7* .gitignore learned to handle backslash as a quoting mechanism for
8 comment introduction character "#".
9 This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.1.

11* "git fast-export" produced wrong output with some parents missing from
12 commits, when the history is clock-skewed.
13
14* "git fast-import" sometimes failed to read back objects it just wrote
15 out and aborted, because it failed to flush stale cached data.
16

17* "git-ls-tree" and "git-diff-tree" used a pathspec correctly when
18 deciding to descend into a subdirectory but they did not match the
19 individual paths correctly. This caused pathspecs "abc/d ab" to match
20 "abc/0" ("abc/d" made them decide to descend into the directory "abc/",
21 and then "ab" incorrectly matched "abc/0" when it shouldn't).
22 This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.3.
23
24* import-zips script (in contrib) did not compute the common directory
25 prefix correctly.
26 This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.2.
27
28* "git init" segfaulted when given an overlong template location via
29 the --template= option.
30 This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.4.
31

32* "git repack" did not error out when necessary object was missing in the
33 repository.
34

JH
35* git-repack (invoked from git-gc) did not work as nicely as it should in
36 a repository that borrows objects from neighbours via alternates
37 mechanism especially when some packs are marked with the ".keep" flag
38 to prevent them from being repacked.
39 This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.3.
