[ANNOUNCE] Git v2.13.4

[Junio C Hamano]

The latest maintenance release Git v2.13.4 is now available at
the usual places.

There is no update that is particulary important or controversial in
this release; it is primarily to flush the safer fixes that have
already been in the 'master' branch in preparation for the v2.14.0
release down to the maintenance track.

The tarballs are found at:

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

The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.13.4'
tag and the 'maint' branch that the tag points at:

Git v2.13.4 Release Notes
=========================

Fixes since v2.13.3
-------------------

 * Update the character width tables.

 * A recent update broke an alias that contained an uppercase letter,
   which has been fixed.

 * On Cygwin, similar to Windows, "git push //server/share/repository"
   ought to mean a repository on a network share that can be accessed
   locally, but this did not work correctly due to stripping the double
   slashes at the beginning.

 * The progress meter did not give a useful output when we haven't had
   0.5 seconds to measure the throughput during the interval.  Instead
   show the overall throughput rate at the end, which is a much more
   useful number.

 * We run an early part of "git gc" that deals with refs before
   daemonising (and not under lock) even when running a background
   auto-gc, which caused multiple gc processes attempting to run the
   early part at the same time.  This is now prevented by running the
   early part also under the GC lock.

Also contains a handful of small code and documentation clean-ups.
