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 v1.5.4 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Removal
--------
-
- * "git svnimport" was removed in favor of "git svn".  It is still there
-   in the source tree (contrib/examples) but unsupported.
-
- * As git-commit and git-status have been rewritten, "git runstatus"
-   helper script lost all its users and has been removed.
-
-
-Temporarily disabled
---------------------
-
- * "git http-push" is known not to work well with cURL library older
-   than 7.16, and we had reports of repository corruption.  It is
-   disabled on such platforms for now.  Unfortunately, 1.5.3.8 shares
-   the same issue.  In other words, this does not mean you will be
-   fine if you stick to an older git release.  For now, please do not
-   use http-push from older git with cURL older than 7.16 if you
-   value your data. A proper fix will hopefully materialize in
-   later versions.
-
-
-Deprecation notices
--------------------
-
- * From v1.6.0, git will by default install dashed form of commands
-   (e.g. "git-commit") outside of users' normal $PATH, and will install
-   only selected commands ("git" itself, and "gitk") in $PATH.  This
-   implies:
-
-   - Using dashed forms of git commands (e.g. "git-commit") from the
-     command line has been informally deprecated since early 2006, but
-     now it officially is, and will be removed in the future.  Use
-     dash-less forms (e.g. "git commit") instead.
-
-   - Using dashed forms from your scripts, without first prepending the
-     return value from "git --exec-path" to the scripts' PATH, has been
-     informally deprecated since early 2006, but now it officially is.
-
-   - Use of dashed forms with "PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH; export
-     PATH" early in your script is not deprecated with this change.
-
-   Users are strongly encouraged to adjust their habits and scripts now
-   to prepare for this change.
-
- * The post-receive hook was introduced in March 2007 to supersede
-   the post-update hook, primarily to overcome the command line length
-   limitation of the latter.  Use of post-update hook will be deprecated
-   in future versions of git, starting from v1.6.0.
-
- * "git lost-found" was deprecated in favor of "git fsck"'s --lost-found
-   option, and will be removed in the future.
-
- * "git peek-remote" is deprecated, as "git ls-remote" was written in C
-   and works for all transports; "git peek-remote" will be removed in
-   the future.
-
- * "git repo-config" which was an old name for "git config" command
-   has been supported without being advertised for a long time.  The
-   next feature release will remove it.
-
- * From v1.6.0, the repack.usedeltabaseoffset config option will default
-   to true, which will give denser packfiles (i.e. more efficient storage).
-   The downside is that git older than version 1.4.4 will not be able
-   to directly use a repository packed using this setting.
-
- * From v1.6.0, the pack.indexversion config option will default to 2,
-   which is slightly more efficient, and makes repacking more immune to
-   data corruptions.  Git older than version 1.5.2 may revert to version 1
-   of the pack index with a manual "git index-pack" to be able to directly
-   access corresponding pack files.
-
-
-Updates since v1.5.3
---------------------
-
- * Comes with much improved gitk, with i18n.
-
- * Comes with git-gui 0.9.2 with i18n.
-
- * gitk is now merged as a subdirectory of git.git project, in
-   preparation for its i18n.
-
- * progress displays from many commands are a lot nicer to the eye.
-   Transfer commands show throughput data.
-
- * many commands that pay attention to per-directory .gitignore now do
-   so lazily, which makes the usual case go much faster.
-
- * Output processing for '--pretty=format:<user format>' has been
-   optimized.
-
- * Rename detection of diff family while detecting exact matches has
-   been greatly optimized.
-
- * Rename detection of diff family tries to make more natural looking
-   pairing.  Earlier, if multiple identical rename sources were
-   found in the preimage, the source used was picked pretty much at random.
-
- * Value "true" for color.diff and color.status configuration used to
-   mean "always" (even when the output is not going to a terminal).
-   This has been corrected to mean the same thing as "auto".
-
- * "git diff" Porcelain now respects diff.external configuration, which
-   is another way to specify GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF.
-
- * "git diff" can be told to use different prefixes other than
-   "a/" and "b/" e.g. "git diff --src-prefix=l/ --dst-prefix=k/".
-
- * "git diff" sometimes did not quote paths with funny
-   characters properly.
-
- * "git log" (and any revision traversal commands) misbehaved
-   when --diff-filter is given but was not asked to actually
-   produce diff.
-
- * HTTP proxy can be specified per remote repository using
-   remote.*.httpproxy configuration, or global http.proxy configuration
-   variable.
-
- * Various Perforce importer updates.
