-Hopefully the release will be done early next week. The final rc was
13

14
-possible issues.
12
+It seems that a last minute bug or two slipped in with the latest gitk
13
+updates, so I'll probably do the 1.7.10-rc4 tonight or tomorrow with the
14
+two patches posted yesterday and schedule the final by the end of the
15
+week. In the meantime, 1.7.9.6 is also out, to give GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT
16
+support for the maintenance track.
