+Git v1.7.1 Release Notes (draft)
+================================
+
+Updates since v1.7.0
+--------------------
+
+ * Eric Raymond is the maintainer of updated CIAbot scripts, in contrib/.
+
+ * Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively ask
+ for a password can be told to use an external program given via
+ GIT_ASKPASS.
+
+ * Conflict markers that lead the common ancestor in diff3-style output
+ now have a label, which hopefully would help third-party tools that
+ expect one.
+
+ * Comes with an updated bash-completion script.
+
+ * "git am" learned "--keep-cr" option to handle inputs that are
+ a mixture of changes to files with and without CRLF line endings.
+
+ * "git cvsimport" learned -R option to leave revision mapping between
+ CVS revisions and resulting git commits.
+
+ * "git diff --submodule" notices and describes dirty submodules.
+
+ * "git for-each-ref" learned %(symref), %(symref:short) and %(flag)
+ tokens.
+
+ * "git hash-object --stdin-paths" can take "--no-filters" option now.
+
+ * "git init" can be told to look at init.templatedir configuration
+ variable (obviously that has to come from either /etc/gitconfig or
+ $HOME/.gitconfig).
+
+ * "git grep" learned "--no-index" option, to search inside contents that
+ are not managed by git.
+
+ * "git grep" learned --color=auto/always/never.
+
+ * "git grep" learned to paint filename and line-number in colors.
+
+ * "git log -p --first-parent -m" shows one-parent diff for merge
+ commits, instead of showing combined diff.
+
+ * "git merge-file" learned to use custom conflict marker size and also
+ to use the "union merge" behaviour.
+
+ * "git notes" command has been rewritten in C and learned many commands
+ and features to help you carry notes forward across rebases and amends.
+
+ * "git request-pull" identifies the commit the request is relative to in
+ a more readable way.
+
+ * "git reset" learned "--keep" option that lets you discard commits
+ near the tip while preserving your local changes in a way similar
+ to how "git checkout branch" does.
+
+ * "git status" notices and describes dirty submodules.
+
+ * "git svn" should work better when interacting with repositories
+ with CRLF line endings.
+
+ * "git imap-send" learned to support CRAM-MD5 authentication.
+
+ * "gitweb" installation procedure can use "minified" js/css files
+ better.
+
+Fixes since v1.7.0
+------------------
+
+All of the fixes in v1.7.0.X maintenance series are included in this
+release, unless otherwise noted.
+
+ * "git add frotz/nitfol" did not complain when the entire frotz/ directory
+ was ignored.
+
+ * "git rev-list --pretty=oneline" didn't terminate a record with LF for
+ commits without any message.
+
+ * "git rev-list --abbrev-commit" defaulted to 40-byte abbreviations, unlike
+ newer tools in the git toolset.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
-This command allows you to add notes to commit messages, without
-changing the commit. To discern these notes from the message stored
-in the commit object, the notes are indented like the message, after
-an unindented line saying "Notes:".
+This command allows you to add/remove notes to/from objects, without
+changing the objects themselves.
+
+A typical use of notes is to extend a commit message without having
+to change the commit itself. Such commit notes can be shown by `git log`
+along with the original commit message. To discern these notes from the
+message stored in the commit object, the notes are indented like the
+message, after an unindented line saying "Notes (<refname>):" (or
+"Notes:" for the default setting).
-To disable commit notes, you have to set the config variable
-core.notesRef to the empty string. Alternatively, you can set it
-to a different ref, something like "refs/notes/bugzilla". This setting
-can be overridden by the environment variable "GIT_NOTES_REF".
+This command always manipulates the notes specified in "core.notesRef"
+(see linkgit:git-config[1]), which can be overridden by GIT_NOTES_REF.
+To change which notes are shown by 'git-log', see the
+"notes.displayRef" configuration.
+
+See the description of "notes.rewrite.<command>" in
+linkgit:git-config[1] for a way of carrying your notes across commands
+that rewrite commits.
SUBCOMMANDS
-----------
+list::
+ List the notes object for a given object. If no object is
+ given, show a list of all note objects and the objects they
+ annotate (in the format "<note object> <annotated object>").
+ This is the default subcommand if no subcommand is given.
+
+add::
+ Add notes for a given object (defaults to HEAD). Abort if the
+ object already has notes (use `-f` to overwrite an
+ existing note).
+
+copy::
+ Copy the notes for the first object onto the second object.
+ Abort if the second object already has notes, or if the first
+ object has none (use -f to overwrite existing notes to the
+ second object). This subcommand is equivalent to:
+ `git notes add [-f] -C $(git notes list <from-object>) <to-object>`
++
+In `\--stdin` mode, take lines in the format
++
+----------
+<from-object> SP <to-object> [ SP <rest> ] LF
+----------
++
+on standard input, and copy the notes from each <from-object> to its
+corresponding <to-object>. (The optional `<rest>` is ignored so that
+the command can read the input given to the `post-rewrite` hook.)
