+Git v1.7.0.2 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.7.0.1
+--------------------
+
+ * GIT_PAGER was not honored consistently by some scripted Porcelains, most
+   notably "git am".
+
+ * updating working tree files after telling git to add them to the
+   index and while it is still working created garbage object files in
+   the repository without diagnosing it as an error.
+
+ * "git bisect -- pathspec..." did not diagnose an error condition properly when
+   the simplification with given pathspec made the history empty.
+
+ * "git rev-list --cherry-pick A...B" now has an obvious optimization when the
+   histories haven't diverged (i.e. when one end is an ancestor of the other).
+
+ * "git diff --quiet -w" did not work as expected.
+
+ * "git fast-import" didn't work with a large input, as it lacked support
+   for producing the pack index in v2 format.
+
+ * "git imap-send" didn't use CRLF line endings over the imap protocol
+   when storing its payload to the draft box, violating RFC 3501.
+
+ * "git log --format='%w(x,y,z)%b'" and friends that rewrap message
+   has been optimized for utf-8 payload.
+
+ * Error messages generated on the receiving end did not come back to "git
+   push".
+
+ * "git status" in 1.7.0 lacked the optimization we used to have in 1.6.X series
+   to speed up scanning of large working tree.
+
+ * "gitweb" did not diagnose parsing errors properly while reading tis configuration
+   file.
+
+And other minor fixes and documentation updates.

+Git v1.7.0.3 Release Notes (draft)
+==================================
+
+Fixes since v1.7.0.2
+--------------------
+
+ * Object files are created in a more ACL friendly way in repositories
+   where group permission is ACL controlled.
+
+ * "git add -i" didn't handle a deleted path very well.
+
+ * "git blame" padded line numbers with one extra SP when the total number
+   of lines was one less than multiple of ten due to an off-by-one error.
+
+ * "git fetch --all/--multi" used to discard information for remotes that
+   are fetched earlier.
+
+ * "git log --author=me --grep=it" tried to find commits that have "it"
+   or are written by "me", instead of the ones that have "it" _and_ are
+   written by "me".
+
+ * "git log -g branch" misbehaved when there was no entries in the reflog
+   for the named branch.
+
+ * "git mailinfo" (hence "git am") incorrectly removed initial indent from
+   paragraphs.
+
+ * "git prune" and "git reflog" (hence "git gc" as well) didn't honor
+   an instruction never to expire by setting gc.reflogexpire to never.
+
+ * "git push" misbehaved when branch.<name>.merge was configured without
+   matching branch.<name>.remote.
+
+And other minor fixes and documentation updates.

+Git v1.7.1 Release Notes (draft)
+================================
 
 Updates since v1.7.0
 --------------------
 
+ * "git cvsimport" learned -R option to leave revision mapping between
+   CVS revisions and resulting git commits.
+
+ * "git for-each-ref" learned %(symref), %(symref:short) and %(flag)
+   tokens.
+
  * "git grep" learned "--no-index" option, to search inside contents that
    are not managed by git.
 
+ * "git grep" learned --color=auto/always/never.
+
+ * "git hash-object --stdin-paths" can take "--no-filters" option now.
+
+ * "git request-pull" identifies the commit the request is relative to in
+   a more readable way.
+
+ * "git svn" should work better when interacting with repositories
+   with CRLF line endings.
+
+ * "git imap-send" learned to support CRAM-MD5 authentication.

 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
-This command allows you to add notes to commit messages, without
-changing the commit.  To discern these notes from the message stored
-in the commit object, the notes are indented like the message, after
-an unindented line saying "Notes:".
+This command allows you to add/remove notes to/from objects, without
+changing the objects themselves.
+
+A typical use of notes is to extend a commit message without having
+to change the commit itself. Such commit notes can be shown by `git log`
+along with the original commit message. To discern these notes from the
+message stored in the commit object, the notes are indented like the
+message, after an unindented line saying "Notes:".
 
