It already is beginning to become clear what 1.6.0 will look like. What's
already in 'next' all are well intentioned (I do not guarantee they are
already bug-free --- that is what cooking them in 'next' is for) and are
good set of feature enhancements. Bigger changes will be:
I think most of the important stuff is already in 'next'. Let's start
talking about closing the merge window for 1.6.0.
* Port for MinGW.

[New Topics]
* With the default Makefile settings, most of the programs will be
installed outside your $PATH, except for "git", "gitk", "git-gui" and
some server side programs that need to be accessible for technical
reasons. Invoking a git subcommand as "git-xyzzy" from the command
line has been deprecated since early 2006 (and officially announced in
1.5.4 release notes); use of them from your scripts after adding
output from "git --exec-path" to the $PATH will still be supported in
1.6.0, but users are again strongly encouraged to adjust their
scripts to use "git xyzzy" form, as we will stop installing
"git-xyzzy" hardlinks for built-in commands in later releases.

Some people seem to prefer having this feature available also with gnutls.
If such a patch materializes soon, that would be good, but otherwise I'll
merge this as-is to 'next'. Such an enhancement can be done in-tree on
top of this series.

As 1.6.0 will be a good time to make backward incompatible changes, the
tip commit makes the default expiry period of stash 'never', unless you
configure them to expire explicitly using gc.refs/stash.* variables.
Needs consensus, but I am guessing that enough people would want stash
that does not expire.
