Just announced is release of Git version 1.7.2.

Scanning through the ReleaseNotes the following look interesting:

git -c var=val will override config
git show :/pattern now uses regex
git no longer squelches if it doesn’t find .git (useful when using in PS1)
git checkout --orphan name makes a new root branch (no parent)
git cherry-pick can now be given a list of refs
git log --decorate learned to colour more things
