What's in git.git

Executive summary:

 * (maint) hopefully the last maintenance release for v1.5.2
   codebase, v1.5.2.4, is out.

 * (master) v1.5.3 is nicely progressing and we have v1.5.3-rc1
   out, but it has a serious last minute glitch in pack-objects,
   so please do not use "git-gc", or "git-repack" from vanilla
   v1.5.3-rc1.

   v1.5.3-rc1-1-g7d7baa5 or later should be Ok.

 * (next/pu) No topics are cooking in 'next' right now, although
   I might apply a few series I did not pick up from the list in
   the past few days, just to keep them from getting lost.

As usual, v1.5.3-rc1 means:

 * I personally will be using 'master' version for my work until
   v1.5.3 final (I usually run 'next', and switch to 'master'
   after -rc0); I ask contributors to do the same to shake out
   the last minute bugs from 'master'.

 * No more features and large code churning on 'master' until
   v1.5.3 final.

 * Bugfixes and documenation updates are always welcomed, but
   even more so than usual until v1.5.3 final.

I'll send out a draft release notes for v1.5.3 in a separate message.

----------------------------------------------------------------

* The 'maint' branch spawned 1.5.2.4 with accumulated fixes.
  Most notably, we are in sync with git-gui 0.7.5.

* The 'master' branch has these since the last announcement; 
  we are at v1.5.3-rc1 plus a few fixes.
