Documentation: move RelNotes into a directory of their own

There are 108 of them already.  That's a bit more than one third of
all the files in the Documentation directory already, and still growing.

-GIT v1.5.3 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Updates since v1.5.2
---------------------
-
-* The commit walkers other than http are officially deprecated,
-  but still supported for now.
-
-* The submodule support has Porcelain layer.
-
-  Note that the current submodule support is minimal and this is
-  deliberately so.  A design decision we made is that operations
-  at the supermodule level do not recurse into submodules by
-  default.  The expectation is that later we would add a
-  mechanism to tell git which submodules the user is interested
-  in, and this information might be used to determine the
-  recursive behaviour of certain commands (e.g. "git checkout"
-  and "git diff"), but currently we haven't agreed on what that
-  mechanism should look like.  Therefore, if you use submodules,
-  you would probably need "git submodule update" on the
-  submodules you care about after running a "git checkout" at
-  the supermodule level.
-
-* There are a handful pack-objects changes to help you cope better
-  with repositories with pathologically large blobs in them.
-
-* For people who need to import from Perforce, a front-end for
-  fast-import is in contrib/fast-import/.
-
-* Comes with git-gui 0.8.2.
-
-* Comes with updated gitk.
-
-* New commands and options.
-
-  - "git log --date=<format>" can use more formats: iso8601, rfc2822.
-
-  - The hunk header output from "git diff" family can be customized
-    with the attributes mechanism.  See gitattributes(5) for details.
-
-  - "git stash" allows you to quickly save away your work in
-    progress and replay it later on an updated state.
-
-  - "git rebase" learned an "interactive" mode that let you
-    pick and reorder which commits to rebuild.
-
-  - "git fsck" can save its findings in $GIT_DIR/lost-found, without a
-    separate invocation of "git lost-found" command.  The blobs stored by
-    lost-found are stored in plain format to allow you to grep in them.
-
-  - $GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable can be used together with
-    $GIT_DIR to work in a subdirectory of a working tree that is
-    not located at "$GIT_DIR/..".
-
-  - Giving "--file=<file>" option to "git config" is the same as
-    running the command with GIT_CONFIG=<file> environment.
-
-  - "git log" learned a new option "--follow", to follow
-    renaming history of a single file.
-
-  - "git filter-branch" lets you rewrite the revision history of
-    specified branches. You can specify a number of filters to
-    modify the commits, files and trees.
-
-  - "git cvsserver" learned new options (--base-path, --export-all,
-    --strict-paths) inspired by "git daemon".
-
-  - "git daemon --base-path-relaxed" can help migrating a repository URL
-    that did not use to use --base-path to use --base-path.
-
-  - "git commit" can use "-t templatefile" option and commit.template
-    configuration variable to prime the commit message given to you in the
-    editor.
-
-  - "git submodule" command helps you manage the projects from
-    the superproject that contain them.
-
-  - In addition to core.compression configuration option,
-    core.loosecompression and pack.compression options can
-    independently tweak zlib compression levels used for loose
-    and packed objects.
-
-  - "git ls-tree -l" shows size of blobs pointed at by the
-    tree entries, similar to "/bin/ls -l".
-
-  - "git rev-list" learned --regexp-ignore-case and
-    --extended-regexp options to tweak its matching logic used
-    for --grep filtering.
-
-  - "git describe --contains" is a handier way to call more
-    obscure command "git name-rev --tags".
-
-  - "git gc --aggressive" tells the command to spend more cycles
-    to optimize the repository harder.
-
-  - "git repack" learned a "window-memory" limit which
-    dynamically reduces the window size to stay within the
-    specified memory usage.
-
-  - "git repack" can be told to split resulting packs to avoid
-    exceeding limit specified with "--max-pack-size".
-
-  - "git fsck" gained --verbose option.  This is really really
-    verbose but it might help you identify exact commit that is
-    corrupt in your repository.
-
-  - "git format-patch" learned --numbered-files option.  This
-    may be useful for MH users.
-
-  - "git format-patch" learned format.subjectprefix configuration
-    variable, which serves the same purpose as "--subject-prefix"
-    option.
-
-  - "git tag -n -l" shows tag annotations while listing tags.
-
-  - "git cvsimport" can optionally use the separate-remote layout.
-
-  - "git blame" can be told to see through commits that change
-    whitespaces and indentation levels with "-w" option.
-
-  - "git send-email" can be told not to thread the messages when
-    sending out more than one patches.
