* The "cola" modules are now installed into the Python "site-packages"
directory by default. This allows distributions to package "git-cola" for
multiple versions of Python. See the PACKAGING NOTES section in the README
for details about suppressing the installation of the private
"share/git-cola/lib/cola" modules when building cola.

* Git Cola's rebase / sequence editor, formerly known as "git-xbase" and
installed as "share/git-cola/bin/git-xbase", has been renamed to
"git-cola-sequence-editor" and is now installed into the default
"bin/git-cola-sequence-editor" executable location to enable external
reuse of this general-purpose tool.
