It contains the\nfollowing fixes:\n\n - Documentation formatting updates, by Jonas Fonseca.\n\n - Fredrik Kuivinen fixed git-merge to stash away the original\n   tree state correctly when using more than one merge\n   strategy.  The same commit also adds support for baseless\n   merges.\n\n - 'git repack' can get confused if the tree had a funny\n   filename. \n\n - Specifying object name with just a short SHA1 prefix sort-of\n   worked, but did not do the right thing when ambiguities\n   existed between packed and unpacked objects; after thinking\n   about it more, I realize that the fixed code still misses\n   some ambiguities, but it is a bit better than before.\n\nOn the \"master\" branch front:\n\n - All of the above, plus the missing fix for SHA1 prefix\n   uniqueness check (to be included in 0.99.8b).\n\n - Cygwin port by H. Peter Anvin.\n\n - Option parsing in 'git pull' was buggy and could not\n   recognize the following sequence:\n\n   $ git fetch http://kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-cygwin.git/\n   $ git pull -a . fixes pull\n\n   to fetch a remote and use that head along with two other\n   local heads to create a four-head Octopus.\n"}]}