-
- * Example update and post-receive hooks have been improved.
-
- * Any command that wants to take a commit object name can now use
-   ":/string" syntax to name a commit.
-
- * "git reset" is now built-in and its output can be squelched with -q.
-
- * "git reset --hard" does not make any sense in a bare
-   repository, but did not error out; fixed.
-
- * "git send-email" can optionally talk over ssmtp and use SMTP-AUTH.
-
- * "git rebase" learned --whitespace option.
-
- * In "git rebase", when you decide not to replay a particular change
-   after the command stopped with a conflict, you can say "git rebase
-   --skip" without first running "git reset --hard", as the command now
-   runs it for you.
-
- * "git rebase --interactive" mode can now work on detached HEAD.
-
- * Other minor to serious bugs in "git rebase -i" have been fixed.
-
- * "git rebase" now detaches head during its operation, so after a
-   successful "git rebase" operation, the reflog entry branch@{1} for
-   the current branch points at the commit before the rebase was
-   started.
-
- * "git rebase -i" also triggers rerere to help your repeated merges.
-
- * "git merge" can call the "post-merge" hook.
-
- * "git pack-objects" can optionally run deltification with multiple
-   threads.
-
- * "git archive" can optionally substitute keywords in files marked with
-   export-subst attribute.
-
- * "git cherry-pick" made a misguided attempt to repeat the original
-   command line in the generated log message, when told to cherry-pick a
-   commit by naming a tag that points at it.  It does not anymore.
-
- * "git for-each-ref" learned %(xxxdate:<date-format>) syntax to show the
-   various date fields in different formats.
-
- * "git gc --auto" is a low-impact way to automatically run a variant of
-   "git repack" that does not lose unreferenced objects (read: safer
-   than the usual one) after the user accumulates too many loose
-   objects.
-
- * "git clean" has been rewritten in C.
-
- * You need to explicitly set clean.requireForce to "false" to allow
-   "git clean" without -f to do any damage (lack of the configuration
-   variable used to mean "do not require -f option to lose untracked
-   files", but we now use the safer default).
-
- * The kinds of whitespace errors "git diff" and "git apply" notice (and
-   fix) can be controlled via 'core.whitespace' configuration variable
-   and 'whitespace' attribute in .gitattributes file.
-
- * "git push" learned --dry-run option to show what would happen if a
-   push is run.
-
- * "git push" does not update a tracking ref on the local side when the
-   remote refused to update the corresponding ref.
-
- * "git push" learned --mirror option.  This is to push the local refs
-   one-to-one to the remote, and deletes refs from the remote that do
-   not exist anymore in the repository on the pushing side.
-
- * "git push" can remove a corrupt ref at the remote site with the usual
-   ":ref" refspec.
-
- * "git remote" knows --mirror mode.  This is to set up configuration to
-   push into a remote repository to store local branch heads to the same
-   branch on the remote side, and remove branch heads locally removed
-   from local repository at the same time.  Suitable for pushing into a
-   back-up repository.
-
- * "git remote" learned "rm" subcommand.
-
- * "git cvsserver" can be run via "git shell".  Also, "cvs" is
-   recognized as a synonym for "git cvsserver", so that CVS users
-   can be switched to git just by changing their login shell.
-
- * "git cvsserver" acts more like receive-pack by running post-receive
-   and post-update hooks.
-
- * "git am" and "git rebase" are far less verbose.
-
- * "git pull" learned to pass --[no-]ff option to underlying "git
-   merge".
-
- * "git pull --rebase" is a different way to integrate what you fetched
-   into your current branch.
-
- * "git fast-export" produces data-stream that can be fed to fast-import
-   to reproduce the history recorded in a git repository.
-
- * "git add -i" takes pathspecs to limit the set of files to work on.
-
- * "git add -p" is a short-hand to go directly to the selective patch
-   subcommand in the interactive command loop and to exit when done.
-
- * "git add -i" UI has been colorized.  The interactive prompt
-   and menu can be colored by setting color.interactive
-   configuration.  The diff output (including the hunk picker)
-   are colored with color.diff configuration.
-
- * "git commit --allow-empty" allows you to create a single-parent
-   commit that records the same tree as its parent, overriding the usual
-   safety valve.
-
- * "git commit --amend" can amend a merge that does not change the tree
-   from its first parent.
-
- * "git commit" used to unconditionally strip comment lines that
-   began with '#' and removed excess blank lines.  This behavior has
-   been made configurable.
-
- * "git commit" has been rewritten in C.
