| GIT v1.6.2.1 Release Notes | 
 | ========================== | 
 |  | 
 | Fixes since v1.6.2 | 
 | ------------------ | 
 |  | 
 | * .gitignore learned to handle backslash as a quoting mechanism for | 
 |   comment introduction character "#". | 
 |  | 
 | * 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". | 
 |  | 
 | * git-add -i/-p now works with non-ASCII pathnames. | 
 |  | 
 | * "git hash-object -w" did not read from the configuration file from the | 
 |   correct .git directory. | 
 |  | 
 | * git-send-email learned to correctly handle multiple Cc: addresses. |
