What's in git.git (stable)

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

* The 'maint' branch has produced a new release 1.4.4.2

* In the 'master' branch:

  - we now officially favor 'remotes' information to be in
    $GIT_DIR/config, and 'git clone' records origin in there,
    not in $GIT_DIR/remotes/origin (thanks to Andy Parkins).

  - "git send-pack $URL :refs/heads/$branch" can be used to
    delete a remote branch (so does "git push $URL :$ref" over
    git native protocols).

  - built-in shortlog lets you directly say "git shortlog
    v2.6.18..master", instead of piping an output from the
    corresponding "git log v2.6.18..master" into it.

  - git-svn updates
  - gitweb updates
  - gitk updates
  - bash completion updates
