[ANNOUNCE qgit-1.0rc2]

Two new main features:

1) Thanks to Johannes's new --patch-with-stat option in git-diff-tree
we can now show stat info at the beginning of the patch. (Still not
working with merges)

2) A more then 20% speed up due to a heavy optimizing work on some
internal structures.
Interesting enough also the text size has been shrunk of 24KB.

Now qgit is really very very very fast :-)

In my old PC a complete Linux tree loading (on warmed-up cache) passes from 6.8s to 5.4s.

CHANGELOG

 - show stat info in patch viewer. Use new --patch-with-stat
git-diff-tree option

- revisions storing update. Change revisions container and defer parsing

- use a circular buffer instead of a double buffer to load data

- defer graph lanes calculation. Drawing was already deferred

- remove useless option "File window always on top"

- pop-up a warning if external diff viewer fails to start

- add a pop-up menu in file list window

- avoid to show patches not in current StGIT branch

- fix StGIT commit to remove temporary files when finished

- small GUI tweaks
