41
+ when it takes too long.
42
+
43
+ * "git fetch" learned to fetch a commit at the tip of an unadvertised
44
+ ref by specifying a raw object name from the command line when the
45
+ server side supports this feature.
46
+
47
+ * "git count-objects -v" learned to report leftover temporary
48
+ packfiles and other garbage in the object store.

+ * A new read-only credential helper (in contrib/) to interact with
51
