+Git v1.9.1 Release Notes
+========================
+
+Fixes since v1.9.0
+------------------
+
+ * "git clean -d pathspec" did not use the given pathspec correctly
+   and ended up cleaning too much.
+
+ * "git difftool" misbehaved when the repository is bound to the
+   working tree with the ".git file" mechanism, where a textual file
+   ".git" tells us where it is.
+
+ * "git push" did not pay attention to branch.*.pushremote if it is
+   defined earlier than remote.pushdefault; the order of these two
+   variables in the configuration file should not matter, but it did
+   by mistake.
+
+ * Codepaths that parse timestamps in commit objects have been
+   tightened.
+
+ * "git diff --external-diff" incorrectly fed the submodule directory
+   in the working tree to the external diff driver when it knew it is
+   the same as one of the versions being compared.
+
+ * "git reset" needs to refresh the index when working in a working
+   tree (it can also be used to match the index to the HEAD in an
+   otherwise bare repository), but it failed to set up the working
+   tree properly, causing GIT_WORK_TREE to be ignored.
+
+ * "git check-attr" when working on a repository with a working tree
+   did not work well when the working tree was specified via the
+   --work-tree (and obviously with --git-dir) option.
+
+ * "merge-recursive" was broken in 1.7.7 era and stopped working in
+   an empty (temporary) working tree, when there are renames
+   involved.  This has been corrected.
+
+ * "git rev-parse" was loose in rejecting command line arguments
+   that do not make sense, e.g. "--default" without the required
+   value for that option.
+
+ * include.path variable (or any variable that expects a path that
+   can use ~username expansion) in the configuration file is not a
+   boolean, but the code failed to check it.
+
+ * "git diff --quiet -- pathspec1 pathspec2" sometimes did not return
+   correct status value.
+
+ * Attempting to deepen a shallow repository by fetching over smart
+   HTTP transport failed in the protocol exchange, when no-done
+   extension was used.  The fetching side waited for the list of
+   shallow boundary commits after the sending end stopped talking to
+   it.
+
+ * Allow "git cmd path/", when the 'path' is where a submodule is
+   bound to the top-level working tree, to match 'path', despite the
+   extra and unnecessary trailing slash (such a slash is often
+   given by command line completion).
