+Git v1.7.3 Release Notes
+========================
+
+Updates since v1.7.2
+--------------------
+
+ * git-gui, now at version 0.13.0, got various updates and a new
+ maintainer, Pat Thoyts.
+
+ * Gitweb allows its configuration to change per each request; it used to
+ read the configuration once upon startup.
+
+ * When git finds a corrupt object, it now reports the file that contains
+ it.
+
+ * "git checkout -B <it>" is a shorter way to say "git branch -f <it>"
+ followed by "git checkout <it>".
+
+ * When "git checkout" or "git merge" refuse to proceed in order to
+ protect local modification to your working tree, they used to stop
+ after showing just one path that might be lost. They now show all,
+ in a format that is easier to read.
+
+ * "git clean" learned "-e" ("--exclude") option.
+
+ * Hunk headers produced for C# files by "git diff" and friends show more
+ relevant context than before.
+
+ * diff.ignoresubmodules configuration variable can be used to squelch the
+ differences in submodules reported when running commands (e.g. "diff",
+ "status", etc.) at the superproject level.
+
+ * http.useragent configuration can be used to lie who you are to your
+ restrictive firewall.
+
+ * "git rebase --strategy <s>" learned "-X" option to pass extra options
+ that are understood by the chosen merge strategy.
+
+ * "git rebase -i" learned "exec" that you can insert into the insn sheet
+ to run a command between its steps.
+
+ * "git rebase" between branches that have many binary changes that do
+ not conflict should be faster.
+
+ * "git rebase -i" peeks into rebase.autosquash configuration and acts as
+ if you gave --autosquash from the command line.
+
+
+Also contains various documentation updates.
+
+
+Fixes since v1.7.2
+------------------
+
+All of the fixes in v1.7.2.X maintenance series are included in this
+release, unless otherwise noted.
+
+ * "git merge -s recursive" (which is the default) did not handle cases
+ where a directory becomes a file (or vice versa) very well.
+
+ * "git fetch" and friends were accidentally broken for url with "+" in
+ its path, e.g. "git://git.gnome.org/gtk+".
+
+ * "git fetch $url" (i.e. without refspecs) was broken for quite some
+ time, if the current branch happen to be tracking some remote.
+
+ * "git ls-tree dir dirgarbage", when "dir" was a directory,
+ incorrectly recursed into "dir".
+
+ * "git note remove" created unnecessary extra commit when named object
+ did not have any note to begin with.
+
+ * "git rebase" did not work well if you had diff.noprefix configured.
+
+ * "git -c foo=bar subcmd" did not work well for subcmd that is not
+ implemented as a built-in command.

+Merging branches with differing checkin/checkout attributes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If you have added attributes to a file that cause the canonical
+repository format for that file to change, such as adding a
+clean/smudge filter or text/eol/ident attributes, merging anything
+where the attribute is not in place would normally cause merge
+conflicts.
+
+To prevent these unnecessary merge conflicts, git can be told to run a
+virtual check-out and check-in of all three stages of a file when
+resolving a three-way merge by setting the `merge.renormalize`
+configuration variable. This prevents changes caused by check-in
+conversion from causing spurious merge conflicts when a converted file
+is merged with an unconverted file.
+
+As long as a "smudge->clean" results in the same output as a "clean"
+even on files that are already smudged, this strategy will
+automatically resolve all filter-related conflicts. Filters that do
+not act in this way may cause additional merge conflicts that must be
+resolved manually.

+merge API
+=========
+
+The merge API helps a program to reconcile two competing sets of
+improvements to some files (e.g., unregistered changes from the work
+tree versus changes involved in switching to a new branch), reporting
+conflicts if found. The library called through this API is
+responsible for a few things.
+
+ * determining which trees to merge (recursive ancestor consolidation);
+
+ * lining up corresponding files in the trees to be merged (rename
+ detection, subtree shifting), reporting edge cases like add/add
+ and rename/rename conflicts to the user;
+
+ * performing a three-way merge of corresponding files, taking
+ path-specific merge drivers (specified in `.gitattributes`)
+ into account.
+
+Low-level (single file) merge
+-----------------------------
+
+`ll_merge`::
+
+ Perform a three-way single-file merge in core. This is
+ a thin wrapper around `xdl_merge` that takes the path and
+ any merge backend specified in `.gitattributes` or
+ `.git/info/attributes` into account. Returns 0 for a
+ clean merge.
+
+The caller:
+
+1. allocates an mmbuffer_t variable for the result;
+2. allocates and fills variables with the file's original content
+ and two modified versions (using `read_mmfile`, for example);
+3. calls ll_merge();
+4. reads the output from result_buf.ptr and result_buf.size;
+5. releases buffers when finished (free(ancestor.ptr); free(ours.ptr);
+ free(theirs.ptr); free(result_buf.ptr);).
+
+If the modifications do not merge cleanly, `ll_merge` will return a
+nonzero value and `result_buf` will generally include a description of
+the conflict bracketed by markers such as the traditional `<<<<<<<`
+and `>>>>>>>`.
+
+The `ancestor_label`, `our_label`, and `their_label` parameters are
+used to label the different sides of a conflict if the merge driver
+supports this.
+
+The `flag` parameter is a bitfield:
+
+ - The `LL_OPT_VIRTUAL_ANCESTOR` bit indicates whether this is an
+ internal merge to consolidate ancestors for a recursive merge.
+
+ - The `LL_OPT_FAVOR_MASK` bits allow local conflicts to be automatically
+ resolved in favor of one side or the other (as in 'git merge-file'
+ `--ours`/`--theirs`/`--union`).
+ They can be populated by `create_ll_flag`, whose argument can be
+ `XDL_MERGE_FAVOR_OURS`, `XDL_MERGE_FAVOR_THEIRS`, or
+ `XDL_MERGE_FAVOR_UNION`.
+
+Everything else
+---------------
+
+Talk about <merge-recursive.h> and merge_file():
+
+ - merge_trees() to merge with rename detection
+ - merge_recursive() for ancestor consolidation
+ - try_merge_command() for other strategies
+ - conflict format

+sigchain API
+============
+
+Code often wants to set a signal handler to clean up temporary files or
+other work-in-progress when we die unexpectedly. For multiple pieces of
+code to do this without conflicting, each piece of code must remember
+the old value of the handler and restore it either when:
+
+ 1. The work-in-progress is finished, and the handler is no longer
+ necessary. The handler should revert to the original behavior
+ (either another handler, SIG_DFL, or SIG_IGN).
+
+ 2. The signal is received. We should then do our cleanup, then chain
+ to the next handler (or die if it is SIG_DFL).
+
+Sigchain is a tiny library for keeping a stack of handlers. Your handler
+and installation code should look something like:
+
+------------------------------------------
+ void clean_foo_on_signal(int sig)
+ {
+ clean_foo();
+ sigchain_pop(sig);
+ raise(sig);
+ }
+
+ void other_func()
+ {
+ sigchain_push_common(clean_foo_on_signal);
+ mess_up_foo();
+ clean_foo();
+ }
+------------------------------------------
+
+Handlers are given the typdef of sigchain_fun. This is the same type
+that is given to signal() or sigaction(). It is perfectly reasonable to
+push SIG_DFL or SIG_IGN onto the stack.
+
+You can sigchain_push and sigchain_pop individual signals. For
+convenience, sigchain_push_common will push the handler onto the stack
+for many common signals.
