+Git v1.7.5.1 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.7.5
+------------------
+
+ * When an object "$tree:$path" does not exist, if $path does exist in the
+   subtree of $tree that corresponds to the subdirectory the user is in,
+   git now suggests using "$tree:./$path" in addition to the advice to use
+   the full path from the root of the working tree.
+
+ * The "--date=relative" output format used to say "X years, 12 months"
+   when it should have said "X+1 years".
+
+ * The smart-HTTP transfer was broken in 1.7.5 when the client needs
+   to issue a small POST (which uses content-length) and then a large
+   POST (which uses chunked) back to back.
+
+ * "git clean" used to fail on an empty directory that is not readable,
+   even though rmdir(2) could remove such a directory.  Now we attempt it
+   as the last resort.
+
+ * The "--dirstat" option of "diff" family of commands used to totally
+   ignore a change that only rearranged lines within a file.  Such a
+   change now counts as at least a minimum but non zero change.
+
+ * The "--dirstat" option of "diff" family of commands used to use the
+   pathname in the original, instead of the pathname in the result,
+   when renames are involved.
+
+ * "git pack-object" did not take core.bigfilethreashold into account
+   (unlike fast-import); now it does.
+
+ * "git reflog" ignored options like "--format=.." on the command line.
+
+ * "git stash apply" used to refuse to work if there was any change in
+   the working tree, even when the change did not overlap with the change
+   the stash recorded.
+
+ * "git stash apply @{99999}" was not diagnosed as an error, even when you
+   did not have that many stash entries.
+
+ * An error message from "git send-email" to diagnose a broken SMTP
+   connection configuration lacked a space between "hello=<smtp-domain>"
+   and "port=<smtp-server-port>".
+
+And other minor fixes and documentation updates.

+Git v1.7.6 Release Notes (draft)
+========================
+
+Updates since v1.7.5
+--------------------
+
+ * Various git-svn updates.
+
+ * Updates the way content tags are handled in gitweb.
+
+ * Clean-up of the C part of i18n (but not l10n---please wait)
+   continues.
+
+ * Processes spawned by "[alias] <name> = !process" in the configuration
+   can inspect GIT_PREFIX environment variable to learn where in the
+   working tree the original command was invoked.
+
+ * "git blame" learned "--abbrev[=<n>]" option to control the minimum
+   number of hexdigits shown for commit object names.
+
+ * "git cvsimport" learned that CVSNT stores its password file in a
+   location different from the traditional CVS.
+
+ * "git diff -C -C" used to disable the rename detection entirely when
+   there are too many copy candidate paths in the tree; now it falls
+   back to "-C" when doing so would keep the copy candidate paths
+   under the rename detection limit.
+
+ * "git format-patch" learned "--quiet" option to suppress the output of
+   the names of generated files.
+
+ * "git format-patch" quotes people's names when it has RFC822 special
+   characters in it, e.g. "Junio C. Hamano" <jch@example.com>.  Earlier
+   it was up to the user to do this when using its output.
+
+ * "git log" and friends learned a new "--notes" option to replace the
+   "--show-notes" option.  Unlike "--show-notes", "--notes=<ref>" does
+   not imply showing the default notes.
+
+ * "git merge" learned "-" as a short-hand for "the previous branch", just
+   like the way "git checkout -" works.
+
+ * "git rebase" that does not specify on top of which branch to rebase
+   the current branch now uses @{upstream} of the current branch.
+
+ * "git rev-list --count" used with "--cherry-mark" counts the cherry-picked
+   commits separately, producing more a useful output.
+
+ * "git submodule update" learned "--force" option to get rid of local
+   changes in submodules and replace them with the up-to-date version.
+
+ * Compressed tarball gitweb generates is made without the timestamp of
+   the tarball generation; snapshot from the same tree should result in
+   a same tarball.
+
+ * "git-p4" (in contrib) learned to merge a file that was added on both
+   branches differently by using 2-way merge.
+
+Also contains various documentation updates and minor miscellaneous
+changes.
+
+
+Fixes since v1.7.5
+------------------
+
+Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes in 1.7.5.X maintenance track are
+included in this release.
+
+ * "git add -p" did not work correctly when a hunk is split and then
+   one of them was given to the editor.
+   (merge jc/maint-add-p-overlapping-hunks later)
+
+ * "git config" used to choke with an insanely long line.

+   nonsense result that consists of alternating empty output.
+   (merge early part of cn/format-patch-quiet later)

+ * "git format-patch" did not quote RFC822 special characters in the
+   email address (e.g From: Junio C. Hamano <jch@example.com>, not
+   From: "Junio C. Hamano" <jch@example.com>).

-* Save that patch to a file in UNIX mailbox format.  Call it say
-  a.patch.

