I've tagged 1.4.3-rc3 but there is a last-minute monkey wrench...

Changes since -rc2 are mostly fixes:

 - Christian Couder fixed the tracing facility so that
   "GIT_TRACE= git-foo" and "unset GIT_TRACE; git-foo" to
   behave the same;

 - Assorted git-svn fixes from Eric Wong;

 - Johannes fixed "diff -w -b";

 - Also Johannes has two fixes to cvsserver;

 - http-fetch transport does not use webdav to discover remote
   refs anymore;

 - breakage in generating RPM (perl-Git) has been fixed;

 - "git-apply --numstat -z" did not terminate line with NUL -- fixed;

 - Martin Waitz made "git diff" to run pager by default;

 - Nicolas Pitre made sideband remote messages to be written out
   with single write(2) to prevent them from being broken up;

 - Rene Scharfe has a good API clean-up:  hash_sha1_file();

 - Yasushi SHOJI noticed and fixed that "git-clone" did not
   correctly handle the origin repository specified as a
   relative directory; it treated it relative to the new
   repository not the directory the command was started from.

But there is already one commit that is rather important on the "master" branch after -rc3. It is needed so that we do not break git older than v1.2.0 (Feb 12, 2006).

I am still hoping we can declare v1.4.3 on coming Wednesday, unless it is eaten by my day job (which is unfortunately not so unusual for me these days), in which case we would have to defer it until next weekend.
