[ANNOUNCE] Git 1.7.6.rc1

[ANNOUNCE] Git 1.7.6.rc1

[Junio C Hamano]

A release candidate Git 1.7.6-rc1 is available at the usual places
for testing:

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

  git-1.7.6.rc1.tar.{gz,bz2}			(source tarball)
  git-htmldocs-1.7.6.rc1.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  git-manpages-1.7.6.rc1.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)

The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are found in:

  testing/git-*-1.7.6.rc1-1.fc13.$arch.rpm	(RPM)

A week has passed since the casual "-rc0" was tagged, so here is the first
official release candidate, with RPM and announcement.

Please switch to the tip of 'master' for your daily use so that we can
ship 1.7.6 without regressions and bugs in new features in two weeks.

Thanks.
