(subsystems)
+ * gitweb Perl style clean-up.
+
+ * git-svn updates, including a new --authors-prog option to map author
+ names by invoking an external program.
+
+(portability)
+
+ * We feed iconv with "UTF-8" instead of "utf8"; the former is
+ understood more widely.
+
(performance)
(usability, bells and whistles)
+ * "git add --edit" lets users edit the whole patch text to fine-tune what
+ is added to the index.
+
+ * "git log --graph" draws graphs more compactly by using horizonal lines
+ when able.
+
+ * "git log --decorate" shows shorter refnames by stripping well-known
+ refs/* prefix.
+
+ * "git send-email" understands quoted aliases in .mailrc files (might
+ have to be backported to 1.6.3.X).
+
+ * "git send-email" can fetch the sender address from the configuration
+ variable "sendmail.from" (and "sendmail.<identity>.from").
+
+ * "git show-branch" can color its output.
+
+ * "add" and "update" subcommands to "git submodule" learned --reference
+ option to use local clone with references.
+
(developers)
+ * A major part of the "git bisect" wrapper has moved to C.
Fixes since v1.6.3
------------------
Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to
v1.6.3.X series.
+ * The way Git.pm sets up a Repository object was not friendly to callers
+ that chdir around. It now internally records the repository location
+ as an absolute path when autodetected.
