+Git v1.7.4.2 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.7.4.1
+--------------------
+
+ * Many documentation updates to match "git cmd -h" output and the
+ git-cmd manual page.
+
+ * We used to keep one file descriptor open for each and every packfile
+ that we have a mmap window on it (read: "in use"), even when for very
+ tiny packfiles. We now close the file descriptor early when the entire
+ packfile fits inside one mmap window.
+
+ * "git bisect visualize" tried to run "gitk" in windowing
+ environments even when "gitk" is not installed, resulting in a
+ strange error message.
+
+ * "git clone /no/such/path" did not fail correctly.
+
+ * "git commit" did not correctly error out when the user asked to use a
+ non existent file as the commit message template.
+
+ * "git diff --stat -B" ran on binary files counted the changes in lines,
+ which was nonsensical.
+
+ * "git diff -M" opportunistically detected copies, which was not
+ necessarily a good thing, especially when it is internally run by
+ recursive merge.
+
+ * "git difftool" didn't tell (g)vimdiff that the files it is reading are
+ to be opened read-only.
+
+ * "git merge" didn't pay attention to prepare-commit-msg hook, even
+ though if a merge is conflicted and manually resolved, the subsequent
+ "git commit" would have triggered the hook, which was inconsistent.
+
+ * "git patch-id" (and commands like "format-patch --ignore-in-upstream"
+ that use it as their internal logic) handled changes to files that end
+ with incomplete lines incorrectly.
+
+ * The official value to tell "git push" to push the current branch back
+ to update the upstream branch it forked from is now called "upstream".
+ The old name "tracking" is and will be supported.
+
+ * "git submodule update" used to honor the --merge/--rebase option (or
+ corresponding configuration variables) even for a newly cloned
+ subproject, which made no sense (so/submodule-no-update-first-time).
+
+ * gitweb's "highlight" interface mishandled tabs.
+
+ * gitweb didn't understand timezones with GMT offset that is not
+ multiple of a whole hour.
+
+ * gitweb had a few forward-incompatible syntactic constructs and
+ also used incorrect variable when showing the file mode in a diff.
+
+And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
