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. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

-Git v1.7.1.1 Release Notes
-==========================
-
-Fixes since v1.7.1
-------------------
-
- * Authentication over http transport can now be made lazily, in that the
- request can first go to a URL without username, get a 401 response and
- then the client will ask for the username to use.
-
- * We used to mistakenly think "../work" is a subdirectory of the current
- directory when we are in "../work-xyz".
-
- * The attribute mechanism now allows an entry that uses an attribute
- macro that set/unset one attribute, immediately followed by an
- overriding setting; this makes attribute macros much easier to use.
-
- * We didn't recognize timezone "Z" as a synonym for "UTC" (75b37e70).
-
- * In 1.7.0, read-tree and user commands that use the mechanism such as
- checkout and merge were fixed to handle switching between branches one
- of which has a file while the other has a directory at the same path
- correctly even when there are some "confusing" pathnames in them. But
- the algorithm used for this fix was suboptimal and had a terrible
- performance degradation especially in larger trees.
-
- * "git am -3" did not show diagnosis when the patch in the message was corrupt.
-
- * After "git apply --whitespace=fix" removed trailing blank lines in an
- patch in a patch series, it failed to apply later patches that depend
- on the presence of such blank lines.
-
- * "git bundle --stdin" segfaulted.
-
- * "git checkout" and "git rebase" overwrote paths that are marked "assume
- unchanged".
-
- * "git commit --amend" on a commit with an invalid author-name line that
- lacks the display name didn't work.
-
- * "git describe" did not tie-break tags that point at the same commit
- correctly; newer ones are preferred by paying attention to the
- tagger date now.
-
- * "git diff" used to tell underlying xdiff machinery to work very hard to
- minimize the output, but this often was spending too many extra cycles
- for very little gain.
-
- * "git diff --color" did not paint extended diff headers per line
- (i.e. the coloring escape sequence didn't end at the end of line),
- which confused "less -R".
-
- * "git fetch" over HTTP verifies the downloaded packfiles more robustly.
-
- * The memory usage by "git index-pack" (run during "git fetch" and "git
- push") got leaner.
-
- * "GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare bar.git" created foo.git instead of bar.git.
-
- * "git log --abbrev=$num --format='%h' ignored --abbrev=$num.
-
- * "git ls-files ../out/side/cwd" refused to work.
-
- * "git merge --log" used to replace the custom message given by "-m" with
- the shortlog, instead of appending to it.
-
- * "git notes copy" without any other argument segfaulted.
-
- * "git pull" accepted "--dry-run", gave it to underlying "git fetch" but
- ignored the option itself, resulting in a bogus attempt to merge
- unrelated commit.
-
- * "git rebase" did not faithfully reproduce a malformed author ident, that
- is often seen in a repository converted from foreign SCMs.
-
- * "git reset --hard" started from a wrong directory and a working tree in
- a nonstandard location is in use got confused.
-
- * "git send-email" lacked a way to specify the domainname used in the
- EHLO/HELO exchange, causing rejected connection from picky servers.
- It learned --smtp-domain option to solve this issue.
-
- * "git send-email" did not declare a content-transfer-encoding and
- content-type even when its payload needs to be sent in 8-bit.
-
- * "git show -C -C" and other corner cases lost diff metainfo output
- in 1.7.0.
-
- * "git stash" incorrectly lost paths in the working tree that were
- previously removed from the index.
-
- * "git status" stopped refreshing the index by mistake in 1.7.1.
-
- * "git status" showed excess "hints" even when advice.statusHints is set to false.
-
-And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
