  Hi!

  This is v0.2 of TopGit; we are steady on our way to v1.0! ;-)

  TopGit is meant as a fresh start in the steps of StGIT, quilt-in-git
and others, of course in an attempt to Get It Right this time around.
TopGit is absolutely minimal porcelain layer that will manage your
patch queue for you using topic branches, one patch per branch,
never rewriting the history in order to enable fully distributed
workflow.  You can get TopGit at

	http://repo.or.cz/w/topgit.git

and read up on its design, usage and implementation at:

	http://repo.or.cz/w/topgit.git?a=blob;f=README


  This version features changed usage of tg create, new tg export command
that can export your patch queue either to a Git branch or Quilt series,
a huge amount of bugfixes, and improved documentation infrastructure.

  Thanks go to Bert Wesarg, Russel Steicke and Antonio Ospite for their
patches - please keep them coming - and to martin f. krafft for
the testing, ideas and presentation to fellow Debian packagers.
