The third release candidate for StGit 0.15 is available from the
git://repo.or.cz/stgit.git or http://download.gna.org/stgit/. Bugs can
be reported on the Git mailing list or via the project bugs page
(https://gna.org/bugs/?group=stgit).

StGit is a Python application providing similar functionality to Quilt
(i.e. pushing/popping patches to/from a stack) on top of Git. These
operations are performed using Git commands and the patches are stored
as Git commit objects, allowing easy merging of the StGit patches into
other repositories using standard Git functionality.

Unless there are major issues, the aim is for this to be the last
release candidate before 0.15.

The main changes since release 0.15-rc2:

- 'stg import' command fixes to allow the importing of 'git show' output
  and also support the -pN option for stripping leading slashes from
  diff paths. The author date when importing e-mails is also preserved
- Generate binary diffs by default when exporting patches
- Other bug-fixes
