(subsystems)

* gitweb Perl style clean-up.

* git-svn updates, including a new --authors-prog option to map author
names by invoking an external program.

(portability)

* We feed iconv with "UTF-8" instead of "utf8"; the former is
understood more widely.

(performance)

(usability, bells and whistles)

* "git add --edit" lets users edit the whole patch text to fine-tune what
is added to the index.

* "git log --graph" draws graphs more compactly by using horizonal lines
when able.

* "git log --decorate" shows shorter refnames by stripping well-known
refs/* prefix.

* "git send-email" understands quoted aliases in .mailrc files (might
have to be backported to 1.6.3.X).

* "git send-email" can fetch the sender address from the configuration
variable "sendmail.from" (and "sendmail.<identity>.from").

* "git show-branch" can color its output.

* "add" and "update" subcommands to "git submodule" learned --reference
option to use local clone with references.

(developers)

* A major part of the "git bisect" wrapper has moved to C.

Fixes since v1.6.3

Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to
v1.6.3.X series.

* The way Git.pm sets up a Repository object was not friendly to callers
that chdir around. It now internally records the repository location
as an absolute path when autodetected.
