[ANNOUNCE] GIT 1.4.2.1

The latest maintenance release GIT 1.4.2.1 is available at the
usual places:

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

  git-1.4.2.1.tar.{gz,bz2}			(tarball)
  git-htmldocs-1.4.2.1.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  git-manpages-1.4.2.1.tar.{gz,bz2}		(preformatted docs)
  RPMS/$arch/git-*-1.4.2.1-1.$arch.rpm	(RPM)

This release is primarily for these two fixes:

 * git-mv was broken.  Notably, this did not work:

	git-mv foo foo-renamed

 * git-http-fetch failed to follow objects/info/alternates on
   the remote side.  This broke a fetch from Paul's powerpc.git
   repository.

I have built i386 and x86_64 RPM this time, since the machine I
do the former has become available again.
