9

10
+ * Color values given to "color.<cmd>.<slot>" configuration can now have
11
+ more than one attributes (e.g. "bold ul").
12
+
13
+ * "git apply --whitespace=fix" didn't work well when an early patch in
14
+ a patch series adds trailing blank lines and a later one depended on
15
+ such a block of blank lines at the end.
16
+
17
+ * "git am" learned "--keep-cr" option to handle inputs that are
18
+ mixture of changes to files with and without CRLF line endings.

21
CVS revisions and resulting git commits.

24
tokens.

27
+

29
+ variable (obviously that has to come from either /etc/gitconfig or
30
+ $HOME/.gitconfig).
31
+
32
* "git grep" learned "--no-index" option, to search inside contents that
33
are not managed by git.

+ * "git merge-file" learned to use custom conflict marker size and also use
40
+ the "union merge" behaviour.
41
+
42
+ * "git notes" command has been rewritten in C and learned quite a
43
+ many commands.

46
a more readable way.
47
48
+ * "git reset" learned "--keep" option that lets you discard commits
49
+ near the tip while preserving your local changes in a way similar
50

with CRLF line endings.
