+ * Coloring around octopus merges in "log --graph" output was screwy.
248
+ (merge 339c17b hn/log-graph-color-octopus later to maint).

250
+ * "git checkout topic", when there is not yet a local "topic" branch
251
+ but there is a unique remote-tracking branch for a remote "topic"
252
+ branch, pretended as if "git checkout -t -b topic remote/$r/topic"
253
+ (for that unique remote $r) was run. This hack however was not
254
+ implemented for "git checkout topic --".
255

257
+ * One long-standing flaw in the pack transfer protocol used by "git
258
+ clone" was that there was no way to tell the other end which branch
259
+ "HEAD" points at, and the receiving end needed to guess. A new
260
+ capability has been defined in the pack protocol to convey this
261
+ information so that cloning from a repository with more than one
262
+ branches pointing at the same commit where the HEAD is at now
263
+ reliably sets the initial branch in the resulting repository.
264
+ (merge 360a326 jc/upload-pack-send-symref later to maint).

+
266
+ * We did not handle cases where http transport gets redirected during
267
+ the authorization request (e.g. from http:// to https://).
268
+ (merge 70900ed jk/http-auth-redirects later to maint).

270
* Bash prompting code to deal with an SVN remote as an upstream
271
were coded in a way not supported by older Bash versions (3.x).
