  * Various vcs-svn enhancements.
 
+ * Update to more modern HP-UX port.
+
+ * "git apply -v" reports offset lines when the patch does not apply at
+   the exact location recorded in the diff output.
+
+ * "git branch --track" (and "git checkout --track --branch") used to
+   allow setting up a random non-branch that does not make sense to follow
+   as the "upstream".  The command correctly diagnoses it as an error.
+
  * "git config" used to be also known as "git repo-config", but the old
    name is now officially deprecated.
 
  * "git checkout --detach <commit>" is a more user friendly synonym for
    "git checkout <commit>^0".
 
+ * "git checkout" performed on detached HEAD gives a warning and an
+   advice when the commit being left behind will become unreachable from
+   any branch or tag.
+
  * "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can be told to use custom merge
    strategy, similar to "git rebase".
 
  * "git cherry-pick" remembers which commit failed to apply when it is
    stopped by conflicts, making it unnecessary to use "commit -c $commit"
    to conclude it.
 
+ * "git cvsimport" bails out immediately when the cvs server cannot be
+   reached, without spewing unnecessary error messages that complain about
+   the server response it never got.
+
  * "git grep --no-index" did not honor pathspecs correctly, returning
    paths outside the specified area.
 
+ * "git log" family of commands now understand globbing pathspecs.  You
+   can say "git log -- '*.txt'" for example.
+
  * "git rev-list --objects $revs -- $pathspec" would limit the objects listed
    in its output properly with the pathspec, in preparation for narrow
    clones.
 
- * "git log" family of commands now understand globbing pathspecs.  You
-   can say "git log -- '*.txt'" for example.
+ * "git push" with no parameters gives better advice messages when
+   "tracking" is used as the push.default semantics or there is no remote
+   configured yet.
 
  * "git rerere" learned a new subcommand "remaining", that is similar to
    "status" that lists the paths that had conflicts that are known to

 All of the fixes in the v1.7.4.X maintenance series are included in this
 release, unless otherwise noted.
 
+ * We used to keep one file descriptor open for each and every packfile
+   that we have a mmap window on it (read: "in use"), even when for very
+   tiny packfiles.  We now close the file descriptor early when the entire
+   packfile fits inside one mmap window.
+
+ * "git apply" used to confuse lines updated by previous hunks as lines
+   that existed before when applying a hunk, contributing misapplication
+   of patches with offsets.

  * "git clone /no/such/path" did not fail correctly (jk/fail-null/clone).
