A release candidate Git 1.7.8-rc4 is available for testing. This hopefully is the last rc before the final release (we had to make a last-minute UI tweak to a new feature in multi-step "revert" command to avoid later regrets). We already have interesting topics queued together with proposed fixes for older non-regression bugs which would make the next cycle short, sweet and fun.
