Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to
173
v1.6.2.X series.
174
175
+* "git-apply" rejected a patch that swaps two files (i.e. renames A to B
176
+ and B to A at the same time). May need to be backported by cherry
177
+ picking d8c81df and then 7fac0ee).

* The initial checkout did not read the attributes from the .gitattribute
180
file that is being checked out.
181
162
-* "git-checkout <tree-ish> <submodule>" did not update the index entry at
163
- the named path; it now does.
164
-
182
* git-gc spent excessive amount of time to decide if an object appears
183
in a locally existing pack (if needed, backport by merging 69e020a).
184
168
-* "git-ls-tree" and "git-diff-tree" used a pathspec correctly when
169
- deciding to descend into a subdirectory but they did not match the
170
- individual paths correctly. This caused pathspecs "abc/d ab" to match
171
- "abc/0" ("abc/d" made them decide to descend into the directory "abc/",
172
- and then "ab" incorrectly matched "abc/0" when it shouldn't).
173
-
174
-* "git-merge-recursive" was broken when a submodule entry was involved in
175
- a criss-cross merge situation.
