  * The whitespace rules used in "git apply --whitespace" and "git diff"
    gained a new member in the family (tab-in-indent) to help projects with
    policy to indent only with spaces.

+ * When working from a subdirectory, by default, git does not look for its
+   metadirectory ".git" across filesystems, primarily to help people who
+   have invocations of git in their custom PS1 prompts, as being outside
+   of a git repository would look for ".git" all the way up to the root
+   directory, and NFS mounts are often slow.  DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM
+   environment variable can be used to tell git not to stop at a
+   filesystem boundary.
+
+ * "git" wrapper learned "-c name=value" option to override configuration
+   variable from the command line.

+ * After "git apply --whitespace=fix" removed trailing blank lines in an
+   patch in a patch series, it failed to apply later patches that depend
+   on the presense of such blank lines.
+
+ * "git checkout --orphan newbranch" is similar to "-b newbranch" but
+   prepares to create a root commit that is not connected to any existing
+   commit.
+
+ * "git commit --amend" on a commit with an invalid author-name line that
+   lacks the display name didn't work (fb7749e4).
+
+ * "git cvsserver" can be told to use pserver; its password file can be
+   stored outside the repository.
+
+ * "git describe" tie-breaks tags that point at the same commit better by
+   paying attention to the tagger date (newer ones are preferred).
+
+ * The output from the textconv filter used by "git diff" can be cached to
+   speed up their reuse.
+
+ * "git diff --color" did not paint extended diff headers per line
+   (i.e. the coloring escape sequence didn't end at the end of line),
+   which confused "less -R".
+
+ * "git diff --word-diff=<mode>" extends the existing "--color-words"
+   option, making it more useful in color-challenged environments.
+
+ * The regexp to detect function headers used by "git diff" for PHP has
+   been enhanced for visibility modifiers (public, protected, etc.) to
+   better support PHP5.
+
+ * "git fetch" over HTTP verifies the downloaded packfiles more robustly.
+
+ * "git for-each-ref" learned "%(objectname:short)" that gives the object
+   name abbreviated.
+
+ * Various options to "git grep" (e.g. --count, --name-only) work better
+   with binary files.
+
+ * The memory usage by "git index-pack" (run during "git fetch" and "git
+   push") got leaner.
+
+ * "git log --follow <path>" follows across copies (it used to only follow
+   renames).  This may make the processing more expensive.
+
+ * "git notes prune" learned "-n" (dry-run) and "-v" options, similar to
+   what "git prune" has.
+
+ * "git patch-id" can be fed a mbox without getting confused by the
+   signature line in the format-patch output.
+
+ * "git revert" learned --strategy option to specify the merge strategy.
+
+ * "git send-email" learned --smtp-domain option to specify the domainname
+   used in the EHLO/HELO exchange.
+
+ * "git status [-s] --ignored" can be used to list ignored paths.
+
+ * Various "gitweb" enhancements and clean-ups, including syntax
+   highlighting.

 Fixes since v1.7.1
 ------------------
 
- * In 1.7.1, "git status" stopped refreshing the index by mistake.
-
 All of the fixes in v1.7.1.X maintenance series are included in this
 release, unless otherwise noted.
 
+ * We didn't recognize timezone "Z" as a synonym for "UTC" (75b37e70).
+
+ * In 1.7.1, "git status" stopped refreshing the index by mistake
+   (e251a7b3^2).
+
+ * We used to mistakenly think "../work" is a subdirectory of the current
+   directory when we are in "../work-xyz" (490544b).
+
+ * "git checkout" and "git rebase" overwrote paths that are marked "assume
+   unchanged" (aecda37c).
+
+ * "git clone/fetch/pull" issued an incorrect error message when a ref and
+   a symref that points to the ref were updated at the same time.  This
+   obviously would update them to the same value, and should not result in
+   an error condition (da3efdb).
+
+ * "git clone" did not configure remote.origin.url correctly for bare
+   clones (df61c889).
+
+ * "git diff" used to tell underlying xdiff machinery to work very hard to
+   minimize the output, but this often was spending too many extra cycles
+   for very little gain (582aa00).
+
+ * "git pull" accepted "--dry-run", gave it to underlying "git fetch" but
+   ignored the option itself, resulting in a bogus attempt to merge
+   unrelated commit (29609e68).
+
+ * "git reset --hard" started from a wrong directory and a working tree in
+   a nonstandard location is in use got confused (560fb6a1).
+
+ * "git stash" incorrectly lost paths in the working tree that were
+   previously removed from the index (7aa5d43).
