The latest feature release Git 1.7.5 is available at the usual
places:

Great! Thank you for this new release. Btw, I've some questions, sorry
if these seem like frivolous or stupid questions.

 * The codebase is getting prepared for i18n/l10n; no translated

Where are pot files for Git and Gitweb?

Actually only programs in C and shell scripts are prepared for
translation.  Currently there is no infrastructure for translating
scripts implemented in Perl... including Git.pm module and gitweb.

 * "git checkout --detach <commit>" is a more user friendly synonym for
   "git checkout <commit>^0".

What is the interest?

What do you mean?  "git checkout <commit>^0" is quite cryptic way to
detach HEAD, and requires deeper knowledge of Git... though I am not
sure why somebody not knowledgeable in Git might want to detach HEAD
explicitly at given commmit / branch.

 * "git checkout" performed on detached HEAD gives a warning and
   advice when the commit being left behind will become unreachable from
   any branch or tag.

No sure to understand, it's not already the case?

It is reworked to show warning and advice only when it is really
needed.
