 Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to
 v1.6.2.X series.
 
-* 'git-submodule add' did not tolerate extra slashes and ./ in the

 * git-gc spent excessive amount of time to decide if an object appears
   in a locally existing pack (if needed, backport by merging 69e020a).