-
-  - "git send-email" can also be told how to find whom to cc the
-    message to for each message via --cc-cmd.
-
-  - "git config" learned NUL terminated output format via -z to
-    help scripts.
-
-  - "git add" learned "--refresh <paths>..." option to selectively refresh
-    the cached stat information.
-
-  - "git init -q" makes the command quieter.
-
-  - "git -p command" now has a cousin of opposite sex, "git --no-pager
-    command".
-
-* Updated behavior of existing commands.
-
-  - "gitweb" can offer multiple snapshot formats.
-
-    ***NOTE*** Unfortunately, this changes the format of the
-    $feature{snapshot}{default} entry in the per-site
-    configuration file 'gitweb_config.perl'.  It used to be a
-    three-element tuple that describe a single format; with the
-    new configuration item format, you only have to say the name
-    of the format ('tgz', 'tbz2' or 'zip').  Please update the
-    your configuration file accordingly.
-
-  - "git clone" uses -l (hardlink files under .git) by default when
-    cloning locally.
-
-  - URL used for "git clone" and friends can specify nonstandard SSH port
-    by using ssh://host:port/path/to/repo syntax.
-
-  - "git bundle create" can now create a bundle without negative refs,
-    i.e. "everything since the beginning up to certain points".
-
-  - "git diff" (but not the plumbing level "git diff-tree") now
-    recursively descends into trees by default.
-
-  - "git diff" does not show differences that come only from
-    stat-dirtiness in the form of "diff --git" header anymore.
-    It runs "update-index --refresh" silently as needed.
-
-  - "git tag -l" used to match tags by globbing its parameter as if it
-    has wildcard '*' on both ends, which made "git tag -l gui" to match
-    tag 'gitgui-0.7.0'; this was very annoying.  You now have to add
-    asterisk on the sides you want to wildcard yourself.
-
-  - The editor to use with many interactive commands can be
-    overridden with GIT_EDITOR environment variable, or if it
-    does not exist, with core.editor configuration variable.  As
-    before, if you have neither, environment variables VISUAL
-    and EDITOR are consulted in this order, and then finally we
-    fall back on "vi".
-
-  - "git rm --cached" does not complain when removing a newly
-    added file from the index anymore.
-
-  - Options to "git log" to affect how --grep/--author options look for
-    given strings now have shorter abbreviations.  -i is for ignore case,
-    and -E is for extended regexp.
-
-  - "git log" learned --log-size to show the number of bytes in
-    the log message part of the output to help qgit.
-
-  - "git log --name-status" does not require you to give "-r" anymore.
-    As a general rule, Porcelain commands should recurse when showing
-    diff.
-
-  - "git format-patch --root A" can be used to format everything
-    since the beginning up to A.  This was supported with
-    "git format-patch --root A A" for a long time, but was not
-    properly documented.
-
-  - "git svn dcommit" retains local merge information.
-
-  - "git svnimport" allows an empty string to be specified as the
-    trunk/ directory.  This is necessary to suck data from a SVN
-    repository that doe not have trunk/ branches/ and tags/ organization
-    at all.
-
-  - "git config" to set values also honors type flags like --bool
-    and --int.
-
-  - core.quotepath configuration can be used to make textual git
-    output to emit most of the characters in the path literally.
-
-  - "git mergetool" chooses its backend more wisely, taking
-    notice of its environment such as use of X, Gnome/KDE, etc.
-
-  - "gitweb" shows merge commits a lot nicer than before.  The
-    default view uses more compact --cc format, while the UI
-    allows to choose normal diff with any parent.
-
-  - snapshot files "gitweb" creates from a repository at
-    $path/$project/.git are more useful.  We use $project part
-    in the filename, which we used to discard.
-
-  - "git cvsimport" creates lightweight tags; there is no
-    interesting information we can record in an annotated tag,
-    and the handcrafted ones the old code created was not
-    properly formed anyway.
-
-  - "git push" pretends that you immediately fetched back from
-    the remote by updating corresponding remote tracking
-    branches if you have any.
-
-  - The diffstat given after a merge (or a pull) honors the
-    color.diff configuration.
-
-  - "git commit --amend" is now compatible with various message source
-    options such as -m/-C/-c/-F.
-
-  - "git apply --whitespace=strip" removes blank lines added at
-    the end of the file.
-
-  - "git fetch" over git native protocols with "-v" option shows
-    connection status, and the IP address of the other end, to
-    help diagnosing problems.