-
- * "git stash random-text" does not create a new stash anymore.  It was
-   a UI mistake.  Use "git stash save random-text", or "git stash"
-   (without extra args) for that.
-
- * "git stash clear extra-text" does not clear the whole stash
-   anymore.  It is tempting to expect "git stash clear stash@{2}"
-   to drop only a single named stash entry, and it is rude to
-   discard everything when that is asked (but not provided).
-
- * "git prune --expire <time>" can exempt young loose objects from
-   getting pruned.
-
- * "git branch --contains <commit>" can list branches that are
-   descendants of a given commit.
-
- * "git log" learned --early-output option to help interactive GUI
-   implementations.
-
- * "git bisect" learned "skip" action to mark untestable commits.
-
- * "git bisect visualize" learned a shorter synonym "git bisect view".
-
- * "git bisect visualize" runs "git log" in a non-windowed
-   environments.  It also can be told what command to run (e.g. "git
-   bisect visualize tig").
-
- * "git format-patch" learned "format.numbered" configuration variable
-   to automatically turn --numbered option on when more than one commits
-   are formatted.
-
- * "git ls-files" learned "--exclude-standard" to use the canned set of
-   exclude files.
-
- * "git tag -a -f existing" begins the editor session using the existing
-   annotation message.
-
- * "git tag -m one -m bar" (multiple -m options) behaves similarly to
-   "git commit"; the parameters to -m options are formatted as separate
-   paragraphs.
-
- * The format "git show" outputs an annotated tag has been updated to
-   include "Tagger: " and "Date: " lines from the tag itself.  Strictly
-   speaking this is a backward incompatible change, but this is a
-   reasonable usability fix and people's scripts shouldn't have been
-   relying on the exact output from "git show" Porcelain anyway.
-
- * "git cvsimport" did not notice errors from underlying "cvsps"
-   and produced a corrupt import silently.
-
- * "git cvsexportcommit" learned -w option to specify and switch to the
-   CVS working directory.
-
- * "git checkout" from a subdirectory learned to use "../path" to allow
-   checking out a path outside the current directory without cd'ing up.
-
- * "git checkout" from and to detached HEAD leaves a bit more
-   information in the reflog.
-
- * "git send-email --dry-run" shows full headers for easier diagnosis.
-
- * "git merge-ours" is now built-in.
-
- * "git svn" learned "info" and "show-externals" subcommands.
-
- * "git svn" run from a subdirectory failed to read settings from the
-   .git/config.
-
- * "git svn" learned --use-log-author option, which picks up more
-   descriptive name from From: and Signed-off-by: lines in the commit
-   message.
-
- * "git svn" wasted way too much disk to record revision mappings
-   between svn and git; a new representation that is much more compact
-   for this information has been introduced to correct this.
-
- * "git svn" left temporary index files it used without cleaning them
-   up; this was corrected.
-
- * "git status" from a subdirectory now shows relative paths, which
-   makes copy-and-pasting for git-checkout/git-add/git-rm easier.  The
-   traditional behavior to show the full path relative to the top of
-   the work tree can be had by setting status.relativepaths
-   configuration variable to false.
-
- * "git blame" kept text for each annotated revision in core needlessly;
-   this has been corrected.
-
- * "git shortlog" learned to default to HEAD when the standard input is
-   a terminal and the user did not give any revision parameter.
-
- * "git shortlog" learned "-e" option to show e-mail addresses as well as
-   authors' names.
-
- * "git help" learned "-w" option to show documentation in browsers.
-
- * In addition there are quite a few internal clean-ups. Notably:
-
-   - many fork/exec have been replaced with run-command API,
-     brought from the msysgit effort.
-
-   - introduction and more use of the option parser API.
-
-   - enhancement and more use of the strbuf API.
-
- * Makefile tweaks to support HP-UX is in.
-
-Fixes since v1.5.3
-------------------
-
-All of the fixes in v1.5.3 maintenance series are included in
-this release, unless otherwise noted.
-
-These fixes are only in v1.5.4 and not backported to v1.5.3 maintenance
-series.
-
- * The way "git diff --check" behaves is much more consistent with the way
-   "git apply --whitespace=warn" works.
-
- * "git svn" talking with the SVN over HTTP will correctly quote branch
-   and project names.
-
- * "git config" did not work correctly on platforms that define
-   REG_NOMATCH to an even number.
-
- * Recent versions of AsciiDoc 8 has a change to break our
-   documentation; a workaround has been implemented.
-
- * "git diff --color-words" colored context lines in a wrong color.
