+GIT v1.6.2 Release Notes
+========================
+
+Updates since v1.6.1
+--------------------
+
+(subsystems)
+
+(portability)
+
+(performance)
+
+* pack-objects autodetects the number of CPUs available and uses threaded
+ version.
+
+(usability, bells and whistles)
+
+* "git-add -p" learned 'g'oto action to jump directly to a hunk.
+
+* git-cherry defaults to HEAD when the <upstream> argument is not given.
+
+* git-cvsserver can be told not to add extra "via git-CVS emulator" to the
+ commit log message it serves via gitcvs.commitmsgannotation configuration.
+
+* git-diff learned a new option --inter-hunk-context to coalesce close
+ hunks together and show context between them.
+
+* git-filter-branch learned --prune-empty option that discards commits
+ that do not change the contents.
+
+* git-ls-tree learned --full-tree option that shows the path in full
+ regardless of where in the work tree hierarchy the command was started.
+
+* git-mergetool learned -y(--no-prompt) option to disable prompting.
+
+* "git-reset --merge" is a new mode that works similar to the way
+ "git checkout" switches branches, taking the local changes while
+ switching to another commit.
+
+(internal)
+
+
+Fixes since v1.6.1
+------------------
+
+All of the fixes in v1.6.1.X maintenance series are included in this
+release, unless otherwise noted.
+
+* "git-add sub/file" when sub is a submodule incorrectly added the path to
+ the superproject.
+
+* git-bundle did not exclude annotated tags even when a range given from the
+ command line wanted to.
+
+* git-grep did not work correctly for index entries with assume-unchanged bit.
+
+* branch switching and merges had a silly bug that did not validate
+ the correct directory when making sure an existing subdirectory is
+ clean.
