This saves one HTTP RPC, reducing the overall\n   latency for a trivial fetch.\n\n * \"git fetch\" can be told to recursively fetch submodules on-demand.\n\n * \"git grep -f <filename>\" learned to treat \"-\" as \"read from the\n   standard input stream\".\n\n * \"git grep --no-index\" did not honor pathspecs correctly, returning\n   paths outside the specified area.\n\n * \"git init\" learned the --separate-git-dir option to allow the git\n   directory for a new repository created elsewhere and linked via the\n   gitdir mechanism. This is primarily to help submodule support later\n   to switch between a branch of superproject that has the submodule\n   and another that does not.\n\n * \"git log\" type commands now understand globbing pathspecs.  You\n   can say \"git log -- '*.txt'\" for example.\n\n * \"git log\" family of commands learned --cherry and --cherry-mark\n   options that can be used to view two diverged branches while omitting\n   or highlighting equivalent changes that appear on both sides of a\n   symmetric difference (e.g. \"log --cherry A...B\").\n\n * A lazy \"git merge\" that didn't say what to merge used to be an error.\n   When run on a branch that has an upstream defined, however, the command\n   now merges from the configured upstream.\n\n * \"git mergetool\" learned how to drive \"beyond compare 3\" as well.\n\n * \"git rerere forget\" without pathspec used to forget all the saved\n   conflicts that relate to the current merge; it now requires you to\n   give it pathspecs.\n\n * \"git rev-list --objects $revs -- $pathspec\" now limits the objects listed\n   in its output properly with the pathspec, in preparation for narrow\n   clones.\n\n * \"git push\" with no parameters gives better advice messages when\n   \"tracking\" is used as the push.default semantics or there is no remote\n   configured yet.\n\n * A possible value to the \"push.default\" configuration variable,\n   'tracking', gained a synonym that more naturally describes what it\n   does, 'upstream'.\n\n * \"git rerere\" learned a new subcommand \"remaining\" that is similar to\n   \"status\" and lists the paths that had conflicts which are known to\n   rerere, but excludes the paths that have already been marked as\n   resolved in the index from its output.  \"git mergetool\" has been\n   updated to use this facility.\n\nAlso contains various documentation updates.\n\n\nFixes since v1.7.4\n------------------\n\nAll of the fixes in the v1.7.4.X maintenance series are included in this\nrelease, unless otherwise noted.\n\n * \"git fetch\" from a client that is mostly following the remote\n   needlessly told all of its refs to the server for both sides to\n   compute the set of objects that need to be transferred efficiently,\n   instead of stopping when the server heard enough. In a project with\n   many tags, this turns out to be extremely wasteful, especially over\n   the smart HTTP transport (sp/maint-{upload,fetch}-pack-stop-early~1).\n\n * \"git fetch\" run from a repository that uses the same repository as\n   its alternate object store as the repository it is fetching from\n   did not tell the server that it already has access to objects\n   reachable from the refs in their common alternate object store,\n   causing it to fetch unnecessary objects (jc/maint-fetch-alt).\n\n * \"git remote add --mirror\" created a configuration that is suitable for\n   doing both a mirror fetch and a mirror push at the same time, which\n   made little sense.  We now warn and require the command line to specify\n   either --mirror=fetch or --mirror=push.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nChanges since v1.7.5-rc0 are as
