+Git v1.7.10 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+Updates since v1.7.9
+--------------------
+
+UI, Workflows & Features
+
++ * Teams for localizing the messages from the Porcelain layer of
++ commands are starting to form, thanks to Jiang Xin who volunteered
++ to be the localization coordinator. An initial set of translated
++ messages for simplified chinese is available.
++
+ * Improved handling of views, labels and branches in git-p4 (in contrib).
+
+ * "git-p4" (in contrib) suffered from unnecessary merge conflicts when
+ p4 expanded the embedded $RCS$-like keywords; it can be now told to
+ unexpand them.
+
+ * Some "git-svn" updates.
+
+ * "vcs-svn"/"svn-fe" learned to read dumps with svn-deltas and
+ support incremental imports.
+
+ * The configuration mechanism learned an "include" facility; an
+ assignment to the include.path pseudo-variable causes the named
+ file to be included in-place when Git looks up configuration
+ variables.
+
+ * A content filter (clean/smudge) used to be just a way to make the
+ recorded contents "more useful", and allowed to fail; a filter can
+ new optionally be marked as "required".
+
+ * "git am" learned to pass "-b" option to underlying "git mailinfo", so
+ that bracketed string other than "PATCH" at the beginning can be kept.
+
+ * "git clone" learned "--single-branch" option to limit cloning to a
+ single branch (surprise!).
+
+ * "git clone" learned to detach the HEAD in the resulting repository
+ when the source repository's HEAD does not point to a branch.
+
+ * When showing a patch while ignoring whitespace changes, the context
+ lines are taken from the postimage, in order to make it easier to
+ view the output.
+
+ * "diff-highlight" filter (in contrib/) was updated to produce more
+ aesthetically pleasing output.
+
+ * "git merge" in an interactive session learned to spawn the editor
+ by default to let the user edit the auto-generated merge message,
+ to encourage people to explain their merges better. Legacy scripts
+ can export GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT=no to retain the historical behavior.
+ Both "git merge" and "git pull" can be given --no-edit from the
+ command line to accept the auto-generated merge message.
+
+ * "git push" learned the "--prune" option, similar to "git fetch".
+
+ * "git tag --list" can be given "--points-at <object>" to limit its
+ output to those that point at the given object.
+
+ * "gitweb" allows intermediate entries in the directory hierarchy
+ that leads to a projects to be clicked, which in turn shows the
+ list of projects inside that directory.
+
+ * "gitweb" learned to read various pieces of information for the
+ repositories lazily, instead of reading everything that could be
+ needed (including the ones that are not necessary for a specific
+ task).
+
+Performance
+
+ * During "git upload-pack" in response to "git fetch", unnecessary calls
+ to parse_object() have been eliminated, to help performance in
+ repositories with excessive number of refs.
+
+Internal Implementation (please report possible regressions)
+
+ * Recursive call chains in "git index-pack" to deal with long delta
+ chains have been flattened, to reduce the stack footprint.
+
+ * Use of add_extra_ref() API is now gone, to make it possible to
+ cleanly restructure the overall refs API.
+
+ * The command line parser of "git pack-objects" now uses parse-options
+ API.
+
+ * The test suite supports the new "test_pause" helper function.
+
+ * Parallel to the test suite, there is a beginning of performance
+ benchmarking framework.
+
+ * t/Makefile is adjusted to prevent newer versions of GNU make from
+ running tests in seemingly random order.
+
+Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
+
+
+Fixes since v1.7.9
+------------------
+
+Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.7.9 in the maintenance
+releases are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
+details).
+
++ * "git branch --with $that" assumed incorrectly that the user will never
++ ask the question with nonsense value in $that.
++ (merge 6c41e97 cn/maint-branch-with-bad later to maint).
++
++ * An invalid regular expression pattern given by an end user made
++ "gitweb" to return garbled response.
++ (merge 36612e4 jn/maint-gitweb-invalid-regexp later to maint).
++
++ * "git rev-list --verify-objects -q" omitted the extra verification
++ it needs to do over "git rev-list --objects -q" by mistake.
++ (merge 9899372 nd/maint-verify-objects later to maint).
++
+ * The bulk check-in codepath streamed contents that needs
+ smudge/clean filters without running them, instead of punting and
+ delegating to the codepath to run filters after slurping everything
+ to core.
+ (merge 4f22b10 jk/maint-avoid-streaming-filtered-contents later to maint).
+
+ * When the filter driver exits before reading the content before the
+ main git process writes the contents to be filtered to the pipe to
+ it, the latter could be killed with SIGPIPE instead of ignoring
+ such an event as an error.
+ (merge 6424c2a jb/filter-ignore-sigpipe later to maint).
+
+ * When a remote helper exits before reading the blank line from the
+ main git process to signal the end of commands, the latter could be
+ killed with SIGPIPE. Instead we should ignore such event as a
+ non-error.
+ (merge c34fe63 sp/smart-http-failure-to-push later to maint).
+
+ * "git bundle create" produced a corrupt bundle file upon seeing
+ commits with excessively long subject line.
+ (merge 8a557bb tr/maint-bundle-long-subject later to maint).
+
+ * "gitweb" used to drop warnings in the log file when "heads" view is
+ accessed in a repository whose HEAD does not point at a valid
+ branch.
