2.1.0-rc.1

This release includes a few new features, the main one being the support for fetching the initial commits for the gitPublish.branch from your local repo (if you use org.ajoberstar.grgit or manually configure gitPublish.referenceRepoUri) before fetching from the remote. This should reduce how many commits need to be pulled over the network.
