+ comment introduction character "#".
+ This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.1.
+
* "git fast-export" produced wrong output with some parents missing from
commits, when the history is clock-skewed.
* "git fast-import" sometimes failed to read back objects it just wrote
out and aborted, because it failed to flush stale cached data.
+* "git-ls-tree" and "git-diff-tree" used a pathspec correctly when
+ deciding to descend into a subdirectory but they did not match the
+ individual paths correctly. This caused pathspecs "abc/d ab" to match
+ "abc/0" ("abc/d" made them decide to descend into the directory "abc/",
+ and then "ab" incorrectly matched "abc/0" when it shouldn't).
+ This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.3.
+
+* import-zips script (in contrib) did not compute the common directory
+ prefix correctly.
+ This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.2.
+
+* "git init" segfaulted when given an overlong template location via
+ the --template= option.
+ This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.4.
+
* "git repack" did not error out when necessary object was missing in the
repository.
+* git-repack (invoked from git-gc) did not work as nicely as it should in
+ a repository that borrows objects from neighbours via alternates
+ mechanism especially when some packs are marked with the ".keep" flag
+ to prevent them from being repacked.
+ This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.3.

+--------------------
+
+ * A few codepaths picked up the first few bytes from an sha1[] by
+ casting the (char *) pointer to (int *); GCC 4.4 did not like this,
+ and aborted compilation.
+
+ * Some unlink(2) failures went undiagnosed.
+
+ * The "recursive" merge strategy misbehaved when faced rename/delete
+ conflicts while coming up with an intermediate merge base.
+
+ * The low-level merge algorithm did not handle a degenerate case of
+ merging a file with itself using itself as the common ancestor
+ gracefully. It should produce the file itself, but instead
+ produced an empty result.
+
+ * GIT_TRACE mechanism segfaulted when tracing a shell-quoted aliases.
+
+ * OpenBSD also uses st_ctimspec in "struct stat", instead of "st_ctim".
+
+ * With NO_CROSS_DIRECTORY_HARDLINKS, "make install" can be told not to
+ create hardlinks between $(gitexecdir)/git-$builtin_commands and
+ $(bindir)/git.
+
+ * command completion code in bash did not reliably detect that we are
+ in a bare repository.
+
+ * "git add ." in an empty directory complained that pathspec "." did not
+ match anything, which may be technically correct, but not useful. We
+ silently make it a no-op now.
+
+ * "git add -p" (and "patch" action in "git add -i") was broken when
+ the first hunk that adds a line at the top was split into two and
+ both halves are marked to be used.
+
+ * "git blame path" misbehaved at the commit where path became file
+ from a directory with some files in it.
+
+ * "git for-each-ref" had a segfaulting bug when dealing with a tag object
+ created by an ancient git.
+
+ * "git format-patch -k" still added patch numbers if format.numbered
+ configuration was set.
+
+ * "git grep --color ''" did not terminate. The command also had
+ subtle bugs with its -w option.
+
+ * http-push had a small use-after-free bug.
+
+ * "git push" was converting OFS_DELTA pack representation into less
+ efficient REF_DELTA representation unconditionally upon transfer,
+ making the transferred data unnecessarily larger.
+
+ * "git remote show origin" segfaulted when origin was still empty.
+
+Many other general usability updates around help text, diagnostic messages
+and documentation are included as well.
