43
45
-Looked reasonable.
44
+Per Linus's strong suggestion, sugarcoated (aka "taking blame for the
45
+original UI screw-ups") so that it is easier for me to swallow and accept
46
+a potentially huge backward incompatibility issue, "git merge" is made to
47
+launch an editor to explain the merge in the merge commit by default in
48
+interactive sessions.

+ + archive: re-allow HEAD:Documentation on a remote invocation
62
+
63
+Running "git archive" remotely and asking for a partial tree of a ref,
64
+e.g. HEAD:$path was forbidden by a recent change to tighten security, but
65
+was found to be overly restrictive.

77
+the "refs/heads/" hierarchy.
