[ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.5.5.1

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>]

The latest maintenance release GIT 1.5.5.1 is available at the
usual places:

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

  git-1.5.5.1.tar.{gz,bz2}			(tarball)
  git-htmldocs-1.5.5.1.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  git-manpages-1.5.5.1.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.5.5.1-1.$arch.rpm	(RPM)

Fortunately there weren't many brown paper bag breakages we needed to fix
immediately after releasing 1.5.5, but there do exist some usability and
documentation fixes accumulated on the maintenance branch.  This release
delibers them.
