Fixes since v1.6.1
------------------
+* "git apply" took file modes from the patch text and updated the mode
+ bits of the target tree even when the patch was not about mode changes.
+
+* "git checkout $tree" did not trigger an error.
+
* "git describe --all" complained when a commit is described with a tag,
which was nonsense.
* "git daemon", and "git merge-file" are more careful when freopen fails
and barf, instead of going on and writing to unopened filehandle.
-Other documentation fixes.
+* "git http-push" did not like some RFC 4918 compliant DAV server
+ responses.
+
+* "git merge -s recursive" mistakenly overwritten an untracked file in the
+ work tree upon delete/modify conflict.
+
+* "git merge -s recursive" didn't leave the index unmerged for entries with
+ rename/delete conflictd.
+
+* "git merge -s recursive" clobbered untracked files in the work tree.
+
+* "git mv -k" with more than one errorneous paths misbehaved.
+
+* "git rebase -i" issued an unnecessary error message upon a user error of
+ marking the first commit to be "squash"ed.
+
+Other documentation updates.
