+The next version, Git 1.7.4, and future versions, will support both
+old and incorrect name and the new corrected name, but without this
+backport, users who want to use the new name "add.ignoreErrors" in
+their repositories cannot use older versions of Git.

+Git v1.7.3.3 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+In addition to the usual fixes, this release also includes support for
+the new "add.ignoreErrors" name given to the existing "add.ignore-errors"
+configuration variable.
+
+The next version, Git 1.7.4, and future versions, will support both
+old and incorrect name and the new corrected name, but without this
+backport, users who want to use the new name "add.ignoreErrors" in
+their repositories cannot use older versions of Git.
+
+Fixes since v1.7.3.2
+--------------------
+
+ * "git apply" segfaulted when a bogus input is fed to it.
+
+ * Running "git cherry-pick --ff" on a root commit segfaulted.
+
+ * "diff", "blame" and friends incorrectly applied textconv filters to
+   symlinks.
+
+ * Highlighting of whitespace breakage in "diff" output was showing
+   incorrect amount of whitespaces when blank-at-eol is set and the line
+   consisted only of whitespaces and a TAB.
+
+ * "diff" was overly inefficient when trying to find the line to use for
+   the function header (i.e. equivalent to --show-c-function of GNU diff).
+
+ * "git imap-send" depends on libcrypto but our build rule relied on the
+   linker to implicitly link it via libssl, which was wrong.
+
+ * "git merge-file" can be called from within a subdirectory now.
+
+ * "git repack -f" expanded and recompressed non-delta objects in the
+   existing pack, which was wasteful.  Use new "-F" option if you really
+   want to (e.g. when changing the pack.compression level).
+
+ * "git rev-list --format="...%x00..." incorrectly chopped its output
+   at NUL.
+
+ * "git send-email" did not correctly remove duplicate mail addresses from
+   the Cc: header that appear on the To: header.
+
+ * The completion script (in contrib/completion) ignored lightweight tags
+   in __git_ps1().
+
+ * "git-blame" mode (in contrib/emacs) didn't say (require 'format-spec)
+   even though it depends on it; it didn't work with Emacs 22 or older
+   unless Gnus is used.
+
+ * "git-p4" (in contrib/) did not correctly handle deleted files.
+
+Other minor fixes and documentation updates are also included.

+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.7.3.3
+--------------------
+
+ * Smart HTTP transport used to incorrectly retry redirected POST
+   request with GET request.
+
+ * "git apply" did not correctly handle patches that only change modes
+   if told to apply while stripping leading paths with -p option.
+
+ * "git apply" can deal with patches with timezone formatted with a
+   colon between the hours and minutes part (e.g. "-08:00" instead of
+   "-0800").
+
+ * "git cherry-pick" or "git revert" refused to work when a path that
+   would be modified by the operation was stat-dirty without a real
+   difference in the contents of the file.
+
+ * "git diff --check" reported an incorrect line number for added
+   blank lines at the end of file.
+
+ * Setting log.decorate configuration variable to "0" or "1" to mean
+   "false" or "true" did not work.
+
+ * "git tag -v" did not work with GPG signatures in rfc1991 mode.
+
+ * The post-receive-email sample hook was accidentally broken in 1.7.3.3
+   update.
+
+Other minor fixes and documentation updates are also included.

+   to make the new cover letter and all the patches replies to the

+ * "git repack -f" does not spend cycles to recompress objects in the
+   non-delta representation anymore (use -F if you really mean it when
+   e.g. you changed the compression level).
+
  * "git merge --log" used to limit the resulting merge log to 20
    entries; this is now customizable by giving e.g. "--log=47".
 
+ * "git merge" may work better when all files were moved out of a
+   directory in one branch while a new file is created in place of that
+   directory in the other branch.
+
+ * "git rebase --autosquash" can use SHA-1 object names to name which
+   commit to fix up (e.g. "fixup! e83c5163").
+
+ * The default "recursive" merge strategy learned --rename-threshold
+   option to influence the rename detection, similar to the -M option
+   of "git diff".  E.g. "git merge -Xrename-threshold=50% ..." to use
+   this.
+
+ * The "recursive" strategy also learned to ignore various whitespace
+   changes; the most notable is -Xignore-space-at-eol.
+
+ * "git send-email" learned "--to-cmd", similar to "--cc-cmd", to read
+   recipient list from a command output.

+ * gitweb can use custom 'highlight' command with its configuration file.