-
-  - We used to have core.legacyheaders configuration, when
-    set to false, allowed git to write loose objects in a format
-    that mimics the format used by objects stored in packs.  It
-    turns out that this was not so useful.  Although we will
-    continue to read objects written in that format, we do not
-    honor that configuration anymore and create loose objects in
-    the legacy/traditional format.
-
-  - "--find-copies-harder" option to diff family can now be
-    spelled as "-C -C" for brevity.
-
-  - "git mailsplit" (hence "git am") can read from Maildir
-    formatted mailboxes.
-
-  - "git cvsserver" does not barf upon seeing "cvs login"
-    request.
-
-  - "pack-objects" honors "delta" attribute set in
-    .gitattributes.  It does not attempt to deltify blobs that
-    come from paths with delta attribute set to false.
-
-  - "new-workdir" script (in contrib) can now be used with a
-    bare repository.
-
-  - "git mergetool" learned to use gvimdiff.
-
-  - "gitview" (in contrib) has a better blame interface.
-
-  - "git log" and friends did not handle a commit log message
-    that is larger than 16kB; they do now.
-
-  - "--pretty=oneline" output format for "git log" and friends
-    deals with "malformed" commit log messages that have more
-    than one lines in the first paragraph better.  We used to
-    show the first line, cutting the title at mid-sentence; we
-    concatenate them into a single line and treat the result as
-    "oneline".
-
-  - "git p4import" has been demoted to contrib status.  For
-    a superior option, checkout the "git p4" front end to
-    "git fast-import" (also in contrib).  The man page and p4
-    rpm have been removed as well.
-
-  - "git mailinfo" (hence "am") now tries to see if the message
-    is in utf-8 first, instead of assuming iso-8859-1, if
-    incoming e-mail does not say what encoding it is in.
-
-* Builds
-
-  - old-style function definitions (most notably, a function
-    without parameter defined with "func()", not "func(void)")
-    have been eradicated.
-
-  - "git tag" and "git verify-tag" have been rewritten in C.
-
-* Performance Tweaks
-
-  - "git pack-objects" avoids re-deltification cost by caching
-    small enough delta results it creates while looking for the
-    best delta candidates.
-
-  - "git pack-objects" learned a new heuristic to prefer delta
-    that is shallower in depth over the smallest delta
-    possible.  This improves both overall packfile access
-    performance and packfile density.
-
-  - diff-delta code that is used for packing has been improved
-    to work better on big files.
-
-  - when there are more than one pack files in the repository,
-    the runtime used to try finding an object always from the
-    newest packfile; it now tries the same packfile as we found
-    the object requested the last time, which exploits the
-    locality of references.
-
-  - verifying pack contents done by "git fsck --full" got boost
-    by carefully choosing the order to verify objects in them.
-
-  - "git read-tree -m" to read into an already populated index
-    has been optimized vastly.  The effect of this can be seen
-    when switching branches that have differences in only a
-    handful paths.
-
-  - "git add paths..." and "git commit paths..." has also been
-    heavily optimized.
-
-Fixes since v1.5.2
-------------------
-
-All of the fixes in v1.5.2 maintenance series are included in
-this release, unless otherwise noted.
-
-* Bugfixes
-
-  - "gitweb" had trouble handling non UTF-8 text with older
-    Encode.pm Perl module.
-
-  - "git svn" misparsed the data from the commits in the repository when
-    the user had "color.diff = true" in the configuration.  This has been
-    fixed.
-
-  - There was a case where "git svn dcommit" clobbered changes made on the
-    SVN side while committing multiple changes.
-
-  - "git-write-tree" had a bad interaction with racy-git avoidance and
-    gitattributes mechanisms.
-
-  - "git --bare command" overrode existing GIT_DIR setting and always
-    made it treat the current working directory as GIT_DIR.
-
-  - "git ls-files --error-unmatch" does not complain if you give the
-    same path pattern twice by mistake.
-
-  - "git init" autodetected core.filemode but not core.symlinks, which
-    made a new directory created automatically by "git clone" cumbersome
-    to use on filesystems that require these configurations to be set.
-
-  - "git log" family of commands behaved differently when run as "git
-    log" (no pathspec) and as "git log --" (again, no pathspec).  This
-    inconsistency was introduced somewhere in v1.3.0 series but now has
-    been corrected.
-
-  - "git rebase -m" incorrectly displayed commits that were skipped.
