+Git v1.7.0.3 Release Notes (draft)
+==================================
+
+Fixes since v1.7.0.2
+--------------------
+
+ * Object files are created in a more ACL friendly way in repositories
+   where group permission is ACL controlled.
+
+ * "git add -i" didn't handle a deleted path very well.
+
+ * "git fetch --all/--multi" used to discard information for remotes that
+   are fetched earlier.
+
+ * "git log --author=me --grep=it" tried to find commits that have "it"
+   or are written by "me", instead of the ones that have "it" _and_ are
+   written by "me".
+
+ * "git mailinfo" (hence "git am") incorrectly removed initial indent from
+   paragraphs.
+
+ * "git prune" and "git reflog" (hence "git gc" as well) didn't honor
+   an instruction never to expire by setting gc.reflogexpire to never.
+
+ * "git push" misbehaved when branch.<name>.merge was configured without
+   matching branch.<name>.remote.
+
+And other minor fixes and documentation updates.

+Git v1.7.1 Release Notes (draft)
+================================
 
 Updates since v1.7.0
 --------------------
 
+ * "git cvsimport" learned -R option to leave revision mapping between
+   CVS revisions and resulting git commits.
+
+ * "git for-each-ref" learned %(symref), %(symref:short) and %(flag)
+   tokens.
+
  * "git grep" learned "--no-index" option, to search inside contents that
    are not managed by git.
 
+ * "git grep" learned --color=auto/always/never.
+
+ * "git hash-object --stdin-paths" can take "--no-filters" option now.
+
+ * "git request-pull" identifies the commit the request is relative to in
+   a more readable way.
+
+ * "git svn" should work better when interacting with repositories
+   with CRLF line endings.
+
+ * "git imap-send" learned to support CRAM-MD5 authentication.
