56
+ * The "--color=<when>" argument to the commands in the diff family
57
+ was described poorly.
58

59

60
+ * The arguments given to pre-rebase hook were not documented.
61

62

63
+ * The v4 index format was not documented.
64
+ (merge 647d879 nd/doc-index-format later to maint).
65
+
66
+ * The "--match=<pattern>" argument "git describe" takes uses glob
67
+ pattern but it wasn't obvious from the documentation.
68
+ (merge 5229149 gp/describe-match-uses-glob-pattern later to maint).
69
+
70
+ * Some sources failed to compile on systems that lack NI_MAXHOST in
71
+ their system header (e.g. z/OS).
72
+ (merge 3b130ade dm/ni-maxhost-may-be-missing later to maint).

74
+ * Add an example use of "--env-filter" in "filter-branch"
75
+ documentation.
76
+ (merge 21b6e4f tk/doc-filter-branch later to maint).
77

78
+ * "git bundle verify" did not say "records a complete history" for a
79
+ bundle that does not have any prerequisites.
80
+ (merge a02ffe0 lf/bundle-verify-list-prereqs later to maint).
81
+
82
+ * In the v1.8.0 era, we changed symbols that do not have to be global
83
+ to file scope static, but a few functions in graph.c were used by
84
+ CGit from sideways bypassing the entry points of the API the
85
+ in-tree users use.
