What's in git.git (stable)

A happy new year.

I think this is more-or-less it to start the -rc1 cycle.  

I'll leave the window open for another week or so before people come back from the christmas and new year break. I have not been working on any of the potential changes other people talked about recently on the list, but things like detached HEAD and more generic per-branch customization may magically materialize from somewhere as a robust and usable set of patches.

I also haven't reviewed the introductory documentation set recently, which I think is necessary before the release.

I'll be sending out an updated draft for v1.5.0 release notes in a separate message.

* The 'master' branch has these since the last announcement.
