+GIT v1.6.1.1 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.6.1
+------------------
+
+* "git add frotz/nitfol" when "frotz" is a submodule should have errored
+  out, but it didn't.
+
+* "git apply" took file modes from the patch text and updated the mode
+  bits of the target tree even when the patch was not about mode changes.
+
+* "git bisect view" on Cygwin did not launch gitk
+
+* "git checkout $tree" did not trigger an error.
+
+* "git commit" tried to remove COMMIT_EDITMSG from the work tree by mistake.
+
+* "git describe --all" complained when a commit is described with a tag,
+  which was nonsense.
+
+* "git diff --no-index --" did not trigger no-index (aka "use git-diff as
+  a replacement of diff on untracked files") behaviour.
+
+* "git format-patch -1 HEAD" on a root commit failed to produce patch
+  text.
+
+* "git fsck branch" did not work as advertised; instead it behaved the same
+  way as "git fsck".
+
+* "git log --pretty=format:%s" did not handle a multi-line subject the
+  same way as built-in log listers (i.e. shortlog, --pretty=oneline, etc.)
+
+* "git daemon", and "git merge-file" are more careful when freopen fails
+  and barf, instead of going on and writing to unopened filehandle.
+
+* "git http-push" did not like some RFC 4918 compliant DAV server
+  responses.
+
+* "git merge -s recursive" mistakenly overwritten an untracked file in the
+  work tree upon delete/modify conflict.
+
+* "git merge -s recursive" didn't leave the index unmerged for entries with
+  rename/delete conflictd.
+
+* "git merge -s recursive" clobbered untracked files in the work tree.
+
+* "git mv -k" with more than one errorneous paths misbehaved.
+
+* "git read-tree -m -u" hence branch switching incorrectly lost a
+  subdirectory in rare cases.
+
+* "git rebase -i" issued an unnecessary error message upon a user error of
+  marking the first commit to be "squash"ed.
+
+* "git shortlog" did not format a commit message with multi-line
+  subject correctly.
+
+Many documentation updates.

+GIT v1.6.2 Release Notes
+========================
+
+Updates since v1.6.1
+--------------------
+
+(subsystems)
+
+(portability)
+
+(performance)
+
+* pack-objects autodetects the number of CPUs available and uses threaded
+  version.
+
+(usability, bells and whistles)
+
+* "git-add -p" learned 'g'oto action to jump directly to a hunk.
+
+* git-cherry defaults to HEAD when the <upstream> argument is not given.
+
+* git-cvsserver can be told not to add extra "via git-CVS emulator" to the
+  commit log message it serves via gitcvs.commitmsgannotation configuration.
+
+* git-diff learned a new option --inter-hunk-context to coalesce close
+  hunks together and show context between them.
+
+* git-filter-branch learned --prune-empty option that discards commits
+  that do not change the contents.
+
+* git-ls-tree learned --full-tree option that shows the path in full
+  regardless of where in the work tree hierarchy the command was started.
+
+* git-mergetool learned -y(--no-prompt) option to disable prompting.
+
+* "git-reset --merge" is a new mode that works similar to the way
+  "git checkout" switches branches, taking the local changes while
+  switching to another commit.
+
+(internal)
+
+
+Fixes since v1.6.1
+------------------
+
+All of the fixes in v1.6.1.X maintenance series are included in this
+release, unless otherwise noted.
+
+* "git-add sub/file" when sub is a submodule incorrectly added the path to
+  the superproject.
+
+* git-bundle did not exclude annotated tags even when a range given from the
+  command line wanted to.
+
+* git-grep did not work correctly for index entries with assume-unchanged bit.
+
+* branch switching and merges had a silly bug that did not validate
+  the correct directory when making sure an existing subdirectory is
+  clean.

+If a file `.mailmap` exists at the toplevel of the repository,
+it is used to map an author email address to a canonical real name. This
+can be used to coalesce together commits by the same person where their
+name was spelled differently (whether with the same email address or
+not).
+
+Each line in the file consists, in this order, of the canonical real name
+of an author, whitespace, and an email address (enclosed by '<' and '>')
+to map to the name. Use hash '#' for comments, either on their own line,
+or after the email address.
+
+A canonical name may appear in more than one line, associated with
+different email addresses, but it doesn't make sense for a given address
+to appear more than once (if that happens, a later line overrides the
+earlier ones).
+
+So, for example, if your history contains commits by two authors, Jane
+and Joe, whose names appear in the repository under several forms:

+Then, supposing Joe wants his middle name initial used, and Jane prefers
+her family name fully spelled out, a proper `.mailmap` file would look like:
+
+------------
+# Note how we don't need an entry for <jane@laptop.(none)>, because the
+# real name of that author is correct already, and coalesced directly.
+Jane Doe <jane@desktop.(none)>

+===============

+NAME
+----
+git-difftool - compare changes using common merge tools
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git difftool' [--tool=<tool>] [--no-prompt] ['git diff' options]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+'git-difftool' is a git command that allows you to compare and edit files
+between revisions using common merge tools.  At its most basic level,
+'git-difftool' does what 'git-mergetool' does but its use is for non-merge
+situations such as when preparing commits or comparing changes against
+the index.
+
+'git difftool' is a frontend to 'git diff' and accepts the same
+arguments and options.
+
+See linkgit:git-diff[1] for the full list of supported options.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-t <tool>::
+--tool=<tool>::
+	Use the merge resolution program specified by <tool>.
+	Valid merge tools are:
+	kdiff3, tkdiff, meld, xxdiff, emerge, vimdiff, gvimdiff, ecmerge, and opendiff
++
+If a merge resolution program is not specified, 'git-difftool'
+will use the configuration variable `merge.tool`.  If the
+configuration variable `merge.tool` is not set, 'git difftool'
+will pick a suitable default.
++
+You can explicitly provide a full path to the tool by setting the
+configuration variable `mergetool.<tool>.path`. For example, you
+can configure the absolute path to kdiff3 by setting
+`mergetool.kdiff3.path`. Otherwise, 'git-difftool' assumes the
+tool is available in PATH.
++
+Instead of running one of the known merge tool programs,
+'git-difftool' can be customized to run an alternative program
+by specifying the command line to invoke in a configuration
+variable `mergetool.<tool>.cmd`.
++
+When 'git-difftool' is invoked with this tool (either through the
+`-t` or `--tool` option or the `merge.tool` configuration variable)
+the configured command line will be invoked with the following
+variables available: `$LOCAL` is set to the name of the temporary
+file containing the contents of the diff pre-image and `$REMOTE`
+is set to the name of the temporary file containing the contents
+of the diff post-image.  `$BASE` is provided for compatibility
+with custom merge tool commands and has the same value as `$LOCAL`.
+
+--no-prompt::
+	Do not prompt before launching a diff tool.
+
+CONFIG VARIABLES
+----------------
+merge.tool::
+	The default merge tool to use.
++
+See the `--tool=<tool>` option above for more details.
+
+merge.keepBackup::
+	The original, unedited file content can be saved to a file with
+	a `.orig` extension.  Defaults to `true` (i.e. keep the backup files).
+
+mergetool.<tool>.path::
+	Override the path for the given tool.  This is useful in case
+	your tool is not in the PATH.
+
+mergetool.<tool>.cmd::
+	Specify the command to invoke the specified merge tool.
++
+See the `--tool=<tool>` option above for more details.
+
+
+SEE ALSO
+--------
+linkgit:git-diff[1]::
+	 Show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc
+
+linkgit:git-mergetool[1]::
+	Run merge conflict resolution tools to resolve merge conflicts
+
+linkgit:git-config[1]::
+	 Get and set repository or global options
