(usability, bells and whistles)
+* "--pretty=<style>" option to the log family of commands can now be
+ spelled as "--format=<style>". In addition, --format=%formatstring
+ is a short-hand for --pretty=tformat:%formatstring.
+
+* "--oneline" is a synonym for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev=commit".
+
+* If you realize that you botched the patch when you are editing hunks
+ with the 'edit' action in git-add -i/-p, you can abort the editor to
+ tell git not to apply it.
+
+* git-archive learned --output=<file> option.
+
+* git-bisect shows not just the number of remaining commits whose goodness
+ is unknown, but also shows the estimated number of remaining rounds.
+
+* git-branch -r shows HEAD symref that points at a remote branch in
+ interest of each tracked remote repository.
+
+* git-config learned -e option to open an editor to edit the config file
+ directly.
+
+* git-format-patch can be told to use attachment with a new configuration,
+ format.attach.
+
+* git-imap-send learned to work around Thunderbird's inability to easily
+ disable format=flowed with a new configuration, imap.preformattedHTML.
+
+* git-rebase can be told to rebase the series even if your branch is a
+ descendant of the commit you are rebasing onto with --force-rebase
+ option.
+
+* git-send-email learned --confirm option to review the Cc: list before
+ sending the messages out.
+
+(developers)
+
+* Test scripts can be run under valgrind.

Fixes since v1.6.2
------------------
Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to
v1.6.2.X series.
+* .gitignore learned to handle backslash as a quoting mechanism for
+ comment introduction character "#" (backport by merging dd482ee if
+ needed).
+
+* timestamp output in --date=relative mode used to display timestamps that
+ are long time ago in the default mode; it now uses "N years M months
+ ago", and "N years ago" (backport by picking 10edf37 if needed).
+
+* git-add -i/-p now works with non-ASCII pathnames (backport by picking
+ 8851f48 if needed).
+
+* "git hash-object -w" did not read from the configuration file from the
+ correct .git directory (backport by merging 272459a if needed).
+
+* git-send-email learned to correctly handle multiple Cc: addresses
+ (backport by merging afe756c if needed).
