 Updates since v1.5.3
 --------------------
 
+ * Comes with much improved gitk.
+
+ * "progress display" from many commands are a lot nicer to the
+   eye.  Transfer commands show throughput data.
+
+ * git-reset is now built-in and its output can be squelched with -q.
+
+ * git-send-email can optionally talk over ssmtp and use SMTP-AUTH.
+
+ * git-rebase learned --whitespace option.
+
+ * git-remote knows --mirror mode.
+
+ * git-merge can call the "post-merge" hook.
+
+ * git-pack-objects can optionally run deltification with multiple threads.
+
+ * git-archive can optionally substitute keywords in files marked with
+   export-subst attribute.
+
+ * git-for-each-ref learned %(xxxdate:<dateformat>) syntax to
+   show the various date fields in different formats.
+
+ * git-gc --auto is a low-impact way to automatically run a
+   variant of git-repack that does not lose unreferenced objects
+   (read: safer than the usual one) after the user accumulates
+   too many loose objects.
+
+ * git-push has been rewritten in C.
+
+ * git-push learned --dry-run option to show what would happen
+   if a push is run.
+
+ * git-remote learned "rm" subcommand.
+
+ * git-rebase --interactive mode can now work on detached HEAD.
+
+ * git-cvsserver can be run via git-shell.
+
+ * git-am and git-rebase are far less verbose.
+
+ * git-pull learned to pass --[no-]ff option to underlying git-merge.
+
+ * Various Perforce importer updates.
+
+ * git-lost-found was deprecated in favor of git-fsck's --lost-found
+   option.
+
+ * git-svnimport was removed in favor of git-svn.
+
+ * git-bisect learned "skip" action to mark untestable commits.
+
+ * rename detection diff family, while detecting exact matches,
+   has been greatly optimized.
+
+ * Example update and post-receive hooks have been improved.
+
+ * In addition there are quite a few internal clean-ups. Notably
+
+   - many fork/exec have been replaced with run-command API,
+     brought from the msysgit effort.
+
+   - introduction and more use of the option parser API.
+
+   - enhancement and more use of the strbuf API.
