[ANNOUNCE] bzr-git 0.5.0

[Jelmer Vernooij]

On behalf of the bzr-git developers, I'm happy to announce the release
of the next version of bzr-git, 0.5.0. The main reason for doing this
release now is that existing versions of bzr-git break with newer
versions of Python, including the one in Lucid.

There aren't any mindblowing changes since the last release, other than
a large number of bug fixes. The full list of changes is:

 BUG FIXES

  * Fix compatibility with newer versions of Python2.6, which change
    the behaviour of urlparse.urlsplit. (Jelmer Vernooij)
 
  * Avoid storing texts of symlinks, which causes checksum errors in 
    `bzr check`. (#512323, INADA Naoki, Jelmer Vernooij)

  * Support committing to a git branch from a bzr working tree.
    (#506174, Jelmer Vernooij)

  * Support executable symlinks. (#512871, INADA Naoki, Jelmer Vernooij)

  * When unpacking URLs, strip leftmost slash to match gits 
    behaviour. (#445156, Jelmer Vernooij)

  * Support merging tags to a local Git repository.
    (#4445230, Jelmer Vernooij)

  * InterFromGitBranch.pull() supports an optional limit argument 
    to limit how many revisions to import in one go. (Michael Hudson)

  * Cope with different encodings better, rather than just stripping
    out unknown characters. (#529460, Jelmer Vernooij)

  * Support ``run_hooks`` argument to
``InterGitRemoteLocalBranch.pull()``. (#524843, Jelmer Vernooij)

  * Properly ignore directories when creating bundles, deal with new
    files. (#456849, Jelmer Vernooij)

 PERFORMANCE

  * Don't import head revision twice when pulling from Git.
    (Jelmer Vernooij)

 FEATURES

  * Support (dumb) HTTP repositories. (#373688, Jelmer Vernooij)

  * Implement API for colocated branches. (#380871, Jelmer Vernooij)
