* "git cherry-pick A" worked on an unborn branch, but "git
60
cherry-pick A..B" didn't.
61
62
+ * "git add -i/-p" learned to honor diff.compactionHeuristic
63
+ experimental knob, so that the user can work on the same hunk split
64
+ as "git diff" output.
65
+
66
+ * "log --graph --format=" learned that "%>|(N)" specifies the width
67
+ relative to the terminal's left edge, not relative to the area to
68
+ draw text that is to the right of the ancestry-graph section. It
69
+ also now accepts negative N that means the column limit is relative
70
+ to the right border.
71
+
72
+ * The ownership rule for the piece of memory that hold references to
73
+ be fetched in "git fetch" was screwy, which has been cleaned up.
74
+
75
+ * "git bisect" makes an internal call to "git diff-tree" when
76
+ bisection finds the culprit, but this call did not initialize the
77
+ data structure to pass to the diff-tree API correctly.
78
+
79
+ * Formats of the various data (and how to validate them) where we use
80
+ GPG signature have been documented.
81
+
82
+ * Fix an unintended regression in v2.9 that breaks "clone --depth"
83
+ that recurses down to submodules by forcing the submodules to also
84
+ be cloned shallowly, which many server instances that host upstream
85
+ of the submodules are not prepared for.
86
+
87
+ * Fix unnecessarily waste in the idiomatic use of ': ${VAR=default}'
88
+ to set the default value, without enclosing it in double quotes.
89
+
90
+ * Some platform-specific code had non-ANSI strict declarations of C
91
+ functions that do not take any parameters, which has been
92
+ corrected.
93
+
94
+ * The internal code used to show local timezone offset is not
95
+ prepared to handle timestamps beyond year 2100, and gave a
96
+ bogus offset value to the caller. Use a more benign looking
97
+ +0000 instead and let "git log" going in such a case, instead
98
+ of aborting.
99
+
100
+ * One among four invocations of readlink(1) in our test suite has
101
+ been rewritten so that the test can run on systems without the
102
+ command (others are in valgrind test framework and t9802).
103
+
104
+ * t/perf needs /usr/bin/time with GNU extension; the invocation of it
105
+ is updated to "gtime" on Darwin.
106
+
107
+ * A bug, which caused "git p4" while running under verbose mode to
108
+ report paths that are omitted due to branch prefix incorrectly, has
109
+ been fixed; the command said "Ignoring file outside of prefix" for
110
+ paths that are _inside_.
111
+
112
+ * The top level documentation "git help git" still pointed at the
113
+ documentation set hosted at now-defunct google-code repository.
114
+ Update it to point to https://git.github.io/htmldocs/git.html
115
+ instead.
