Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to
105
v1.6.2.X series.
106
107
+* "git diff --pickaxe-regexp" did not count overlapping matches
108
+ correctly (backport by cherry-picking 50fd699).
109

110
+* "git-fetch" in a repository that was not cloned from anywhere said
111
+ it cannot find 'origin', which was hard to understand for new people.
112
+
113
+* git-gc spent excessive amount of time to decide if an object appears
114
+ in a locally existing pack (if needed, backport by merging 69e020a).
115
+
116
+* "git-ls-files --deleted" did not work well with GIT_DIR&GIT_WORK_TREE
117
+ (backport by cherry-picking 8ad3dae).
118
+
119
+* "git-read-tree A B C..." without -m option has been broken for a long time
120
+ (backport by merging jc/maint-1.6.0-read-tree-overlay)

122
* 'git-submodule add' did not tolerate extra slashes and ./ in the
123
path it accepted from the command line; it now is more lenient
