With a few late topics came quite a few regression fixes to make us ready for -rc1. * gitk, git-gui and git-p4 have been updated. * "git gc --auto" annoyance is hopefully reduced away. * Breakage in automated tag following by git-fetch rewritten in C has hopefully been fixed. * Quite a few portability improvements from Solaris porting efforts. * "git remote show" does not talk about symrefs anymore. * "git help" updates to plug in more backends. * "git submodule summary" to show symmetric differences between commits in submodules. --- * The 'maint' branch has these fixes since the last announcement.
