+* "git diff --no-index --" did not trigger no-index (aka "use git-diff as
+ a replacement of diff on untracked files") behaviour.
+
+* "git format-patch -1 HEAD" on a root commit failed to produce patch
+ text.
+
+* "git fsck branch" did not work as advertised; instead it behaved the same
+ way as "git fsck".
+
* "git log --pretty=format:%s" did not handle a multi-line subject the
same way as built-in log listers (i.e. shortlog, --pretty=oneline, etc.)
* "git daemon", and "git merge-file" are more careful when freopen fails
and barf, instead of going on and writing to unopened filehandle.
-Other documentation fixes.
+* "git http-push" did not like some RFC 4918 compliant DAV server
+ responses.
+
+* "git merge -s recursive" mistakenly overwritten an untracked file in the

+
+* "git merge -s recursive" didn't leave the index unmerged for entries with
+ rename/delete conflictd.
+
+* "git merge -s recursive" clobbered untracked files in the work tree.
+
+* "git mv -k" with more than one errorneous paths misbehaved.
+
+* "git read-tree -m -u" hence branch switching incorrectly lost a

+--------------------
+
+(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.
