+Git v1.7.11.5 Release Notes
+===========================
+
+Fixes since v1.7.11.4
+---------------------
+
+ * The Makefile rule to create assembly output (primarily for
+   debugging purposes) did not create it next to the source.
+
+ * The code to avoid mistaken attempt to add the object directory
+   itself as its own alternate could read beyond end of a string while
+   comparison.
+
+ * On some architectures, "block-sha1" did not compile correctly
+   when compilers inferred alignment guarantees from our source we
+   did not intend to make.
+
+ * When talking to a remote running ssh on IPv6 enabled host, whose
+   address is spelled as "[HOST]:PORT", we did not parse the address
+   correctly and failed to connect.
+
+ * git-blame.el (in compat/) have been updated to use Elisp more
+   correctly.
+
+ * "git checkout <branchname>" to come back from a detached HEAD state
+   incorrectly computed reachability of the detached HEAD, resulting
+   in unnecessary warnings.
+
+ * "git mergetool" did not support --tool-help option to give the list
+   of supported backends, like "git difftool" does.
+
+ * "git grep" stopped spawning an external "grep" long time ago, but a
+   duplicated test to check internal and external "grep" was left
+   behind.
+
+Also contains minor typofixes and documentation updates.

+Two scripts are included.  The Python one (ciabot.py) is faster and
+more capable; the shell one (ciabot.sh) is a fallback in case Python
+gives your git hosting site indigestion. (I know of no such sites.)
+
+It is no longer necessary to modify the script in order to put it
+in place; in fact, this is now discouraged. It is entirely
+configurable with the following git config variables:
+
+ciabot.project = name of the project
+ciabot.repo = name of the project repo for gitweb/cgit purposes
+ciabot.xmlrpc  = if true, ship notifications via XML-RPC
+ciabot.revformat = format in which the revision is shown
+
+The revformat variable may have the following values
+raw -> full hex ID of commit
+short -> first 12 chars of hex ID
+describe -> describe relative to last tag, falling back to short
+
+ciabot.project defaults to the directory name of the repository toplevel.
+ciabot.repo defaults to ciabot.project lowercased.
+ciabot.xmlrpc defaults to True
+ciabot.revformat defaults to 'describe'.
+
+This means that in the normal case you need not do any configuration at all,
+however setting ciabot.project will allow the hook to run slightly faster.
+
+Once you've set these variables, try your script with -n to see the
+notification message dumped to stdout and verify that it looks sane.
+
+To live-test these scripts, your project needs to have been registered with
+the CIA site.  Here are the steps:
+
+1. Open an IRC window on irc://freenode/commits or your registered
+   project IRC channel.
+
+2. Run ciabot.py and/or ciabot.sh from any directory under git
+   control.
+
+You should see a notification on the channel for your most recent commit.
+
+After verifying correct function, install one of these scripts either
+in a post-commit hook or in an update hook.
+
+In post-commit, run it without arguments. It will query for
+current HEAD and the latest commit ID to get the information it
+needs.
+
+In update, call it with a refname followed by a list of commits:
+You want to reverse the order git rev-list emits because it lists
+from most recent to oldest.
