Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Git 1.7.6.3

The latest maintenance release Git 1.7.6.3 is available but unfortunately
not at the usual places.

The release tarball is found at:

    http://code.google.com/p/git-core/downloads/list

and its SHA-1 checksum is:

7264c0b0d97cb6a70447ba3b4b6fa488810d8115  git-1.7.6.3.tar.gz

Also the following public repositories all have a copy of the v1.7.6.3
tag and the maint branch that the tag points at:

        url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git
        url = https://code.google.com/p/git-core/
        url = git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git
        url = git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core
        url = https://github.com/gitster/git

Git v1.7.6.3 Release Notes
==========================

Fixes since v1.7.6.2
--------------------

 * "git -c var=value subcmd" misparsed the custom configuration when
   value contained an equal sign.

 * "git fetch" had a major performance regression, wasting many
   needless cycles in a repository where there is no submodules
   present. This was especially bad, when there were many refs.

 * "git reflog $refname" did not default to the "show" subcommand as
   the documentation advertised the command to do.

 * "git reset" did not leave meaningful log message in the reflog.

 * "git status --ignored" did not show ignored items when there is no
   untracked items.

 * "git tag --contains $commit" was unnecessarily inefficient.

Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
