What's in git.git (stable)

The 'master' has, aside from trivial fixes and enhancements, the following topics that have been cooking:

 * "verify-pack" improvements;

 * "describe" that warns about a tag whose name and path contradict;

 * "describe --long" to show an tagged commit as $tag-0-$sha1;

 * "cvsimport -M" can be given more than once;

 * "gitweb" grep-search improvements;

A handful of the topics are meant also for 'maint'; after seeing no complaints for a while they will be merged to 'maint' as part of the next maintenance release v1.5.4.4.
