GIT 0.99.7b

Contains the following post-0.99.7a fixes:

- Commit walker performance fix, mostly during walking commits
in a downloaded packfile, thanks to Sergey Vlasov.

- Squelch unnecessarily alarming error message from fetch and
clone over rsync transport, when remote repository does not
borrow anything from other repositories.

I've seen enough people got annoyed/worried/alarmed after
seeing this one on both git and linux-kernel list.

- Documentation was not rebuilt before installation, noticed by
Randal L Schwartz.

- Fetching of objects over http transport got a bit safer.

Tarballs, RPMs and Debs are available at

http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

Or, if you use git already:

{http,rsync}://kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/

I did it that way and now I see this:

$git --version
git version 0.99.7

This is a bit confusing. Did I upgrade or downgrade?
Maybe the version string should contain the same kind
of hexadecimal string that Linus is appending to his
kernel version?

Or just call it 0.99.7.1 and .2 or 0.99.8 and .9.
