This hopefully is pretty much it for 1.5.0 modulo potential bugs
especially in newer topics.  Aside from many bugfixes, changes
since -rc1 are:

 - 'git log' is now reflog aware, and 'git show-branch' which
   knew about reflog already has become much more useful with
   reflogs.

 - the porcelain/ancillary/plumbing categorization in the git
   main documentation has been reviewed and updated.

 - merge and pull operations are much less chatty.

 - operation in a bare repositories is more pleasant.

 - the default file extension for format-patch output is .patch
   now.
