+Git v1.7.5.1 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.7.5
+------------------
+
+ * When an object "$tree:$path" does not exist, if $path does exist in the
+ subtree of $tree that corresponds to the subdirectory the user is in,
+ git now suggests using "$tree:./$path" in addition to the advice to use
+ the full path from the root of the working tree.
+
+ * The "--date=relative" output format used to say "X years, 12 months"
+ when it should have said "X+1 years".
+
+ * The smart-HTTP transfer was broken in 1.7.5 when the client needs
+ to issue a small POST (which uses content-length) and then a large
+ POST (which uses chunked) back to back.
+
+ * "git clean" used to fail on an empty directory that is not readable,
+ even though rmdir(2) could remove such a directory. Now we attempt it
+ as the last resort.
+
+ * The "--dirstat" option of "diff" family of commands used to totally
+ ignore a change that only rearranged lines within a file. Such a
+ change now counts as at least a minimum but non zero change.
+
+ * The "--dirstat" option of "diff" family of commands used to use the
+ pathname in the original, instead of the pathname in the result,
+ when renames are involved.
+
+ * "git pack-object" did not take core.bigfilethreashold into account
+ (unlike fast-import); now it does.
+
+ * "git reflog" ignored options like "--format=.." on the command line.
+
+ * "git stash apply" used to refuse to work if there was any change in
+ the working tree, even when the change did not overlap with the change
+ the stash recorded.
+
+ * "git stash apply @{99999}" was not diagnosed as an error, even when you
+ did not have that many stash entries.
+
+ * An error message from "git send-email" to diagnose a broken SMTP
+ connection configuration lacked a space between "hello=<smtp-domain>"
+ and "port=<smtp-server-port>".
+
+And other minor fixes and documentation updates.

+Git v1.7.5.2 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+The release notes to 1.7.5.1 forgot to mention:
+
+ * "git stash -p --no-keep-index" and "git stash --no-keep-index -p" now
+ mean the same thing.
+
+ * "git upload-pack" (hence "git push" over git native protocol) had a
+ subtle race condition that could lead to a deadlock.
+
+Fixes since v1.7.5.1
+--------------------
+
+ * "git add -p" did not work correctly when a hunk is split and then
+ one of them was given to the editor.
+
+ * "git add -u" did not resolve a conflict where our history deleted and
+ their history modified the same file, and the working tree resolved to
+ keep a file.
+
+ * "git cvsimport" did not know that CVSNT stores its password file in a
+ location different from the traditional CVS.
+
+ * "git diff-files" did not show the mode information from the working
+ tree side of an unmerged path correctly.
+
+ * "git diff -M --cached" used to use unmerged path as a possible rename
+ source candidate, which made no sense.
+
+ * The option name parser in "git fast-import" used prefix matches for
+ some options where it shouldn't, and accepted non-existent options,
+ e.g. "--relative-marksmith" or "--forceps".
+
+ * "git format-patch" did not quote RFC822 special characters in the
+ email address (e.g From: Junio C. Hamano <jch@example.com>, not
+ From: "Junio C. Hamano" <jch@example.com>).
+
+ * "git format-patch" when run with "--quiet" option used to produce a
+ nonsense result that consists of alternating empty output.
+
+ * In "git merge", per-branch branch.<name>.mergeoptions configuration
+ variables did not override the fallback default merge.<option>
+ configuration variables such as merge.ff, merge.log, etc.
+
+ * "git merge-one-file" did not honor GIT_WORK_TREE settings when
+ handling a "both sides added, differently" conflict.
+
+ * "git mergetool" did not handle conflicted submoudules gracefully.
+
+ * "git-p4" (in contrib) used a wrong base image while merge a file that
+ was added on both branches differently.
+
+ * "git rebase -i -p" failed to preserve the history when there is a
+ redundant merge created with the --no-ff option.
+
+And other minor fixes and documentation updates.

+Git v1.7.5.3 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.7.5.2
+--------------------
+
+ * The bash completion scripts should correctly work using zsh's bash
+ completion emulation layer now.
+
+ * Setting $(prefix) in config.mak did not affect where etc/gitconfig
+ file is read from, even though passing it from the command line of
+ $(MAKE) did.
+
+ * The logic to handle "&" (expand to UNIX username) in GECOS field
+ miscounted the length of the name it formatted.
+
+ * "git cherry-pick -s resolve" failed to cherry-pick a root commit.
+
+ * "git diff --word-diff" misbehaved when diff.suppress-blank-empty was
+ in effect.
+
+ * "git log --stdin path" with an input that has additional pathspec
+ used to corrupt memory.
+
+ * "git send-pack" (hence "git push") over smalt-HTTP protocol could
+ deadlock when the client side pack-object died early.
+
+ * Compressed tarball gitweb generates used to be made with the timestamp
+ of the tarball generation; this was bad because snapshot from the same
+ tree should result in a same tarball.
+
+And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
