+ * An old regression in "git describe --all $annotated_tag^0" has been
30
+ fixed.
31
+ (merge 1bba00130a dk/describe-all-output-fix later to maint).
32

33
+ * "git status" after moving a path in the working tree (hence making
34
+ it appear "removed") and then adding with the -N option (hence
35
+ making that appear "added") detected it as a rename, but did not
36
+ report the old and new pathnames correctly.
37
+ (merge 176ea74793 nd/ita-wt-renames-in-status later to maint).
38
+
39
+ * "git svn dcommit" did not take into account the fact that a
40
+ svn+ssh:// URL with a username@ (typically used for pushing) refers
41
+ to the same SVN repository without the username@ and failed when
42
+ svn.pushmergeinfo option is set.
43
+ (merge 8aaed892fd jm/svn-pushmergeinfo-fix later to maint).
44
+
45
+ * API clean-up around revision traversal.
46
+ (merge 6fcec2f9ae rs/lose-leak-pending later to maint).
47
+
48
+ * "git merge -Xours/-Xtheirs" learned to use our/their version when
49
+ resolving a conflicting updates to a symbolic link.
50
+ (merge fd48b46474 jc/merge-symlink-ours-theirs later to maint).
51

52
+ * "git clone $there $here" is allowed even when here directory exists
53
+ as long as it is an empty directory, but the command incorrectly
54
+ removed it upon a failure of the operation.
55
+ (merge d45420c1c8 jk/abort-clone-with-existing-dest later to maint).
56
+
57
+ * "git commit --fixup" did not allow "-m<message>" option to be used
58
+ at the same time; allow it to annotate resulting commit with more
59
+ text.
60
+ (merge 30884c9afc ab/commit-m-with-fixup later to maint).
61
+
62
+ * When resetting the working tree files recursively, the working tree
63
+ of submodules are now also reset to match.
64
+ (merge 7dcc1f4df8 sb/submodule-update-reset-fix later to maint).
65
+
66
+ * "git stash -- <pathspec>" incorrectly blew away untracked files in
67
+ the directory that matched the pathspec, which has been corrected.
68
+ (merge bba067d2fa tg/stash-with-pathspec-fix later to maint).
69

70
+ * Instead of maintaining home-grown email address parsing code, ship
71
+ a copy of reasonably recent Mail::Address to be used as a fallback
72
+ in 'git send-email' when the platform lacks it.
73
+ (merge d60be8acab mm/send-email-fallback-to-local-mail-address later to maint).
74
+
75
+ * "git add -p" was taught to ignore local changes to submodules as
76
+ they do not interfere with the partial addition of regular changes
77
+ anyway.
78
+ (merge 12434efc1d nd/add-i-ignore-submodules later to maint).
