+I'm planning to tag 1.7.11-rc2 tomorrow or Friday (we have slipped
+by one week). Please concentrate on testing, finding and fixing
+regressions introduced after 1.7.10 until 1.7.11 final.

-When "git rebase" was given a bad commit to replay the history on,
-its error message did not correctly give the command line argument
-it had trouble parsing.
+"git merge anno" created a merge commit even when anno is an
+unsigned annotated tag that points at a commit that can be fast
+forwarded to; this came from a laziness of the implementation of
+merging of signed tags in 1.7.9, and can be worked around by saying
+"git merge --ff-only anno", so it is not really necessariy, but is
+here for completeness.
