, #01; Thu, 09)

We have quite a few documentation fixes accumulated on the maint branch; perhaps a new maintenance release 1.6.2.3 mid next week.

On the 'master' front, there are currently 6 topics cooking in 'next', all of which look quite good. I'll probably tag 1.6.3-rc0 this weekend with most of these topics and keep cooking the rest for 1.6.4 cycle.

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