I've just noticed that the following git-gui fixes haven't been merged in 1.6.2:

  git-gui: Support more git version notations.
  git-gui: Avoid an infinite rescan loop in handle_empty_diff.
  git-gui: Fix post-commit status with subject in non-locale encoding

The second one is a fix for a rather important problem reported on the msysgit list. The last one is msysgit bug #181.
