What's in git.git (stable)

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

The latest maintenance release v1.5.1.2 is out.

Tonight's 'master' contains 64-bit index, core subproject
support, and gitattributes (but not the controversial "filter"
part).  As I promised I'd do something about attributes some
time ago (I think it was during v1.5.1 stabilization period), I
am reasonably happy with the state of 'master' right now.  The
other two major topics are also nice, unexpected bonus toward
v1.5.2 from my point of view.

Please expect stabilization cycle for v1.5.2 to start soon.
