56 - The code to squelch output from "git diff -w --name-status"
57 - etc. for paths that "git diff -w -p" would have stayed silent
58 - leaked output from dry-run patch generation, which has been
59 - corrected.

78 - Recently we attempted to improve "git diff -w" and friends to

91 - The "--short" option of "git status" that meant output for humans
92 - and "-z" option to show NUL delimited output format did not mix
93 - well, and colored some but not all things. The command has been
94 - updated to color all elements consistently in such a case.

112 - fail doe to overly long pathname in our test environment, which has
113 - been worked around by using "ssh-agent -T".
