Subject: What's in git.git (stable)

From: Junio C Hamano <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2007 01:49:43 -0700

Perhaps it is time for 1.5.0.4 this Wednesday (my time) from
'maint'.

On the 'master' front, Johannes and Matthias cleaned up the
git-bundle and made it (hopefully) usable shape.  Also git-diff
got even nicer when used outside the context of git, again
thanks to Johannes.  I think we are nearing 1.5.1-rc1, which
I'll talk about in "What's cooking".