+
+append::
+ Append to the notes of an existing object (defaults to HEAD).
+ Creates a new notes object if needed.
+
edit::
- Edit the notes for a given commit (defaults to HEAD).
+ Edit the notes for a given object (defaults to HEAD).
show::
- Show the notes for a given commit (defaults to HEAD).
+ Show the notes for a given object (defaults to HEAD).
+
+remove::
+ Remove the notes for a given object (defaults to HEAD).
+ This is equivalent to specifying an empty note message to
+ the `edit` subcommand.
+prune::
+ Remove all notes for non-existing/unreachable objects.
OPTIONS
-------
+-f::
+--force::
+ When adding notes to an object that already has notes,
+ overwrite the existing notes (instead of aborting).
+
-m <msg>::
+--message=<msg>::
Use the given note message (instead of prompting).
- If multiple `-m` (or `-F`) options are given, their
- values are concatenated as separate paragraphs.
+ If multiple `-m` options are given, their values
+ are concatenated as separate paragraphs.
-F <file>::
+--file=<file>::
Take the note message from the given file. Use '-' to
read the note message from the standard input.
- If multiple `-F` (or `-m`) options are given, their
- values are concatenated as separate paragraphs.
+
+-C <object>::
+--reuse-message=<object>::
+ Reuse the note message from the given note object.
+
+-c <object>::
+--reedit-message=<object>::
+ Like '-C', but with '-c' the editor is invoked, so that
+ the user can further edit the note message.
+
+--ref <ref>::
+ Manipulate the notes tree in <ref>. This overrides both
+ GIT_NOTES_REF and the "core.notesRef" configuration. The ref
+ is taken to be in `refs/notes/` if it is not qualified.
+
+
+NOTES
+-----
+
+Every notes change creates a new commit at the specified notes ref.
+You can therefore inspect the history of the notes by invoking, e.g.,
+`git log -p notes/commits`.
+
+Currently the commit message only records which operation triggered
+the update, and the commit authorship is determined according to the
+usual rules (see linkgit:git-commit[1]). These details may change in
+the future.

ready yet, and I really need to undo _all_ of the merge"). So then you
really should revert the merge, but when you want to re-do the merge, you
now need to do it by reverting the revert.
+
+ADDENDUM
+
+Sometimes you have to rewrite one of a topic branch's commits *and* you can't
+change the topic's branching-off point. Consider the following situation:
+
+ P---o---o---M---x---x---W---x
+ \ /
+ A---B---C
+
+where commit W reverted commit M because it turned out that commit B was wrong
+and needs to be rewritten, but you need the rewritten topic to still branch
+from commit P (perhaps P is a branching-off point for yet another branch, and
+you want be able to merge the topic into both branches).
+
+The natural thing to do in this case is to checkout the A-B-C branch and use
+"rebase -i P" to change commit B. However this does not rewrite commit A,
+because "rebase -i" by default fast-forwards over any initial commits selected
+with the "pick" command. So you end up with this:
+
+ P---o---o---M---x---x---W---x
+ \ /
+ A---B---C <-- old branch
+ \
+ B'---C' <-- naively rewritten branch
+
+To merge A-B'-C' into the mainline branch you would still have to first revert
+commit W in order to pick up the changes in A, but then it's likely that the
+changes in B' will conflict with the original B changes re-introduced by the
+reversion of W.
+
+However, you can avoid these problems if you recreate the entire branch,
+including commit A:
+
+ A'---B'---C' <-- completely rewritten branch
+ /
+ P---o---o---M---x---x---W---x
+ \ /
+ A---B---C
+
+You can merge A'-B'-C' into the mainline branch without worrying about first
+reverting W. Mainline's history would look like this:

+But if you don't actually need to change commit A, then you need some way to
+recreate it as a new commit with the same changes in it. The rebase commmand's
+--no-ff option provides a way to do this:
+
+ $ git rebase [-i] --no-ff P
+
+The --no-ff option creates a new branch A'-B'-C' with all-new commits (all the
+SHA IDs will be different) even if in the interactive case you only actually
+modify commit B. You can then merge this new branch directly into the mainline
+branch and be sure you'll get all of the branch's changes.
+
+You can also use --no-ff in cases where you just add extra commits to the topic
+to fix it up. Let's revisit the situation discussed at the start of this howto:
+
+ P---o---o---M---x---x---W---x
+ \ /
+ A---B---C----------------D---E <-- fixed-up topic branch
+
+At this point, you can use --no-ff to recreate the topic branch:
+
+ $ git checkout E
+ $ git rebase --no-ff P
+
+yielding
+
+ A'---B'---C'------------D'---E' <-- recreated topic branch
+ /
+ P---o---o---M---x---x---W---x
+ \ /
+ A---B---C----------------D---E
+
+You can merge the recreated branch into the mainline without reverting commit W,
+and mainline's history will look like this:
+
+ A'---B'---C'------------D'---E'
+ / \
+ P---o---o---M---x---x---W---x---M2
+ \ /
+ A---B---C
