 Updates since v1.7.0
 --------------------
 
+ * Eric Raymond is the maintainer of updated CIAbot scripts, in contrib/.
+
+ * Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively ask
+   for a password can be told to use an external program given via
+   GIT_ASKPASS.
+
+ * Conflict markers that lead the common ancestor in diff3-style output
+   now have a label, which hopefully would help third-party tools that
+   expect one.
+
+ * Comes with an updated bash-completion script.
+
+ * "git am" learned "--keep-cr" option to handle inputs that are
+   a mixture of changes to files with and without CRLF line endings.
+
  * "git cvsimport" learned -R option to leave revision mapping between
    CVS revisions and resulting git commits.
 
+ * "git diff --submodule" notices and describes dirty submodules.
+
  * "git for-each-ref" learned %(symref), %(symref:short) and %(flag)
    tokens.
 
+ * "git hash-object --stdin-paths" can take "--no-filters" option now.
+
+ * "git init" can be told to look at init.templatedir configuration
+   variable (obviously that has to come from either /etc/gitconfig or
+   $HOME/.gitconfig).
+
  * "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 grep" learned to paint filename and line-number in colors.
+
+ * "git log -p --first-parent -m" shows one-parent diff for merge
+   commits, instead of showing combined diff.
+
+ * "git merge-file" learned to use custom conflict marker size and also
+   to use the "union merge" behaviour.
+
+ * "git notes" command has been rewritten in C and learned many commands
+   and features to help you carry notes forward across rebases and amends.
 
  * "git request-pull" identifies the commit the request is relative to in
    a more readable way.
 
+ * "git reset" learned "--keep" option that lets you discard commits
+   near the tip while preserving your local changes in a way similar
+   to how "git checkout branch" does.
+
+ * "git status" notices and describes dirty submodules.
+
  * "git svn" should work better when interacting with repositories
    with CRLF line endings.

 All of the fixes in v1.7.0.X maintenance series are included in this
 release, unless otherwise noted.
 
+ * "git add frotz/nitfol" did not complain when the entire frotz/ directory
+   was ignored.
+
+ * "git rev-list --pretty=oneline" didn't terminate a record with LF for
+   commits without any message.
+
+ * "git rev-list --abbrev-commit" defaulted to 40-byte abbreviations, unlike
+   newer tools in the git toolset.
