GIT 0.99.9e

[Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>]

GIT 0.99.9e maintenance release is found at the usual places:

RPM, tarballs, and deb:

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

With git, fetch maint branch from

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/

It contains everything from the master branch.  Since we seem to
be shelving the separate git binary directory idea indefinitely,
what we have here is pretty much what will be in 1.0, from the
source code POV.

 - http-push seems to still have a bug or two but that is to be
   expected for any new code, and I am reasonably sure it can be
   ironed out; preferably before 1.0 but it is not a
   showstopper.

 - I've done the initial round of package splitting for Debian
   side myself, but it probably needs proofreading and fixing by
   experienced Debian person.  Similar RPM package splitting
   that parallels the above is needed.  Although it is not an
   absolute requirement for my sources to have perfect binary
   packaging support (I am just an upstream for binary
   packagers), it is certainly desirable to have RPM specs and
   debian/ files in a presentable shape for 1.0.

 - I still need to go over the tutorial and core-ish
   documentation once for consistency checks.
