+Git v1.7.7.2 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.7.7.1
+--------------------
+
+ * We used to drop error messages from libcurl on certain kinds of
+   errors.
+
+ * Error report from smart HTTP transport, when the connection was
+   broken in the middle of a transfer, showed a useless message on
+   a corrupt packet.
+
+ * "git fetch --prune" was unsafe when used with refspecs from the
+   command line.
+
+ * The attribute mechanism did not use case insensitive match when
+   core.ignorecase was set.
+
+ * "git bisect" did not notice when it failed to update the working tree
+   to the next commit to be tested.
+
+ * "git config --bool --get-regexp" failed to separate the variable name
+   and its value "true" when the variable is defined without "= true".
+
+ * "git remote rename $a $b" were not careful to match the remote name
+   against $a (i.e. source side of the remote nickname).
+
+ * "git mergetool" did not use its arguments as pathspec, but as a path to
+   the file that may not even have any conflict.
+
+ * "git diff --[num]stat" used to use the number of lines of context
+   different from the default, potentially giving different results from
+   "git diff | diffstat" and confusing the users.
+
+ * "git pull" and "git rebase" did not work well even when GIT_WORK_TREE is
+   set correctly with GIT_DIR if the current directory is outside the working
+   tree.
+
+ * "git send-email" did not honor the configured hostname when restarting
+   the HELO/EHLO exchange after switching TLS on.
+
+ * "gitweb" used to produce a non-working link while showing the contents
+   of a blob, when JavaScript actions are enabled.
