Apologies for the delay. This release is chunky,
but you're probably used to chunky releases by now.

Full changelog follows:

Internal changes
	+ Added support for decomposed Unicode paths in Mac OS X
	+ Added support for junctions in win32
	+ Fixed issues with HTTP redirects in the network stack

	several APIs

git2/checkout.h
	+ implemented additional checkout options ('skip unmerged',
	'use ours' and 'use theirs')

git2/clone.h
	+ simplified the clone API
	+ added new `git_clone_into` to clone into an existing
	(empty) repository

	+ added APIs to access the raw (uncleaned) text of a commit
	message

git2/common.h
	+ added global options to set the default paths to load
	templates from

git2/config.h
	+ added multivar iterators
	+ added globbing iterator
	+ added `git_config_foreach_match` to perform operations
	on every single var in a config file

git2/diff.h
	+ restructured and simplified the diff API

git2/filter.h
	+ added external APIs to configure and apply custom filters
	to checked out blobs

git2/index.h
	+ `git_index_read` can now force a reload of the index file
	even if it hasn't changed on-disk

git2/indexer.h
	+ improved the streaming indexer APIs

git2/merge.h
	+ added support for merge!

git2/object.h
	+ added helper API to lookup a generic object by path

git2/pack.h
	+ added progress callbacks to the packbuilder

git2/patch.h
	+ added support for patch generation as part of the Diff
	API revamp

git2/pathspec.h
	+ added helper APIs to work with pathspecs and match files
	in the workdir or diffs

git2/push.h
	+ added progress callbacks to push

git2/reflog.h
	+ changed reflog APIs to work on reference names instead of
	the references themselves, so they become less racy

git2/remote.h
	+ added support for setting refspecs on remotes, either at
	creation or on existing ones
	+ simplified the remotes API

git2/revwalk.h
	+ add API to simplify parents during a walk

git2/signature.h
	+ add helper to create a signature with the default values for
	a repository (i.e. the set `user.name` and `user.email` values,
	and the current time)

git2/submodules.h
	+ improve the status detection for submodules

git2/sys/
	+ exported many new internal APIs, such as pluggabe transport
	APIs

-vmg, out

For additions and deletions, external consumers like subversion
can make use of the content offset to generate diffs in their
proprietary formats.

Allowing create remotes with custom fetch spec

Remote revamp (director's cut)

The callback-based method of listing remote references dates back to the
beginning of the network code's lifetime, when we didn't know any
better.

We need to keep the list around for update_tips() after disconnect() so
let's make use of this to simply give the user a pointer to the array so
they can write straightforward code instead of having to go through a
callback.

Removing arbitrary refspecs makes things more complex to reason
about. Instead, let the user set the fetch and push refspec list to
whatever they want it to be.
