+Git v1.7.7.5 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Fixes since v1.7.7.4
+--------------------
+
+ * After fetching from a remote that has very long refname, the reporting
+   output could have corrupted by overrunning a static buffer.
+
+ * "git checkout" and "git merge" treated in-tree .gitignore and exclude
+   file in $GIT_DIR/info/ directory inconsistently when deciding which
+   untracked files are ignored and expendable.
+
+Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
