Subject: [ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.5.6.2

The latest maintenance release GIT 1.5.6.2 are available at the usual
places:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

  git-1.5.6.2.tar.{gz,bz2}			(source tarball)
  git-htmldocs-1.5.6.2.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  git-manpages-1.5.6.2.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)

The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are also provided as
courtesy.  As the machine I cut them at kernel.org has been updated to FC9
recently, their filenames now have .fc9. in them.

  RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.5.6.2-1.fc9.$arch.rpm	(RPM)

There still are a handful more fixes queued for 'maint' so we might see
another maintenance release, 1.5.6.3, not too far in the future.
