Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Git 1.7.8-rc4

A release candidate Git 1.7.8-rc4 is available for testing. This hopefully
is the last rc before the final release (we had to make a last-minute UI
tweak to a new feature in multi-step "revert" command to avoid later
regrets). We already have interesting topics queued together with proposed
fixes for older non-regression bugs which would make the next cycle short,
sweet and fun.

The release tarballs are found at:

and their SHA-1 checksums are:

Also the following public repositories all have a copy of the v1.7.8.rc4
tag and the master branch that the tag points at:
