+GIT v1.6.4.1 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.6.4
+------------------
+
+ * An unquoted value in the configuration file, when it contains more than
+ one whitespaces in a row, got them replaced with a single space.
+
+ * "git am" used to accept a single piece of e-mail per file (not a mbox)
+ as its input, but multiple input format support in v1.6.4 broke it.
+ Apparently many people have been depending on this feature.
+
+ * The short help text for "git filter-branch" command was a single long
+ line, wrapped by terminals, and was hard to read.
+
+ * The "recursive" strategy of "git merge" segfaulted when a merge has
+ more than one merge-bases, and merging of these merge-bases involves
+ a rename/rename or a rename/add conflict.
+
+ * "git pull --rebase" did not use the right fork point when the
+ repository has already fetched from the upstream that rewinds the
+ branch it is based on in an earlier fetch.
+
+ * Explain the concept of fast-forward more fully in "git push"
+ documentation, and hint to refer to it from an error message when the
+ command refuses an update to protect the user.
+
+ * The default value for pack.deltacachesize, used by "git repack", is now
+ 256M, instead of unbounded. Otherwise a repack of a moderately sized
+ repository would needlessly eat into swap.
+
+ * Document how "git repack" (hence "git gc") interacts with a repository
+ that borrows its objects from other repositories (e.g. ones created by
+ "git clone -s").
+
+ * "git show" on an annotated tag lacked a delimiting blank line between
+ the tag itself and the contents of the object it tags.
+
+ * "git verify-pack -v" erroneously reported number of objects with too
+ deep delta depths as "chain length 0" objects.
+
+ * Long names of authors and committers outside US-ASCII were sometimes
+ incorrectly shown in "gitweb".
+
+Other minor documentation updates are included.
