+GIT v1.6.0.4 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.6.0.3
+--------------------
+
+* 'git-add -p' said "No changes" when only binary files were changed.
+
+* git-archive did not work correctly in bare repositories.
+
+* when we refuse to detect renames because there are too many new or
+  deleted files, we did not say how many there are.
+
+* 'git-push --mirror' tried and failed to push the stash; there is no
+  point in sending it to begin with.
+
+* 'git-send-email' had a small fd leak while scanning directory.
+
+* git-svn used deprecated 'git-foo' form of subcommand invocaition.
+
+* Plugged small memleaks here and there.
+
+* Also contains many documentation updates.

+Submitting properly formatted patches via Gmail is simple now that
+IMAP support is available. First, edit your ~/.gitconfig to specify your
+account settings:
+
+[imap]
+	folder = "[Gmail]/Drafts"
+	host = imaps://imap.gmail.com
+	user = user@gmail.com
+	pass = p4ssw0rd
+	port = 993
+	sslverify = false
+
+Next, ensure that your Gmail settings are correct. In "Settings" the
+"Use Unicode (UTF-8) encoding for outgoing messages" should be checked.
+
+Once your commits are ready to send to the mailing list, run the following
+command to send the patch emails to your Gmail Drafts folder.
+
+	$ git format-patch -M --stdout origin/master | git imap-send
+
+Go to your Gmail account, open the Drafts folder, find the patch email, fill
+in the To: and CC: fields and send away!
