(usability, bells and whistles)
+ * The object replace mechanism can be bypassed with --no-replace-objects
+ global option given to the "git" program.
+
* "git fsck" by default checks the packfiles (i.e. "--full" is the
default); you can turn it off with "git fsck --no-full".
+ * import-tars contributed fast-import frontend learned more types of
+ compressed tarballs.
+
+ * "git instaweb" knows how to talk with mod_cgid to apache2.
+
* "git log --decorate" shows the location of HEAD as well.
+ * "git rebase -i" learned "reword" that acts like "edit" but immediately
+ starts an editor to tweak the log message without returning control to
+ the shell, which is done by "edit" to give an opportunity to tweak the
+ contents.
+
+ * Author names shown in gitweb output are links to search commits by the
+ author.

Fixes since v1.6.5
whitespace attribute). The 'trailing-space' whitespace error class has
become a short-hand to cover both of these and there is no behaviour
change for existing set-ups.
+
+ * "git cvsimport" did not work well when it is fed filenames from the
+ command line and is not started at the top of the work tree. We should
+ backport this by merging f6fdbb6 (cvsimport: fix relative argument
+ filenames, 2009-10-19).
+
+ * The way gitweb escapes its CGI parameters were broken especially when
+ the parameter was a UTF-8 string. We may want to backport this to
+ 1.6.5.X series by merging 452e225 (gitweb: fix esc_param, 2009-10-13).
+
+ * gitweb used to show 'patch' link for merge commits but the output from
+ it is not usable to feed "git am" with. We may want to backport this
+ to 1.6.5.X series by merging 1655c98 (gitweb: Do not show 'patch' link
+ for merge commits, 2009-10-09).
