-========================
+Git v1.7.1 Release Notes (draft)
+================================
 
 Updates since v1.7.0
 --------------------
 
+ * Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively ask
+   password can be told to use an external program given via GIT_ASKPASS.
+
+ * "git am" learned "--keep-cr" option to handle inputs that are
+   mixture of changes to files with and without CRLF line endings.
+
+ * "git cvsimport" learned -R option to leave revision mapping between
+   CVS revisions and resulting git commits.
+
+ * "git diff --submodule" notices and descries dirty submodules.
+
+ * "git for-each-ref" learned %(symref), %(symref:short) and %(flag)
+   tokens.
+
+ * "git hash-object --stdin-paths" can take "--no-filters" option now.
+
+ * "git init" can be told to look at init.templatedir configuration
+   variable (obviously that has to come from either /etc/gitconfig or
+   $HOME/.gitconfig).
+
  * "git grep" learned "--no-index" option, to search inside contents that
    are not managed by git.
 
+ * "git grep" learned --color=auto/always/never.
+
+ * "git grep" learned to paint filename and line-number in colors.
+
+ * "git log -p --first-parent -m" shows one-parent diff for merge
+   commits, instead of showing combined diff.
+
+ * "git merge-file" learned to use custom conflict marker size and also use
+   the "union merge" behaviour.
+
+ * "git notes" command has been rewritten in C and learned quite a
+   many commands and features to help you carry notes forward across
+   rebases and amends.
+
+ * "git request-pull" identifies the commit the request is relative to in
+   a more readable way.
+
+ * "git reset" learned "--keep" option that lets you discard commits
+   near the tip while preserving your local changes in a way similar
+   to how "git checkout branch" does.
+
+ * "git status" notices and descries dirty submodules.
+
+ * "git svn" should work better when interacting with repositories
+   with CRLF line endings.
+
+ * "git imap-send" learned to support CRAM-MD5 authentication.
+
 Fixes since v1.7.0
 ------------------
 
 All of the fixes in v1.7.0.X maintenance series are included in this
 release, unless otherwise noted.
 
+ * "git add frotz/nitfol" did not complain when the entire frotz/ directory
+   was ignored.
