+Git v1.7.4 Release Notes (draft)
+================================
+
+Updates since v1.7.3
+--------------------
+
+ * The option parsers of various commands that create new branch (or
+   rename existing ones to a new name) were too loose and users were
+   allowed to call a branch with a name that begins with a dash by
+   creative abuse of their command line options, which only lead to
+   burn themselves.  The name of a branch cannot begin with a dash
+   now.
+
+ * System-wide fallback default attributes can be stored in
+   /etc/gitattributes; core.attributesfile configuration variable can
+   be used to customize the path to this file.
+
+ * "git diff" and "git grep" learned how functions and subroutines
+   in Fortran look like.
+
+ * "git log -G<pattern>" limits the output to commits whose change has
+   added or deleted lines that match the given pattern.
+
+ * "git read-tree" with no argument as a way to empty the index is
+   deprecated; we might want to remove it in the future.  Users can
+   use the new --empty option to be more explicit instead.
+
+ * "git merge --log" used to limit the resulting merge log to 20
+   entries; this is now customizable by giving e.g. "--log=47".
+
+ * you can extend "git shell", which is often used on boxes that allow
+   git-only login over ssh as login shell, with custom set of
+   commands.
+
+Also contains various documentation updates.
+
+
+Fixes since v1.7.3
+------------------
+
+All of the fixes in v1.7.3.X maintenance series are included in this
+release, unless otherwise noted.
+
+ * "git log --author=me --author=her" did not find commits written by
+   me or by her; instead it looked for commits written by me and by
+   her, which is impossible.

 SYNOPSIS
 --------
-'$(git --exec-path)/git-shell' -c <command> <argument>
+'git shell' [-c <command> <argument>]
 
 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
-This is meant to be used as a login shell for SSH accounts you want
-to restrict to GIT pull/push access only. It permits execution only
-of server-side GIT commands implementing the pull/push functionality.
-The commands can be executed only by the '-c' option; the shell is not
-interactive.
-
-Currently, only four commands are permitted to be called, 'git-receive-pack'
-'git-upload-pack' and 'git-upload-archive' with a single required argument, or
-'cvs server' (to invoke 'git-cvsserver').
+
+A login shell for SSH accounts to provide restricted Git access. When
+'-c' is given, the program executes <command> non-interactively;
+<command> can be one of 'git receive-pack', 'git upload-pack', 'git
+upload-archive', 'cvs server', or a command in COMMAND_DIR. The shell
+is started in interactive mode when no arguments are given; in this
+case, COMMAND_DIR must exist, and any of the executables in it can be
+invoked.
+
+'cvs server' is a special command which executes git-cvsserver.
+
+COMMAND_DIR is the path "$HOME/git-shell-commands". The user must have
+read and execute permissions to the directory in order to execute the
+programs in it. The programs are executed with a cwd of $HOME, and
+<argument> is parsed as a command-line string.

+sigchain API
+============
+
+Code often wants to set a signal handler to clean up temporary files or
+other work-in-progress when we die unexpectedly. For multiple pieces of
+code to do this without conflicting, each piece of code must remember
+the old value of the handler and restore it either when:
+
+  1. The work-in-progress is finished, and the handler is no longer
+     necessary. The handler should revert to the original behavior
+     (either another handler, SIG_DFL, or SIG_IGN).
+
+  2. The signal is received. We should then do our cleanup, then chain
+     to the next handler (or die if it is SIG_DFL).
+
+Sigchain is a tiny library for keeping a stack of handlers. Your handler
+and installation code should look something like:
+
+------------------------------------------
+  void clean_foo_on_signal(int sig)
+  {
+	  clean_foo();
+	  sigchain_pop(sig);
+	  raise(sig);
+  }
+
+  void other_func()
+  {
+	  sigchain_push_common(clean_foo_on_signal);
+	  mess_up_foo();
+	  clean_foo();
+  }
+------------------------------------------
+
+Handlers are given the typdef of sigchain_fun. This is the same type
+that is given to signal() or sigaction(). It is perfectly reasonable to
+push SIG_DFL or SIG_IGN onto the stack.
+
+You can sigchain_push and sigchain_pop individual signals. For
+convenience, sigchain_push_common will push the handler onto the stack
+for many common signals.

+Sample programs callable through git-shell.  Place a directory named
+'git-shell-commands' in the home directory of a user whose shell is
+git-shell.  Then anyone logging in as that user will be able to run
+executables in the 'git-shell-commands' directory.
+
+Provided commands:
+
+help: Prints out the names of available commands.  When run
+interactively, git-shell will automatically run 'help' on startup,
+provided it exists.
+
+list: Displays any bare repository whose name ends with ".git" under
+user's home directory.  No other git repositories are visible,
+although they might be clonable through git-shell.  'list' is designed
+to minimize the number of calls to git that must be made in finding
+available repositories; if your setup has additional repositories that
+should be user-discoverable, you may wish to modify 'list'
+accordingly.

+	    justice and holiness and is the nurse of his age and the
+	    companion of his journey;--hope which is mightiest to sway
+	    the restless soul of man.
+
+	How admirable are his words!  And the great blessing of riches, I do
+	not say to every man, but to a good man, is, that he has had no
+	occasion to deceive or to defraud others, either intentionally or
+	unintentionally; and when he departs to the world below he is not in
+	any apprehension about offerings due to the gods or debts which he owes
+	to men.  Now to this peace of mind the possession of wealth greatly
+	contributes; and therefore I say, that, setting one thing against
+	another, of the many advantages which wealth has to give, to a man of
+	sense this is in my opinion the greatest.
+
+	Well said, Cephalus, I replied; but as concerning justice, what is
+	it?--to speak the truth and to pay your debts--no more than this?  And
+	even to this are there not exceptions?  Suppose that a friend when in
+	his right mind has deposited arms with me and he asks for them when he
+	is not in his right mind, ought I to give them back to him?  No one
+	would say that I ought or that I should be right in doing so, any more
+	than they would say that I ought always to speak the truth to one who
+	is in his condition.
+
+	You are quite right, he replied.
+
+	But then, I said, speaking the truth and paying your debts is not a
+	correct definition of justice.
+
+	CEPHALUS - SOCRATES - POLEMARCHUS
+
+	Quite correct, Socrates, if Simonides is to be believed, said
+	Polemarchus interposing.
+
+	I fear, said Cephalus, that I must go now, for I have to look after the
+	sacrifices, and I hand over the argument to Polemarchus and the company.
