Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Git 1.6.6.rc2

A release candidate Git 1.6.6.rc2 is available at the usual places
for testing:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

  git-1.6.6.rc2.tar.{gz,bz2}			(source tarball)
  git-htmldocs-1.6.6.rc2.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  git-manpages-1.6.6.rc2.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)

The RPM binary packages for a few architectures are found in:

The changes since rc1 are mostly updates to the subsystems.

message when there is no local commit has been fixed; it appeared in rc1.
