 Fixes since v1.7.10
 -------------------
 
  * "git add -p" is not designed to deal with unmerged paths but did
    not exclude them and tried to apply funny patches only to fail.
 
+ * "git blame" started missing quite a few changes from the origin
+   since we stopped using the diff minimalization by default in v1.7.2
+   era.
+
  * When PATH contains an unreadable directory, alias expansion code
    did not kick in, and failed with an error that said "git-subcmd"
    was not found.

  * Rename detection logic used to match two empty files as renames
    during merge-recursive, leading to unnatural mismerges.
 
+ * The parser in "fast-import" did not diagnose ":9" style references
+   that is not followed by required SP/LF as an error.
+
+ * When "git fetch" encounters repositories with too many references,
+   the command line of "fetch-pack" that is run by a helper
+   e.g. remote-curl, may fail to hold all of them. Now such an
+   internal invocation can feed the references through the standard
+   input of "fetch-pack".
+
+ * "git fetch" that recurses into submodules on demand did not check
+   if it needs to go into submodules when non branches (most notably,
+   tags) are fetched.
+
+ * "log -p --graph" used with "--stat" had a few formatting error.
+
  * Running "notes merge --commit" failed to perform correctly when run
    from any directory inside $GIT_DIR/.  When "notes merge" stops with
    conflicts, $GIT_DIR/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE is the place a user edits
