+Git v1.7.3 Release Notes (draft)
+================================
+
+Updates since v1.7.2
+--------------------
+
+ * git-gui got various updates and a new maintainer, Pat Thoyts.
+
+ * Gitweb allows its configuration to change per each request; it used to
+   read the configuration once upon startup.
+
+ * When git finds a corrupt object, it now reports the file that contains
+   it.
+
+ * "git checkout -B <it>" is a shorter way to say "git branch -f <it>"
+   followed by "git checkout <it>".
+
+ * When "git checkout" or "git merge" refuse to proceed in order to
+   protect local modification to your working tree, they used to stop
+   after showing just one path that might be lost.  They now show all,
+   in a format that is easier to read.
+
+ * "git clean" learned "-e" ("--exclude") option.
+
+ * Hunk headers produced for C# files by "git diff" and friends show more
+   relevant context than before.
+
+ * diff.ignoresubmodules configuration variable can be used to squelch the
+   differences in submodules reported when running commands (e.g. "diff",
+   "status", etc.) at the superproject level.
+
+ * http.useragent configuration can be used to lie who you are to your
+   restrictive firewall.
+
+ * "git rebase --strategy <s>" learned "-X" option to pass extra options
+   that are understood by the chosen merge strategy.
+
+ * "git rebase -i" learned "exec" that you can insert into the insn sheet
+   to run a command between its steps.
+
+ * "git rebase" between branches that have many binary changes that do
+   not conflict should be faster.
+
+ * "git rebase -i" peeks into rebase.autosquash configuration and acts as
+   if you gave --autosquash from the command line.
+
+
+Also contains various documentation updates.
+
+
+Fixes since v1.7.2
+------------------
+
+All of the fixes in v1.7.2.X maintenance series are included in this
+release, unless otherwise noted.
+
+ * "git merge -s recursive" (which is the default) did not handle cases
+   where a directory becomes a file (or vice versa) very well.
+
+ * "git fetch" and friends were accidentally broken for url with "+" in
+   its path, e.g. "git://git.gnome.org/gtk+".