-* Try to apply to the tip of the "master" branch from the
-  git.git public repository:
-
-    $ git fetch http://kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git master:test-apply
-    $ git checkout test-apply
-    $ git reset --hard
-    $ git am a.patch

-If it does not apply correctly, there can be various reasons.

-Thunderbird
------------
-
-(A Large Angry SCM)
-
-By default, Thunderbird will both wrap emails as well as flag them as
-being 'format=flowed', both of which will make the resulting email unusable
-by git.
-
-Here are some hints on how to successfully submit patches inline using
-Thunderbird.
-
-There are two different approaches.  One approach is to configure
-Thunderbird to not mangle patches.  The second approach is to use
-an external editor to keep Thunderbird from mangling the patches.
-
-Approach #1 (configuration):
-
-This recipe is current as of Thunderbird 2.0.0.19.  Three steps:
-  1.  Configure your mail server composition as plain text
-      Edit...Account Settings...Composition & Addressing,
-        uncheck 'Compose Messages in HTML'.
-  2.  Configure your general composition window to not wrap
-      Edit..Preferences..Composition, wrap plain text messages at 0
-  3.  Disable the use of format=flowed
-      Edit..Preferences..Advanced..Config Editor.  Search for:
-        mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed
-      toggle it to make sure it is set to 'false'.
-
-After that is done, you should be able to compose email as you
-otherwise would (cut + paste, git-format-patch | git-imap-send, etc),
-and the patches should not be mangled.
-
-Approach #2 (external editor):
-
-This recipe appears to work with the current [*1*] Thunderbird from Suse.
-
-The following Thunderbird extensions are needed:
-	AboutConfig 0.5
-		http://aboutconfig.mozdev.org/
-	External Editor 0.7.2
-		http://globs.org/articles.php?lng=en&pg=8
-
-1) Prepare the patch as a text file using your method of choice.
-
-2) Before opening a compose window, use Edit->Account Settings to
-uncheck the "Compose messages in HTML format" setting in the
-"Composition & Addressing" panel of the account to be used to send the
-patch. [*2*]
-
-3) In the main Thunderbird window, _before_ you open the compose window
-for the patch, use Tools->about:config to set the following to the
-indicated values:
-	mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed	=> false
-	mailnews.wraplength		=> 0
-
-4) Open a compose window and click the external editor icon.
-
-5) In the external editor window, read in the patch file and exit the
-editor normally.
-
-6) Back in the compose window: Add whatever other text you wish to the
-message, complete the addressing and subject fields, and press send.
-
-7) Optionally, undo the about:config/account settings changes made in
-steps 2 & 3.

------
-
-GMail does not appear to have any way to turn off line wrapping in the web

-use any IMAP email client to connect to the google IMAP server and forward
-the emails through that.
-
-To use "git send-email" and send your patches through the GMail SMTP server,
-edit ~/.gitconfig to specify your account settings:
-
-[sendemail]
-	smtpencryption = tls
-	smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
-	smtpuser = user@gmail.com
-	smtppass = p4ssw0rd
-	smtpserverport = 587

-Once your commits are ready to be sent to the mailing list, run the
-following commands:
-
-  $ git format-patch --cover-letter -M origin/master -o outgoing/
-  $ edit outgoing/0000-*
-  $ git send-email outgoing/*
-
-To submit using the IMAP interface, first, edit your ~/.gitconfig to specify your
-account settings:
-
-[imap]
-	folder = "[Gmail]/Drafts"
-	host = imaps://imap.gmail.com
-	user = user@gmail.com
-	pass = p4ssw0rd
-	port = 993
-	sslverify = false
-
-You might need to instead use: folder = "[Google Mail]/Drafts" if you get an error
-that the "Folder doesn't exist".
-
-Once your commits are ready to be sent to the mailing list, run the
-following commands:
-
-  $ git format-patch --cover-letter -M --stdout origin/master | git imap-send
-
-Just make sure to disable line wrapping in the email client (GMail web
-interface will line wrap no matter what, so you need to use a real
-IMAP client).