-To disable commit notes, you have to set the config variable
-core.notesRef to the empty string.  Alternatively, you can set it
-to a different ref, something like "refs/notes/bugzilla".  This setting
-can be overridden by the environment variable "GIT_NOTES_REF".
+To disable notes, you have to set the config variable core.notesRef to

 SUBCOMMANDS
 -----------
 
+list::
+	List the notes object for a given object. If no object is
+	given, show a list of all note objects and the objects they
+	annotate (in the format "<note object> <annotated object>").
+	This is the default subcommand if no subcommand is given.
+
+add::
+	Add notes for a given object (defaults to HEAD). Abort if the
+	object already has notes (use `-f` to overwrite an
+	existing note).
+
+copy::
+	Copy the notes for the first object onto the second object.
+	Abort if the second object already has notes, or if the first
+	object has none (use -f to overwrite existing notes to the
+	second object). This subcommand is equivalent to:
+	`git notes add [-f] -C $(git notes list <from-object>) <to-object>`
+
+append::
+	Append to the notes of an existing object (defaults to HEAD).
+	Creates a new notes object if needed.
+
 edit::
-	Edit the notes for a given commit (defaults to HEAD).
+	Edit the notes for a given object (defaults to HEAD).
 
 show::
-	Show the notes for a given commit (defaults to HEAD).
+	Show the notes for a given object (defaults to HEAD).
+
+remove::
+	Remove the notes for a given object (defaults to HEAD).
+	This is equivalent to specifying an empty note message to
+	the `edit` subcommand.
 
+prune::
+	Remove all notes for non-existing/unreachable objects.
 
 OPTIONS
 -------
+-f::
+--force::
+	When adding notes to an object that already has notes,
+	overwrite the existing notes (instead of aborting).
+
 -m <msg>::
+--message=<msg>::
 	Use the given note message (instead of prompting).
-	If multiple `-m` (or `-F`) options are given, their
-	values are concatenated as separate paragraphs.
+	If multiple `-m` options are given, their values
+	are concatenated as separate paragraphs.
 
 -F <file>::
+--file=<file>::
 	Take the note message from the given file.  Use '-' to
 	read the note message from the standard input.
-	If multiple `-F` (or `-m`) options are given, their
-	values are concatenated as separate paragraphs.
 
+-C <object>::
+--reuse-message=<object>::
+	Reuse the note message from the given note object.
+
+-c <object>::
+--reedit-message=<object>::
+	Like '-C', but with '-c' the editor is invoked, so that
+	the user can further edit the note message.

+Webserver configuration with multiple projects' root
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+If you want to use gitweb with several project roots you can edit your apache
+virtual host and gitweb.conf configuration files like this :
+
+virtual host configuration :
+
+<VirtualHost *:80>
+    ServerName			git.example.org
+    DocumentRoot		/pub/git
+    SetEnv				GITWEB_CONFIG	/etc/gitweb.conf

+    # http://git.example.org/~<user>/
+    RewriteRule ^/\~([^\/]+)(/|/gitweb.cgi)?$	/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi [QSA,E=GITWEB_PROJECTROOT:/home/$1/public_git/,L,PT]

+    #RewriteRule ^/\+([^\/]+)(/|/gitweb.cgi)?$	/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi [QSA,E=GITWEB_PROJECTROOT:/home/$1/public_git/,L,PT]

+    #RewriteRule ^/user/([^\/]+)/(gitweb.cgi)?$	/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi [QSA,E=GITWEB_PROJECTROOT:/home/$1/public_git/,L,PT]

+    RewriteRule ^/(.*\.git/(?!/?(HEAD|info|objects|refs)).*)?$ /cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi%{REQUEST_URI}  [L,PT]
+</VirtualHost>
+
+gitweb.conf configuration :
+
+$projectroot = $ENV{'GITWEB_PROJECTROOT'} || "/pub/git";
+
+These configurations enable two things. First, each unix user (<user>) of the
+server will be able to browse through gitweb git repositories found in
+~/public_git/ with the following url : http://git.example.org/~<user>/
+
+If you do not want this feature on your server just remove the second rewrite rule.
+
+If you already use mod_userdir in your virtual host or you don't want to use
+the '~' as first character just comment or remove the second rewrite rule and
+uncomment one of the following according to what you want.
+
+Second, repositories found in /pub/scm/ and /var/git/ will be accesible
+through http://git.example.org/scm/ and http://git.example.org/var/.
+You can add as many project roots as you want by adding rewrite rules like the
+third and the fourth.
