(usability, bells and whistles)

* "--pretty=<style>" option to the log family of commands can now be
spelled as "--format=<style>". In addition, --format=%formatstring
is a short-hand for --pretty=tformat:%formatstring.

* "--oneline" is a synonym for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev=commit".

* If you realize that you botched the patch when you are editing hunks
with the 'edit' action in git-add -i/-p, you can abort the editor to
tell git not to apply it.

* git-archive learned --output=<file> option.

* git-bisect shows not just the number of remaining commits whose goodness
is unknown, but also shows the estimated number of remaining rounds.

* git-branch -r shows HEAD symref that points at a remote branch in
interest of each tracked remote repository.

* git-config learned -e option to open an editor to edit the config file
directly.

* git-format-patch can be told to use attachment with a new configuration,
format.attach.

* git-imap-send learned to work around Thunderbird's inability to easily
disable format=flowed with a new configuration, imap.preformattedHTML.

* git-rebase can be told to rebase the series even if your branch is a
descendant of the commit you are rebasing onto with --force-rebase
option.

* git-send-email learned --confirm option to review the Cc: list before
sending the messages out.

(developers)

* Test scripts can be run under valgrind.

Here are fixes that this release has, but have not been backported to
v1.6.2.X series.

* .gitignore learned to handle backslash as a quoting mechanism for
comment introduction character "#" (backport by merging dd482ee if
needed).

* timestamp output in --date=relative mode used to display timestamps that
are long time ago in the default mode; it now uses "N years M months
ago", and "N years ago" (backport by picking 10edf37 if needed).

* git-add -i/-p now works with non-ASCII pathnames (backport by picking
8851f48 if needed).

* "git hash-object -w" did not read from the configuration file from the
correct .git directory (backport by merging 272459a if needed).

* git-send-email learned to correctly handle multiple Cc: addresses
(backport by merging afe756c if needed).
