+Git v1.7.6.1 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.7.6
+------------------
+
+ * Various codepaths that invoked zlib deflate/inflate assumed that these
+ functions can compress or uncompress more than 4GB data in one call on
+ platforms with 64-bit long, which has been corrected.
+
+ * "git unexecutable" reported that "unexecutable" was not found, even
+ though the actual error was that "unexecutable" was found but did
+ not have a proper she-bang line to be executed.
+
+ * "git checkout -b <branch>" was confused when attempting to create a
+ branch whose name ends with "-g" followed by hexadecimal digits,
+ and refused to work.
+
+ * "git checkout -b <branch>" sometimes wrote a bogus reflog entry,
+ causing later "git checkout -" to fail.
+
+ * "git diff --cc" learned to correctly ignore binary files.
+
+ * "git fast-export" forgot to quote pathnames with unsafe characters
+ in its output.
+
+ * "git fetch" did not recurse into submodules in subdirectories.
+
+ * "git ls-tree" did not error out when asked to show a corrupt tree.
+
+ * "git pull" without any argument left an extra whitespace after the
+ command name in its reflog.
+
+ * "git rebase -i -p" incorrectly dropped commits from side branches.
+
+ * "git reset [<commit>] paths..." did not reset the index entry correctly
+ for unmerged paths.
+
+ * "git submodule add" did not allow a relative repository path when
+ the superproject did not have any default remote url.
+
+ * "git submodule foreach" failed to correctly give the standard input to
+ the user-supplied command it invoked.
+
+ * submodules that the user has never showed interest in by running
+ "git submodule init" was incorrectly marked as interesting by "git
+ submodule sync".
+
+ * "git submodule update --quiet" was not really quiet.
+
+ * "git tag -l <glob>..." did not take multiple glob patterns from the
+ command line.
