+GIT v1.6.4.2 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.6.4.1
+--------------------
+
+* --date=relative output between 1 and 5 years ago rounded the number of
+ years when saying X years Y months ago, instead of rounding it down.
+
+* "git add -p" did not handle changes in executable bits correctly
+ (a regression around 1.6.3).
+
+* "git apply" did not honor GNU diff's convention to mark the creation/deletion
+ event with UNIX epoch timestamp on missing side.
+
+* "git checkout" incorrectly removed files in a directory pointed by a
+ symbolic link during a branch switch that replaces a directory with
+ a symbolic link.
+
+* "git clean -d -f" happily descended into a subdirectory that is managed by a
+ separate git repository. It now requires two -f options for safety.
+
+* "git fetch/push" over http transports had two rather grave bugs.
+
+* "git format-patch --cover-letter" did not prepare the cover letter file
+ for use with non-ASCII strings when there are the series contributors with
+ non-ASCII names.
+
+* "git pull origin branch" and "git fetch origin && git merge origin/branch"
+ left different merge messages in the resulting commit.
+
+Other minor documentation updates are included.

(subsystems)
+ * various updates to git-svn and gitweb.
+
(portability)
+ * more improvements on mingw port.
+
(performance)
+ * On major platforms, the system can be compiled to use with Linus's
+ block-sha1 implementation of the SHA-1 hash algorithm, which
+ outperforms the default fallback implementation we borrowed from
+ Mozzilla.
+
(usability, bells and whistles)
+ * refs/replace/ hierarchy is designed to be usable as a replacement
+ of the "grafts" mechanism, with the added advantage that it can be
+ transferred across repositories.
+
+ * "git am" learned to optionally ignore whitespace differences.
+
+ * "git am" handles input e-mail files that has CRLF line endings sensibly.
+
+ * "git commit --dry-run $args" is a new recommended way to ask "what would
+ happen if I try to commit with these arguments."
+
+ * "git cvsimport" now supports password-protected pserver access.
+
+ * "git fast-export" learned --no-data option that can be useful when
+ reordering commits and trees without touching the contents of
+ blobs.
+
+ * "git init" learned to mkdir/chdir into a directory when given an
+ extra argument (i.e. "git init this").
+
+ * "git instaweb" optionally can use mongoose as the web server.
+
+ * "git log --decorate" can optionally be told with --decorate=full to
+ give the reference name in full.
+
+ * "git push" can be told to be --quiet.
+
+ * informational output from "git reset" that lists the locally modified
+ paths is made consistent with that of "git checkout $another_branch".
+
+ * "git status" gives more descriptive output for unmerged paths.
+
+ * "git submodule" learned to give submodule name to scripts run with
+ "foreach" subcommand.
+
+ * various subcommands to "git submodule" learned --recursive option.
+
+ * "git submodule summary" learned --files option to compare the work
+ tree vs the commit bound at submodule path, instead of comparing
+ the index.
+
(developers)
+ * With GIT_TEST_OPTS="--root=/p/a/t/h", tests can be run outside the
+ source directory; using tmpfs may give faster turnaround.

+----------------
+
+After upload-pack successfully finishes its operation, this hook is called
+for logging purposes.
+
+The hook is passed various pieces of information, one per line, from its
+standard input. Currently the following items can be fed to the hook, but
+more types of information may be added in the future:
+
+want SHA-1::
+ 40-byte hexadecimal object name the client asked to include in the
+ resulting pack. Can occur one or more times in the input.
+
+have SHA-1::
+ 40-byte hexadecimal object name the client asked to exclude from
+ the resulting pack, claiming to have them already. Can occur zero
+ or more times in the input.
+
+time float::
+ Number of seconds spent for creating the packfile.
+
+size decimal::
+ Size of the resulting packfile in bytes.
+
+kind string:
+ Either "clone" (when the client did not give us any "have", and asked
+ for all our refs with "want"), or "fetch" (otherwise).
