13 -tagged and pushed out today so that people can play with it and report

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.
