Subject: [ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.4.2.1

The latest maintenance release GIT 1.4.2.1 is available at the
usual places:

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

git-1.4.2.1.tar.{gz,bz2} (tarball)
git-htmldocs-1.4.2.1.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs)
git-manpages-1.4.2.1.tar.{gz,bz2} (preformatted docs)
RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.4.2.1-1.$arch.rpm (RPM)

This release is primarily for these two fixes:

* git-mv was broken. Notably, this did not work:

git-mv foo foo-renamed

* git-http-fetch failed to follow objects/info/alternates on
the remote side. This broke a fetch from Paul's powerpc.git
repository.

I have built i386 and x86_64 RPM this time, since the machine I
do the former has become available again.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Changes since v1.4.2 are as follows:

Dennis Stosberg:
Solaris does not support C99 format strings before version 10

Johannes Schindelin:
git-mv: succeed even if source is a prefix of destination
git-mv: add more path normalization
git-mv: special case destination "."
git-mv: fix off-by-one error
builtin-mv: readability patch

Junio C Hamano:
finish_connect(): thinkofix
http-fetch: fix alternates handling.

Luben Tuikov:
Fix regex pattern in commit-msg
