What's in git.git (Nov 2008, #04; Wed, 26)

I suspect many people especially the ones in the US will be in vacation mode and not near their keyboards til next week, but here is an update.

There are a few 'maint' material cooking in 'next' and v1.6.0.5 should be tagged at the end of the month.

At around the same time I am hoping majority of topics cooking in 'next' tonight can be in 'master' and we can tagl v1.6.1-rc1.

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