+Git v1.7.0.5 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.7.0.4
+--------------------
+
+ * "git daemon" failed to compile on platforms without sockaddr_storage type.
+
+ * Output from "git rev-list --pretty=oneline" was unparsable when a
+ commit did not have any message, which is abnormal but possible in a
+ repository converted from foreign scm.
+
+ * "git stash show <commit-that-is-not-a-stash>" gave an error message
+ that was not so useful. Reworded the message to "<it> is not a
+ stash".
+
+ * Python scripts in contrib/ area now start with "#!/usr/bin/env python"
+ to honor user's PATH.
+
+ * "git imap-send" used to mistake any line that begins with "From " as a
+ message separator in format-patch output.
+
+ * Smart http server backend failed to report an internal server error and
+ infinitely looped instead after output pipe was closed.
+
+And other minor fixes and documentation updates.

-M|<num>|::
- Detect moving lines in the file as well. When a commit
- moves a block of lines in a file (e.g. the original file
- has A and then B, and the commit changes it to B and
- then A), the traditional 'blame' algorithm typically blames
- the lines that were moved up (i.e. B) to the parent and
- assigns blame to the lines that were moved down (i.e. A)
- to the child commit. With this option, both groups of lines
- are blamed on the parent.
+ Detect moved or copied lines within a file. When a commit
+ moves or copies a block of lines (e.g. the original file
+ has A and then B, and the commit changes it to B and then
+ A), the traditional 'blame' algorithm notices only half of
+ the movement and typically blames the lines that were moved
+ up (i.e. B) to the parent and assigns blame to the lines that
+ were moved down (i.e. A) to the child commit. With this
+ option, both groups of lines are blamed on the parent by
+ running extra passes of inspection.

<num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
alphanumeric characters that git must detect as moving
commit.

+ In addition to `-M`, detect lines moved or copied from other
files that were modified in the same commit. This is
useful when you reorganize your program and move code
around across files. When this option is given twice,
