[ANNOUNCE] tig-1.2.1

[Jonas Fonseca]

Hello,

Due to a bug in the handling of submodules, here is a new release of
Tig. In addition to the bug fix, this new version reduces memory usage
and startup time of the main view and shows the blob size in the tree
view.

Note to packagers: the manual and manpage documentation files now live
inside the doc/ directory and and have .asciidoc as the extension. The
SITES file has been removed as its content has been merged into README.

What is Tig?
------------

Tig is an ncurses-based text-mode interface for git. It functions mainly
as a Git repository browser, but can also assist in staging changes for
commit at chunk level and act as a pager for output from various Git
commands.

Release notes
-------------
Incompatibilities:

 - Move manual and man pages to doc/ directory and rename AsciiDoc files
   to have .asciidoc as the extension to make them render on GitHub.

Improvements:

 - Show blob sizes in the tree view either as bytes or using binary unit
   prefixes. Example: `set show-file-size = units`. (GH #163)
 - Reduce main view memory usage and startup time, especially when revision
   graph rendering is disabled. (GH #160)

Bug fixes:

 - Fix submodule-related setup to check for non-zero return value from
   setenv(). (GH #188)
