 Updates since v1.6.0
 --------------------
 
+When some commands (e.g. "git log", "git diff") spawn pager internally, we
+used to make the pager the parent process of the git command that produces
+output.  This meant that the exit status of the whole thing comes from the
+pager, not the underlying git command.  We swapped the order of the
+processes around and you will see the exit code from the command from now
+on.

-* ...
+* The underlying diff machinery to produce textual output has been
+  optimized, which would result in faster "git blame" processing.
 
 (usability, bells and whistles)
 
-* ...
+* "git checkout --track origin/hack" used to be a syntax error.  It now
+  DWIMs to create a corresponding local branch "hack", i.e. acts as if you
+  said "git checkout --track -b hack origin/hack".

+* "git diff" learned to mimick --suppress-blank-empty from GNU diff via a
+  configuration option.

+(internal)
 
+* "git hash-object" learned to lie about the path being hashed, so that
+  correct gitattributes processing can be done while hashing contents
+  stored in a temporary file.
