Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Git 1.7.8.rc1

A release candidate Git 1.7.8.rc1 is available for testing. Since rc0, we
killed all known regressions. Because there won't be any more new feature
merged until the 1.7.8 final, it is a good time for the coolest kids on
the block to start using the upcoming release before others do.

The release tarballs are found at:

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

and their SHA-1 checksums are:
