with the 'edit' action in git-add -i/-p, you can abort the editor to
tell git not to apply it.
+* The number of commits shown in "you are ahead/behind your upstream"

* git-archive learned --output=<file> option.
* git-bisect shows not just the number of remaining commits whose goodness
* git-clone runs post-checkout hook when run without --no-checkout.
+* git-fast-export choked when seeing a tag that does not point at commit.

* git-format-patch can be told to use attachment with a new configuration,
format.attach.
* git-format-patch can be told to produce deep or shallow message threads.
+* git-format-patch learned format.headers configuration to add extra

Fixes since v1.6.2
------------------
Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to
v1.6.2.X series.
-* "git-blame -S" did not quite work near the commits that were given
- on the command line correctly (jc/maint-1.6.0-blame-s).
-
* The initial checkout did not read the attributes from the .gitattribute
file that is being checked out.
-* git-diff feeds files in work-tree representation to external diff and
- textconv (js/maint-diff-temp-smudge).
-
* git-gc spent excessive amount of time to decide if an object appears
in a locally existing pack (if needed, backport by merging 69e020a).
