    casting the (char *) pointer to (int *); GCC 4.4 did not like this,
    and aborted compilation.
 
- * http-push had a small use-after-free bug.
-
- * command completion code in bash did not reliably detect that we are
-   in a bare repository.
-
- * "git for-each-ref" had a segfaulting bug when dealing with a tag object
-   created by an ancient git.
-
  * Some unlink(2) failures went undiagnosed.
 
  * The "recursive" merge strategy misbehaved when faced rename/delete
    conflicts while coming up with an intermediate merge base.
 
+ * The low-level merge algorithm did not handle a degenerate case of
+   merging a file with itself using itself as the common ancestor
+   gracefully.  It should produce the file itself, but instead
+   produced an empty result.
+
  * GIT_TRACE mechanism segfaulted when tracing a shell-quoted aliases.
 
+ * OpenBSD also uses st_ctimspec in "struct stat", instead of "st_ctim".
+
+ * With NO_CROSS_DIRECTORY_HARDLINKS, "make install" can be told not to
+   create hardlinks between $(gitexecdir)/git-$builtin_commands and
+   $(bindir)/git.
+
+ * command completion code in bash did not reliably detect that we are
+   in a bare repository.
+
  * "git add ." in an empty directory complained that pathspec "." did not
    match anything, which may be technically correct, but not useful.  We
    silently make it a no-op now.
 
+ * "git add -p" (and "patch" action in "git add -i") was broken when
+   the first hunk that adds a line at the top was split into two and
+   both halves are marked to be used.
+
+ * "git blame path" misbehaved at the commit where path became file
+   from a directory with some files in it.
+
+ * "git for-each-ref" had a segfaulting bug when dealing with a tag object
+   created by an ancient git.
+
  * "git format-patch -k" still added patch numbers if format.numbered
    configuration was set.
 
- * OpenBSD also uses st_ctimspec in "struct stat", instead of "st_ctim".
+ * "git grep --color ''" did not terminate.  The command also had
+   subtle bugs with its -w option.
 
- * With NO_CROSS_DIRECTORY_HARDLINKS, "make install" can be told not to
-   create hardlinks between $(gitexecdir)/git-$builtin_commands and
-   $(bindir)/git.
+ * http-push had a small use-after-free bug.
 
  * "git push" was converting OFS_DELTA pack representation into less
    efficient REF_DELTA representation unconditionally upon transfer,
    making the transferred data unnecessarily larger.
 
+ * "git remote show origin" segfaulted when origin was still empty.
+
 Many other general usability updates around help text, diagnostic messages
 and documentation are included as well.
