And other minor fixes and documentation updates. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.7.2 are as follows: Brandon Casey (1): git-rebase--interactive.sh: use printf instead of echo to print commit message Dan McGee (3): git-instaweb: Fix custom apache log placement git-instaweb: Fix Apache environment variable passing git-instaweb: Don't assume Apache executable is named apache2 Greg Brockman (1): Check size of path buffer before writing into it Johannes Sixt (1): t3700-add: fix dependence on stdout and stderr buffering Jon Seymour (1): INSTALL: configure /etc/xml/catalog to build docs on Cygwin Jonathan Nieder (1): config --get --path: check for unset $HOME Junio C Hamano (3): Git 1.7.0.7 Git 1.7.1.2 Git 1.7.2.1 Matthieu Moy (1): Clarify help message when no remote is specified in fetch/pull.
