+GIT v1.6.4.3 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.6.4.2
+--------------------
+
+* "git clone" from an empty repository gave unnecessary error message,
+  even though it did everything else correctly.
+
+* "git cvsserver" invoked git commands via "git-foo" style, which has long
+  been deprecated.
+
+* "git fetch" and "git clone" had an extra sanity check to verify the
+  presense of the corresponding *.pack file before downloading *.idx
+  file by issuing a HEAD request.  Github server however sometimes
+  gave 500 (Internal server error) response to HEAD even if a GET
+  request for *.pack file to the same URL would have succeeded, and broke
+  clone over HTTP from some of their repositories.  As a workaround, this
+  verification has been removed (as it is not absolutely necessary).
+
+* "git grep" did not like relative pathname to refer outside the current
+  directory when run from a subdirectory.
+
+* an error message from "git push" was formatted in a very ugly way.
+
+* "git svn" did not quote the subversion user name correctly when
+  running its author-prog helper program.
+
+Other minor documentation updates are included.

+=====================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-remote-helpers - Helper programs for interoperation with remote git
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git remote-<transport>' <remote>
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+These programs are normally not used directly by end users, but are
+invoked by various git programs that interact with remote repositories
+when the repository they would operate on will be accessed using
+transport code not linked into the main git binary. Various particular
+helper programs will behave as documented here.
+
+COMMANDS
+--------
+
+Commands are given by the caller on the helper's standard input, one per line.
+
+'capabilities'::
+	Lists the capabilities of the helper, one per line, ending
+	with a blank line.
+
+'list'::
+	Lists the refs, one per line, in the format "<value> <name>
+	[<attr> ...]". The value may be a hex sha1 hash, "@<dest>" for
+	a symref, or "?" to indicate that the helper could not get the
+	value of the ref. A space-separated list of attributes follows
+	the name; unrecognized attributes are ignored. After the
+	complete list, outputs a blank line.
+
+'fetch' <sha1> <name>::
+	Fetches the given object, writing the necessary objects to the
+	database. Outputs a blank line when the fetch is
+	complete. Only objects which were reported in the ref list
+	with a sha1 may be fetched this way.
++
+Supported if the helper has the "fetch" capability.
+
+If a fatal error occurs, the program writes the error message to
+stderr and exits. The caller should expect that a suitable error
+message has been printed if the child closes the connection without
+completing a valid response for the current command.
+
+Additional commands may be supported, as may be determined from
+capabilities reported by the helper.
+
+CAPABILITIES
+------------
+
+'fetch'::
+	This helper supports the 'fetch' command.
+

+
+None are defined yet, but the caller must accept any which are supplied.

 	- "zlib", the compression library. Git won't build without it.
 
-	- "openssl".  Unless you specify otherwise, you'll get the SHA1
-	  library from here.
+	- "ssh" is used to push and pull over the net.
 
-	  If you don't have openssl, you can use one of the SHA1 libraries
-	  that come with git (git includes the one from Mozilla, and has
-	  its own PowerPC and ARM optimized ones too - see the Makefile).
+	- A POSIX-compliant shell is required to run many scripts needed
+	  for everyday use (e.g. "bisect", "pull").
 
-	- libcurl library; git-http-fetch and git-fetch use them.  You
-	  might also want the "curl" executable for debugging purposes.
-	  If you do not use http transfer, you are probably OK if you
-	  do not have them.
+	- "Perl" is needed to use some of the features (e.g. preparing a
+	  partial commit using "git add -i/-p", interacting with svn
+	  repositories with "git svn").  If you can live without these, use
+	  NO_PERL.
 
-	- expat library; git-http-push uses it for remote lock
-	  management over DAV.  Similar to "curl" above, this is optional.
+	- "openssl" library is used by git-imap-send to use IMAP over SSL.
+	  If you don't need it, use NO_OPENSSL.
 
-        - "wish", the Tcl/Tk windowing shell is used in gitk to show the
-          history graphically, and in git-gui.
+	  By default, git uses OpenSSL for SHA1 but it will use it's own
+	  library (inspired by Mozilla's) with either NO_OPENSSL or
+	  BLK_SHA1.  Also included is a version optimized for PowerPC
+	  (PPC_SHA1).
+
+	- "libcurl" library is used by git-http-fetch and git-fetch.  You
+	  might also want the "curl" executable for debugging purposes.
+	  If you do not use http:// or https:// repositories, you do not
+	  have to have them (use NO_CURL).

+	- "expat" library; git-http-push uses it for remote lock
+	  management over DAV.  Similar to "curl" above, this is optional
+	  (with NO_EXPAT).
