- * When an object "$tree:$path" does not exist, if $path does exist in the
13
- subtree of $tree that corresponds to the subdirectory the user is in,
14
- git now suggests using "$tree:./$path" in addition to the advice to use
15

* "git blame" learned "--abbrev[=<n>]" option to control the minimum
13
number of hexdigits shown for commit object names.

- * "git clean" used to fail on an empty directory that is not readable,
21
- even though rmdir(2) could remove such a directory. Now we attempt it
22
- as the last resort.

15
* "git diff -C -C" used to disable the rename detection entirely when
16
there are too many copy candidate paths in the tree; now it falls
17
back to "-C" when doing so would keep the copy candidate paths

* "git merge" learned "-" as a short-hand for "the previous branch", just

- * "git stash apply" can now apply to a working tree with changes as long

+ * "git rev-list --count" used with "--cherry-mark" counts the cherry-picked
31

* "git submodule update" learned "--force" option to get rid of local

changes in submodules and replace them with the up-to-date version.

51
- really have that many stash entries.

+ * Compressed tarball gitweb generates is made without the timestamp of
37
+ the tarball generation; snapshot from the same tree should result in