+
+Checking for patch corruption
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Many mailers if not set up properly will corrupt whitespace.  Here are
+two common types of corruption:
+
+* Empty context lines that do not have _any_ whitespace.
+
+* Non-empty context lines that have one extra whitespace at the
+  beginning.
+
+One way to test if your MUA is set up correctly is:
+
+* Send the patch to yourself, exactly the way you would, except
+  with To: and Cc: lines that do not contain the list and
+  maintainer address.
+
+* Save that patch to a file in UNIX mailbox format.  Call it a.patch,
+  say.
+
+* Apply it:
+
+    $ git fetch <project> master:test-apply
+    $ git checkout test-apply
+    $ git reset --hard
+    $ git am a.patch
+
+If it does not apply correctly, there can be various reasons.
+
+* The patch itself does not apply cleanly.  That is _bad_ but
+  does not have much to do with your MUA.  You might want to rebase
+  the patch with linkgit:git-rebase[1] before regenerating it in
+  this case.
+
+* The MUA corrupted your patch; "am" would complain that
+  the patch does not apply.  Look in the .git/rebase-apply/ subdirectory and
+  see what 'patch' file contains and check for the common
+  corruption patterns mentioned above.
+
+* While at it, check the 'info' and 'final-commit' files as well.
+  If what is in 'final-commit' is not exactly what you would want to
+  see in the commit log message, it is very likely that the
+  receiver would end up hand editing the log message when applying
+  your patch.  Things like "Hi, this is my first patch.\n" in the
+  patch e-mail should come after the three-dash line that signals
+  the end of the commit message.
+
+MUA-SPECIFIC HINTS
+------------------
+Here are some hints on how to successfully submit patches inline using
+various mailers.
+
+GMail
+~~~~~
+GMail does not have any way to turn off line wrapping in the web
+interface, so it will mangle any emails that you send.  You can however
+use "git send-email" and send your patches through the GMail SMTP server, or
+use any IMAP email client to connect to the google IMAP server and forward
+the emails through that.
+
+For hints on using 'git send-email' to send your patches through the
+GMail SMTP server, see the EXAMPLE section of linkgit:git-send-email[1].
+
+For hints on submission using the IMAP interface, see the EXAMPLE
+section of linkgit:git-imap-send[1].
+
+Thunderbird
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+By default, Thunderbird will both wrap emails as well as flag
+them as being 'format=flowed', both of which will make the
+resulting email unusable by git.
+
+There are three different approaches: use an add-on to turn off line wraps,
+configure Thunderbird to not mangle patches, or use
+an external editor to keep Thunderbird from mangling the patches.
+
+Approach #1 (add-on)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Install the Toggle Word Wrap add-on that is available from
+https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/toggle-word-wrap/
+It adds a menu entry "Enable Word Wrap" in the composer's "Options" menu
+that you can tick off. Now you can compose the message as you otherwise do
+(cut + paste, 'git format-patch' | 'git imap-send', etc), but you have to
+insert line breaks manually in any text that you type.
+
+Approach #2 (configuration)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Three steps:
+
+1. Configure your mail server composition as plain text:
+   Edit...Account Settings...Composition & Addressing,
+   uncheck "Compose Messages in HTML".
+
+2. Configure your general composition window to not wrap.
++
+In Thunderbird 2:
+Edit..Preferences..Composition, wrap plain text messages at 0
++
+In Thunderbird 3:
+Edit..Preferences..Advanced..Config Editor.  Search for
+"mail.wrap_long_lines".
+Toggle it to make sure it is set to `false`.
+
+3. Disable the use of format=flowed:
+Edit..Preferences..Advanced..Config Editor.  Search for
+"mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed".
+Toggle it to make sure it is set to `false`.
+
+After that is done, you should be able to compose email as you
+otherwise would (cut + paste, 'git format-patch' | 'git imap-send', etc),
+and the patches will not be mangled.
+
+Approach #3 (external editor)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The following Thunderbird extensions are needed:
+AboutConfig from http://aboutconfig.mozdev.org/ and
+External Editor from http://globs.org/articles.php?lng=en&pg=8
+
+1. Prepare the patch as a text file using your method of choice.
+
+2. Before opening a compose window, use Edit->Account Settings to
+   uncheck the "Compose messages in HTML format" setting in the
+   "Composition & Addressing" panel of the account to be used to
+   send the patch.
+
+3. In the main Thunderbird window, 'before' you open the compose
+   window for the patch, use Tools->about:config to set the
+   following to the indicated values:
++
+----------
+	mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed  => false
+	mailnews.wraplength             => 0
+----------
+
+4. Open a compose window and click the external editor icon.
+
+5. In the external editor window, read in the patch file and exit
+   the editor normally.
+
+Side note: it may be possible to do step 2 with
+about:config and the following settings but no one's tried yet.
+
+----------
+	mail.html_compose                       => false
+	mail.identity.default.compose_html      => false
+	mail.identity.id?.compose_html          => false
+----------
+
+There is a script in contrib/thunderbird-patch-inline which can help
+you include patches with Thunderbird in an easy way. To use it, do the
+steps above and then use the script as the external editor.
+
+KMail
+~~~~~
+This should help you to submit patches inline using KMail.
+
+1. Prepare the patch as a text file.
+
+2. Click on New Mail.
+
+3. Go under "Options" in the Composer window and be sure that
+   "Word wrap" is not set.
+
+4. Use Message -> Insert file... and insert the patch.
+
+5. Back in the compose window: add whatever other text you wish to the
+   message, complete the addressing and subject fields, and press send.
