  * The option parsers of various commands that create new branch (or
    rename existing ones to a new name) were too loose and users were

 All of the fixes in v1.7.3.X maintenance series are included in this
 release, unless otherwise noted.
 
- * "diff" and friends incorrectly applied textconv filters to symlinks
-   (d391c0ff).
-
- * "git apply" segfaulted when a bogus input is fed to it (24305cd70).
-
- * Running "git cherry-pick --ff" on a root commit segfaulted (6355e50).
+ * "git checkout" removed an untracked file "foo" from the working
+    tree when switching to a branch that contains a tracked path
+    "foo/bar".  Prevent this, just like the case where the conflicting
+    path were "foo" (c752e7f..7980872d).
 
  * "git log --author=me --author=her" did not find commits written by
    me or by her; instead it looked for commits written by me and by
    her, which is impossible.
 
- * "git merge-file" can be called from within a subdirectory now
-   (55846b9a).
+ * "git merge" into an unborn branch removed an untracked file "foo"
+   from the working tree when merged branch had "foo" (2caf20c..172b642).
 
  * "git push --progress" shows progress indicators now.
 
  * "git repack" places its temporary packs under $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/pack
    instead of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/ to avoid cross directory renames.
 
- * "git rev-list --format="...%x00..." incorrectly chopped its output
-   at NUL (9130ac9fe).

  * "git submodule update --recursive --other-flags" passes flags down
    to its subinvocations.
